Description
The Bandai HGUC #131 1/144 RMS-179 GM II is a High Grade Universal Century model kit based on the Earth Federation Forces mass-produced mobile suit from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. The GM II is an upgraded version of the original RGM-79 GM, featuring improved performance while retaining the same reliable frame used extensively during the Gryps Conflict. This kit is suitable for beginner to intermediate builders, featuring snap-fit assembly with no painting or glue required. The GM II also appears in Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, making it a versatile addition to any Universal Century collection.
Key Features
- Modern Articulation Design: Double-jointed elbows, ball-and-socket joints throughout, 360-degree waist rotation, and swiveling thigh joints provide an impressive range of posability for an HG kit.
- Beam Rifle with Articulated Grip: The beam rifle features a movable foregrip, allowing the GM II to wield it with both hands for stable firing poses.
- Versatile Shield Mounting: The shield attaches to either forearm via an L-shaped adapter, mountable on the side or back of the arm.
- Beam Saber with Effect Part: The beam saber hilt stores on the backpack and can be removed as a handheld weapon, with a translucent beam effect part included.
- Intelligent Color Separation: Minimal color correction needed thanks to well-designed parts separation across 8 runners.
- Swappable Manipulators: Multiple hand parts included for weapon-holding and expressive posing.
- Marking Stickers: Tetron marking stickers included for additional detailing on the mobile suit and its weapons.
