Key Features
A key feature of this model is its arm structure, which is articulated through a series of five consecutive ball joints, allowing for an extensive range of motion and posing possibilities. The Iron Nails on each hand also feature individual articulation. The kit faithfully reproduces the Mobile Suit's underwater cruise mode; this configuration is achieved by swapping parts to retract the limbs into the torso, thereby reducing its hydrodynamic profile for aquatic operations.

About the MSM-03 Gogg
The MSM-03 Gogg is a mass-produced amphibious Mobile Suit manufactured by the Zimmad Company for the Principality of Zeon during the One Year War. It was the first design of its kind to be successfully produced, geared toward submarine combat operations and coastal base assaults. Its heavy armor was designed to withstand the high pressures of the deep ocean. The Gogg's propulsion and reactor cooling systems utilized water, granting it extended operational time in aquatic environments. Its fixed armaments include two mega particle cannons in the torso, torpedo launchers, and powerful Iron Nails for close-quarters combat.
