It's probably supplanted by the EG Gundam in this role in some respects, but this HG GM was always the one I'd recommend to people who wanted something a little more practical than scratch pla-plate to experiment on and practice. It's quite cheap and quick to build, and you're left with an open canvas: Plenty of seam-lines to fill, lots of open areas for scribing, or whatever you want to do.
The back head camera can be solved by snipping a bit of the clear green runner flag to size and gluing it in, and you can always drill a hole in the dummy beam saber handle to fit your dozens of spare saber blades. :)
You dropped this, 👑
GM/GM is probably my favorite. Origin gms will probably best it now that origin has a normal gm as a standard kit
I'll definitely be getting two of the Origin GMs!

Lots of potential for customs using the GM/GM and Origin GMs! I'm already happy looking at a repainted one I made almost 2 years ago. This classic GM just needs more effort but will still make a great custom
My fav remains the Thunderbolt's
As a newcomer into this hobby, I just built this, being the third kit I've ever built(first being an EG Rx-78, second was HG Zaku II), and I have to say this felt really good and easy to put together! Nice video as always, man!
My first Gunpla was this past Christmas. This GM was my 26th build so far. I got an addiction.
ive been into gundam for about 4 months but ive built 12 kits. this GM is by far my favorite purely by vibe. its so simple but gives off an awesome classic MGS anime feeling
I really like the smooth low-detail style of the older HGs. It looks very anime accurate and if I wanted a bunch of small details that's what RG is for.
I love the GM line of mobile suits because they look like they are constantly worried
The way the joints do together makes fixing seem lines an absolute breeze on all the early HGUC GMs. The price and ease of construction makes it the perfect kit practicing painting or any modelling techniques really.
Despite the age of this kit, I still want 3 of these, for Grunt MS are always fun as a squad
I always loved the mint plastic on older kits
Couldn't agree less. It makes them look like toys instead of scale model kits.
@@simpleanswer8954no, it makes them what they're meant to.
@@paulheap1982 Then why isn't it that color on the box? Oops.
@@simpleanswer8954because the box is wrong, it's mint in the anime.
@@r1l426 "Anime accuracy! The box is wrong!" Talk about your bad stereotypes for anime nerds. A comment about preference was answered with a with whining about anime accuracy. Great job reminding me why the model kits are cool, but the fans are not.
Definitely old and a bit stiff, but it's a GM lol, it doesn't have to pull off crazy stunts. Perfectly normal to have a bunch just standing there in not-so-dynamic poses. With that said though, can't wait for the HGTO GM.
I've built 2 of these now and have the white dingo recolor left to build and I love this kit. Super easy and quick build (2 runners), perfect for a first kit.
As much as I love the new GM Origin kit, it would be awesome if the HGUC original got the revive treatment.
Honestly, we need an revive version of our gm boi❤
Yeah and with modern tech it won’t need any stickers or paint
I’ve recently started building and painting the older HGUC sets and I absolutely love them.
These are the sets I’ve built.
• HGUC 001 RX-77-2 Guncannon
• HGUC 007 RX-75-4 Guntank
• HGUC 021 RX-78-2 Gundam
I just built this a couple days ago and I'm loving it
having built one of these old boys not that long ago definitely makes me appreciate and look foreword to the upcoming origin gm's(both pbandai and gen release) set to release a few months from now
The GM was my first kit and my favorite mobile suit.
I also believe that this old Gundam shield design is superior when compared to the Revive or Origin.
There is a revive gm?!?!?!?
@@tankmaniac9054oops. Sorry. Didn’t mean to get your hopes up. When I said revive, I was referring to the rx78-2 revive shield. Since both used the same shield in there first HGUC kit.
ok
This was literally my fastest build ever. Put one together a few weeks ago.
I just wish it had thigh/hip swivels because other than that it's pretty good for the time. A good army builder, cheap and easy to make :)
Got this guy not too long ago, very surprised to find out that there aren't a lot of classic GMs in the HG line.
Fortunately they’re all pretty solid though from my experience!
I bought an ecopla of this during my trip in japan, at diver city. that black sticker on an all black kit is still amusing to me.
Untill the recent updated first.grades and even the 30mm line in general, this was the kit I would have recommended anyone wanting something to try gunpla for the first time. The cost, minimal accessories and the fact you are working with a grunt suit means you can safely mess up and still work with it. The one thing I am glad to never see again is the fixed shoulder and hip pegs. They snapped off too easily, and weren't easy to fix.
i recently built this and the ecopla kit. very nice and simple kits. my only complaint are the lack of hands. but you can easily solve that by buying the hand accessory kits. oh and the toothpick beam saber, but to be fair this is an old kit and everyone has extra beam saber blades laying around
love this kit, I got like 4 of them!!!
This could still use the Revive treatment, but it definitely needs the EG treatment. Can you imagine the whole battalions and customizations that would result from that?!
An EG would be awesome
I love this kit so much. I got 4 of them as a squad.
Great kit for squad building! Very cheap! 👍
Its been 23 years, Bandai... please, we need a revive!
Cheapest and easiest HG to build to date, just next to the HGUC Guntank
These old kits appeal to me because they're great practice for seam lines and you get to the painting pretty quick. And of course, dirt cheap!!
Totally! This is a great kit for those reasons
Can't wait for your GM Cannon Conversion video!
I just bought the gm so its great to see your video
Can’t wait to see the full conversion!
This kit is fantastic I built it before super easy build
Another solid kit that I personally would recommend is the HG G-Bouncer. I love it. Waiting for the Origin GM!
A lot of great kits in the HG AGE line! 👍
This really could use a HGUC Revive though. HECK, I'm surprised they didn't make when when they released the RX-78- Revive. Though for that price, great army builder, that's fer shure
Huh? Out of nowhere. This kit's pretty crusty especially in the knees but I like it, especially as a GM main in Evolution. I've got the new Origin GM pre-ordered
Bandai released some new waterslides for the GM to make them into some versions of the GM. Like White Dingo etc. Since you have the GM cannon conversion part you can make the White Dingo version of that GM Cannon.
Just drill a tiny hole in the dummy saber so you can fit a spare saber blade in and just toss the toothpick.
That’s also true!
Or cut the toothpick blade off and then drill a hole into the handle and then you can use your spare beam blades. And drill a hole into the other beam saber handle and then you can double wield. The possibilities are endless.😊
Just build the guy last week, what a coincidence
It's the humble GM! I want a revive version
Revive or EG? 🤔
@@ZakuAurelius Both would be nice, but I want a revive first.
BTW Zach, I love your videos, and I will continue to support you
If there isn't already, there should be a conversation to make the gundam revive into a gm revive
I bashed one of these with an EG Gundam to make a EG GM, it looks awesome, was a cheap project, and it taught me a lot!
That’s awesome! 👍
I have this kit and cold District version
I painted mine in Zeon colors
How dare lol😂
@@YiminyCricketit goes with the RGM-79 colors Zaku ii i have.
@@jonfoy6477 OH, GOOD HEAVENS
@@YiminyCricketwhat? I needed to try out paint pens and practice airbrushing.
@@jonfoy6477 i know lol
Very much considering getting the resin gm cannon parts but put them on my hg GM Command to make the GM Command Cannon
It looks like the face and forward camera might work with putting an offcut of the sticker behind them.
I thought it was gonna b a new contest 😂
i need to build another gm,the one i had built before i gave away to a friend.
10k likes for you awe.
My very first gunpla 😢
It might be ancient, might be crusty, might be lacking the bazooka and a beam effect part and might be covered in seam lines, but at least it's pretty color accurate and I just have a big ole soft spot for it.
Just a neat lil grunty guy.
I need to find a copy of the original RX-78-2 and the GM from those times. The GM kit doesn't have a clear beam saber part. Are both of these kits available ZakuAurelius? Where can I find both?
Well, I still prefer this with all its limitations than a possible revive version with weird proportions.
Bought mine a few months ago and the knees were a bit shaky
wish they make EG GM
thanks for this review I haven't been sure if I should get this because I worry it might have been really bad or alright for grunt suit because a lot of the promo photos ive seen are really bad non-dynamic poses
Yeah the production images don’t really do it much justice
I would also hand paint that lower part. Remember, multiple thin coats followed by a top coat and no one will know it's hand panted.
Man, Entry Grade GM would be nice
😎👍🏼
I actually have the GM I but as to what I can tell its really easy as known but if you wanted to upgrade its as high as GM III but also you could check Commando and a GM Side Cannon version which could be found but eh?
The likelihood for best soon would be the Cucuruz Doan's Island Version in just a few months
too bad there's no revive of this. At least there's the origin version to forward to.
What type of paint would you use to hand paint.
For me, lacquer paints. SMS are super easy cause they’re even pre-thinned
Huge fan of grunt suits. Glad to hear this is a good one, considering it’s age. 🙂
This kit is so old, but it looks on point, probably thanks to the GM's design being so simple. I'm surprised
Bandai revive 78-2 & guncannon but not gm & guntank☹️
😢
It’d be awesome if you went a step further beyond just adding the GM Cannon resin conversion, and modified the joints to try and bring it up to modern standards! I’ve been thinking of doing a conversion of the EG Rx-78-2 to try and make a fake GM revive!
also what's funny is that we haven't yet get a HGUC Revive version of the GM which must be a retool of the HGUC Revive RX-78-2.
Of all the Bandai kits I've built, this is by far the worst offender for the box art misrepresenting the kit. The painted version on the box should have been painted blue instead of white. They do that quite often it seems, but it's always but this is the most blatant. Usually you open the box, see the color, then go back and see how the box sort of does show that color, but the shading or something disguised it. This is just straight up the wrong color on the box.
can you try the hg gp02
It's cool looking except for the skirting. That would have looked more cool if it was more parts. I like my skirting more Roman looking. Then again it is an older design and basic.
they cancel RG GM...very dissapointed...😢😢
Just built this GM months ago! It's a Gem 💎 of a kit. Still dated.😅
Not first
just got it from hobbyco
