I have been waiting a long time for a kit like this, but a part of me wishes it came with a head that more closely resembled how the GM looked in the original anime, but I understand that this is a representation of the Origin design.
Already have it and also 2 other pbandai sleggar and moroccan front, I distribute the weapons from this kit to other GM's, definitely worthed to have them all
This kit has a lot of nice options but is pricey for army builds where you might not use all of the added equipment. Unfortunately, it's hard to say if we'll ever get a non-MSD base GM without all the addons.
I made a bet with someone that I'll eat my pants if Bandai released a modernized vanilla GM kit before I'm dead Looks like I'm gonna have to add pants into my meal today.
I really like this kit but after building the Origin Gundam, Sleggar's GM, and the Moroccan Front GM I was definitely feeling a bit tired building it. I think my biggest gripe is that they give you all the numbers and emblems but don't tell you where they're from. 101 and 102 appeared in the Doan's Island movie but all the other numbers are from the Manga and I had to reread a good chunk of The Origin to find out what was what.
SOOO MAD I missed out on the Guncannon from earlier last year. I stopped paying attention to Gunpla AGAIN, so I had ZERO clue this was coming out. I would have preordered it if I could. I ADORE grunt mobile suits, especially the GM.
It's a weird nitpick since they choose to absolutely spoil us with so much stuff in one kit, but I didn't like that this kit comes with three types of beam guns, but no machine-guns. I converted the "early type" Beam Spray gun on mine to a ballistic firearm since it frankly looks like it should be one anyways. Pretty simple conversion. I cut off the back end piece, added some tubing to the front that matches the diameter of the 90mm machine-gun on other kits, re-attached the rear piece to the muzzle (narrow end out, thicker end toward the weapon) and drilled it out so it now resembles a bird-cage style flash hider like what you'd see on M16 rifles. I'm still debating trying to cut some small bits of plasticard up and cut into the side of the weapon near the "magazine" to create an ejection port, or be lazy just claim "Oh it probably fires some sort of caseless ammo." When/if they get around to a Revive of the basic GM, I hope it includes a 90mm MG.
You know what'd be a weird p-Bandai release, Schwarzette prototype ver. (the intended ai assisted successor to Darilblade). Only new face & new stickers, but would be a funny release.
As someone that didn't really like "The Origin", I am pleased that this very RGM was in "Cucuruz Doan's Island". I can include it in my HG UC collection (albeit if in a grey area...) alongside its older 2001 cousin :D
GM Gang! I got ahold of the Moroccan Type Origin GM, so this being a proper retail release is awesome. Now if only they release the Origin version of the GM Cannon Space Assault Type
Pity for the missiles made with stickers. it would have required just 4 red pieces to make them clor accurate. For the rest the model is amazing. Better looking than all WfM put together and even if it uses polycaps it is very solid and well articulated. I got myself 3 to build a squadron
I think Origin Gundam has a bit more going on than OG Gundam so in Origin universe it makes sense for their version of the GM to be a cut above the UC grunts
I'm really impressed they decided to stick so many accessories on it, even hand options.
Now, to wait another 5 years for a HGUC GM Revive
This is the closest thing we got brother

I've snipped off the gundam chin off of mine and just cleaned it up by sanding and now it looks more like a classic GM
@@sebmarson3492 I thought about doing that, but a part of me likes the new look as well. I'm completely split on this.
I wish they did too, considering they already made origin GMs with normal style heads years ago
I’m kit bashing this with the p-Bandai gm night seeker to add the classic front skirt, shin armor and head to get as close to original design
This makes me wonder why Bandai is still not making a Revive version of the “standard” HGUC Jim kit.
Already have it and also 2 other pbandai sleggar and moroccan front, I distribute the weapons from this kit to other GM's, definitely worthed to have them all

If bandai makes a regular origin gm you can buy this set and spread the extra weapons to the other gms
I made a bet with someone that I'll eat my pants if Bandai released a modernized vanilla GM kit before I'm dead
Looks like I'm gonna have to add pants into my meal today.
Lolz good luck bro!😂
This is Katoki's redesign of the GM for Origin though, not an actual modernized Okawara GM. So save your pants soldier. There's more waiting to do.

That's my boy. GM gundams always will have a special place in my heart.
its gotta be the dom ngl
Ace pilots with normal type mass produced grunt units = Real aces
Suck on it Amuro/Kira/Setsuna
@@First-Name_Last-Name Technically Setsuna did use an Union Flag in early part of the 00 movie. But he is already an Innovator at that point.
I don't have any Gundam kits and I agree

how different is the colour of the white between this and the morrocan from? my missile pod one is basically. it feels like.
Mfw the GMs yet again underperform in every single scene they're in: 🗿🔫
This kit is amazing. I sure hope hope it did great in the recent movie.
It was trash in the movie. 6-8 appeared and couldn't down a single zaku even when outnumbering it 3-1. Lmao. Garbage.
@@billdole9766 to be fair, it's not like they were taking on regular Zeon pilots
@@billdole9766 unironically average GM performance, even though it's not a bad suit ;-;
Yeahhh about that...
@@bS0up It's always 100 GMs getting destroyed by a single ace zaku, never the other way around. At least in animated/tv showings.
The large beam rifle fits nicely in the center of the backpack and actually looks good there too.
im surprised you missed out to highlight the v crotch is parts separated and not stickers
That's just wrong.
@@churro5322pardon?

Bandai would never break its quota flow chart. Unless it was to gouge the fan base for 100$❤
I don't think we'll get a normal Origin GM. Just gotta get this and remove the extra weaponry
the GM missile spamming like it belonged to U.N. SPACY, lol.
Is it just a color scheme difference between the moroccan front type, sleggar gm, and this one?
I still hope GM gets a revive, the normal gun sword board loadout would suffice at a cheaper price for army builds
I would definitely buy a kit with 3 grunt suits.
Picked this up a week ago. Might change up the colors and markings, but this looks good.
Been waiting for this review!

They already made a permet score six aerial I wouldn’t be surprised. It’s free money after all lol
Yeah, need about 10 of these.
Could this pass as a GM II
The shield slide track is a good molding.
Can this pass as a GM II?
This kit is really fun i love all the weapon that come with it
That beam shot carbine is cool.
The surface behind the visor is just asking to be painted with a Molotow Chrome pen.
I do that with all of my GMs and any other MS with clear visors and background details.
As someone that didn't really like "The Origin", I am pleased that this very RGM was in "Cucuruz Doan's Island". I can include it in my HG UC collection (albeit if in a grey area...) alongside its older 2001 cousin :D
GM Gang!
I got ahold of the Moroccan Type Origin GM, so this being a proper retail release is awesome.
Now if only they release the Origin version of the GM Cannon Space Assault Type
they do have an origin version of the GM cannon but its unfortunately P-bandai
They've already done the space type as a 🅿️ bruhndai
is it compatible with other origin kits?
Of course!
Pity for the missiles made with stickers. it would have required just 4 red pieces to make them clor accurate.
For the rest the model is amazing. Better looking than all WfM put together and even if it uses polycaps it is very solid and well articulated.
I got myself 3 to build a squadron
Recently I've been thinking about trying out The Origins RX-78-2, but after this review, maybe it's about time to finally get a GM.
The description on the booklet says LJG Sleggar Law’s GM is green and now I don’t know what to believe
Picked one of these up recently, was very pleased with how it went together.
Definitely the best version of the OYW GM.
Water-slide decals should be mandatory in the US market.
I'd buy like 4 of those, each holding different weapons, just for the fun of it.
It would be great if, we got a MS team release with various weapons. And I would love to see a MG release of this GM with all the different weapons.
Bout time we got something like this for the GM. We’ll probably never get a 2.0 HGUC of the classic GM but this fills the void just fine.
Vanilla GM with chocolate sprinkles please! Cool review and kudos for getting the preview video out the same day.
also, I've got some Gundam markers, so I'd colored those areas on the places the stickers would go to.
Hey, great kit! There goes my backlog.
What is "Mobile Suit Discovery?" New line?
EDIT: Polycaps!? Booo
Basically the Origin's counterpart of the main continuity's MSV, which is a "family tree" of mobile suit
development for both factions iirc.
I always thought that the original GMs are -downgrade- budget lite of RX 78-2 but this is make it as if it improvement of OG Gundam
I think Origin Gundam has a bit more going on than OG Gundam so in Origin universe it makes sense for their version of the GM to be a cut above the UC grunts
Yes! Yes! Yes! Love this kit! Oh my gaud!❤❤❤❤ gm are so beautiful!!! 🥰
I wanted the orange and white version, but got the true GM seafoam and red beautiful 😍 🤩 ❤
Duck Egg Blue
😎👍🏼
Great video! God bless praying for you!
Why? what happened?
i dont own an original gm yet,
Dang!.....get yo life together 😂 they are a simple beauty ✨️
If I had cash to splurge Id buy one but currently saving up for a PG or a ver.ka.
Priorities. 😢
