For Twitter: / kakarot197 Get the kit here: 1999: adf.ly/sCZ6N AmiAmi: adf.ly/sCZ6u HLJ: adf.ly/sCZ7U Hobbywave: adf.ly/sCZtO Retail Price: 700 Yen Release Date: April 2001
This is a good starter kit if you ask me. Dirt cheap, so if you break something (like I did) no great loss. In a way it truly is the GM - the mass produced Gundam knock off.
I’m actually quite happy with the HGUC RGM-79 GM and it simplicity because it was always meant to essentially be a simplified version of the RX-78 series Gundam.
I would probably consider getting this, as it's often easy to find very cheap, but I can't quite get over the diaper. VERY glad they more or less retconned that with all of the other GMs
They also retconned that with both the MGs. The 1.0 only gives you a GM II-like skirt whereas the 2.0 gives you the option between the GM II-like skirt and the diaper(albeit in 2 pieces instead of just 1 solid slab)
@@kakarot197 oh hey i know this is old as hell by now but uhh !! this kit has a feature where theres a little grey part inside the torso with a bit of detailing ? its totally unseen in this review, bc theres a feature u missed ! if u pull up the torso on the peg, it adds a side to side tilt/ crunch, and , something youll appreciate, lets you flip the skirt up all the way for much better front leg articulation !! :]
I do have to agree with you in that the beam spraygun is underrated. It looks quite nice and I am a little surprised we didn't see it as a side-arm much, though I guess in the canon, it was too expensive to really use for that purpose much. a shame, really, as it is quite nifty and I like the idea of a beam pistol and that while it lacks the punch of the rifle at long range, its higher firing rate makes it formidable closer up.
I do wonder how expensive it would be to produce it as a side-arm for all of them. Especially the GM Kai seems to be made with the idea of using the Beam Spray Gun as a sidearm, with both holes in the sideskirts serving as hardpoints. And one hell of a sidearm it is, even goes through the armour of a Dom with ease :3
Totally, and has a better firing rate than the Gundam's beam rifle did, and hopefully better ammo capacity. that said, I am sure they could have figured out a way to make it cheaper, but pistols in general just aren't seen a ton in gundam, sadly. The Rick Dias being a notable exception.
Arrowdodger I hope you were only talking about UC, cause otherwise you forgot 1 important machine, famous for it's pistols :3 As for UC, all I can think of other than the Rick Dias is the Methuss, that 1 custom Jegan and the Victory Gundam/Gun-Ez(the pistol pops out of the beam rifle). That's about your lot unfortunately =/ We could really use a few more, which is why I love the K9 =P
***** I meant UC, yeah, otherwise, 00 has some, Build Fighters included many with pistols and/or knives, Strike Noir has pistols, and more I am sure. Which one is the famous one you had in mind?
You can make the handle useable with a hobby knife or a pin vise. Just cut a teeny hole in the peg and a regular blade will fit in easy. Also, the shield mount in the arm is extremely useful for kitbashing. You can mount the old 1/144 Gouf Flight Type's 3 barreled machinegun on them.
I bought this as my first gunpla to try out and I learned so much of how to use my tools (Nippers exacto knife and files) and not to use sharpies as panel lining. I love GM's but now I upped my gunpla tools and learned so it's a good build for first timers but for what is out there now. no. Like you said it's cheap Amazon had it for like 6-8 USD when I bought it my tools are more expensive then the kit lol. love the videos keep it up bro!
I'm glad they kept this kit very basic and cheap because then you can buy multiples and use a battalion of them for a re-enactment diorama of a big battle. It's also a good practice bed for seam line removal for beginners and also battle damage effects for more advanced modelers. The worse the kit is, the less you mind destroying them!
It's dirt cheap as far as kit goes and it's so retro and simple that of course it is. Hell, go practice painting on it with markers or whatever, consider it expendable.
One of the easiest hgs to start alongside guncannon and guntank. Minimal stickers, not many small parts, quick build. Gundams can have small parts easy to lose, break, cut usually v fins and need care
Its seen in the episode where Char attacks Jaburo. It's the one Char guts with his claw. If you search youtube for the offical gundam.info's profile of the original RGM-79 you can also see it.
Episode 28(English)/29(Japanese) "Tragedy in Jaburo" around 19:07. He's even holding it with both hands and firing it, right before he gets gutted. The moment the screen changes to char punching a hole in him, he's holding the beam spray gun again. Due to the recent retcons, you could even assume that the beam spray gun was the animation error lol
Hey kakarot! Just recently bought a HGUC Gm (Haven't got it yet) But how do you extend the joint for the neck/head? To make it look down and up better Thanks ^^
with toothpicks (especially ones not molded in the hand) you could just take a spare beamsaber, cut off the molded in beam, and either drill a hole in it or glue a spare beam on.
Yours was minty green but I just bought one and it’s almost blue, like a shade off from GM sniper2 blue. Is this a common thing with the gms? I feel like it may have been age that distorted the color since it was a kit from 2001, really debating on painting it.. anyone else run into this issue?
+ZaKu_2Chill zaku2 It's probably this kit? www.dalong.net/review/hg/hsp7/hsp7_i.htm You get 2 HGUC GMs and a Launch with that set. There's also a review of the set on dalong, with I can't link directly to it: www.dalong.net/review/hg.htm (third row of the limited edition section all the way at the bottom)
Raffaele Passarelli Char's Zaku is HGUC, but the Zaku on the right is an HG: www.hlj.com/product/BAN61217/Gun th-cam.com/video/RTKxJBv28Po/w-d-xo.html Less articulation, but much more detailed.
GM III is the best one out there. Bulky equipment, MK-II backpack and a great look overall. GM Custom, Quel , K9 and Cardigan(Crap load of equipment, good gimmick. also, has the parts to make a yellow HGUC powered gm.) are great options
I hate the look of the RX-78-2 Gundam; Mauro's in the 1979 first series and the one this is based on; and I pretty much dislike all E.F. Gundams as they tend to look like overly bright, cheap plastic Asian sci-fi toy robots; kinda like most Transformers do also. I am a huge fan of the Zeon Zaku's as they look so WH40K (they even have a similar helmet and faceplate to an Astartes Mk 6 Corvus pattern 'beaky' power armour suit). This RGM-79 GM with its all-in motorbike helmet/ Halo MasterChef/Spartan helmet like; type of head with its mono visor and the stripped down 2 colour scheme. I find as pure awesome and the only E.F. Mobile Suit I like; probably again as it looks so WH40k or what a real-world 18 meters tall, biped humanoid form walking tank combat mech may look like (another reason I like the Zakus' is as they have that same real-world sci-fi military vibe also)

Best grunt coming through
AngryAnon nope gm custom is better.
I think the jegan a type is my favorite grunt mobile suit
It is go not Jim
@@haloking8895 thanks for the typo reply to my 6 year old comment, my friend.
But also you’re wrong
@@AngryAnon It is go not Jim.
Bandai pls, revive this kit pls
Yea, still waiting for that...and a revive Guntank. Everyone always says get the build fighters GM instead but its not the same at all.
Yeah, always felt this design needed more love
As long as they keep milking unicorn trash no chance.
Well technically the GM/GM could work
Our cries for a revive of this kit are still left unanswered

perfect for modding. imagine the possibilities, paint and overall modifications

DoubleSuperWoodman Whats the measurement on the hole for the beam sabers? Gotta have me good gms yar
+drako1251 I don't remember the exact size but I used the smallest bit I had and enlarged the hole with my knife.
Alright, thanks.I think I may just paint the toothpick a nice deep blue though.
I bought this as my first gunpla to try out and I learned so much of how to use my tools (Nippers exacto knife and files) and not to use sharpies as panel lining.

5:43 beam spray gun on steroids.
Can't wait for the Origin redesign.
Yes!
Still waiting fot the Origin redesign....
Your modified GM to the left of the reviewed GM is really cool.
This kit...is the reason why im in love to Gundam
Red is the most eye popping colour ever, no wonder the original gms always got rekt.
Gotta hide those 18 meter tall Mobile suits in discreet colours.
@@seawind930 Only ace pilots can get away with bright colors.
Definately... We need to REVIVE the GM u.u
+valorthefox I Know Right ?!
Yes! We need a revive GM!
We may be getting a revive gm soon thank to the GM/GM kit so hopes are up
ROBOLORD117 Mk.1 yes please!
I also found that the Beam Spray Gun works with the GM Sniper II, so I use it as a sidearm for my said sniper
I'm glad they kept this kit very basic and cheap because then you can buy multiples and use a battalion of them for a re-enactment diorama of a big battle.
It's also a good practice bed for seam line removal for beginners and also battle damage effects for more advanced modelers. The worse the kit is, the less you mind destroying them!
I’m about to get this kit, but it will be my first kit, would you recommend this to a beginner
It's dirt cheap as far as kit goes and it's so retro and simple that of course it is. Hell, go practice painting on it with markers or whatever, consider it expendable.
Though if you want something even MORE expendable you can look up First Grades, the parts aren't coloured out of the box though.
One of the easiest hgs to start alongside guncannon and guntank. Minimal stickers, not many small parts, quick build. Gundams can have small parts easy to lose, break, cut usually v fins and need care
Oh, the irony, i literally just got this in the mail today from Japan.
Great timing!
And the inevitable question is, "Should I have bought this?"
Beam Rifle animation error?!
This, I must find!!! *goes back to watching the original Gundam**
Its seen in the episode where Char attacks Jaburo. It's the one Char guts with his claw. If you search youtube for the offical gundam.info's profile of the original RGM-79 you can also see it.
Episode 28(English)/29(Japanese) "Tragedy in Jaburo" around 19:07. He's even holding it with both hands and firing it, right before he gets gutted. The moment the screen changes to char punching a hole in him, he's holding the beam spray gun again.
Due to the recent retcons, you could even assume that the beam spray gun was the animation error lol
*****
And it's on the movie too! You'd think they'd reanimate that part.
Bandai must "Revive" the GM! :(
José they did with the gm gm i guess
This name is so unoriginal but who cares Not really. The new GM isn't an official GM, but maybe the GM Revive can use parts from the new GM.
Real grade GM when?
Hey kakarot! Just recently bought a HGUC Gm (Haven't got it yet)
But how do you extend the joint for the neck/head? To make it look down and up better
Thanks ^^
muh first kit
Kurosawa The Legend Same here.
with toothpicks (especially ones not molded in the hand) you could just take a spare beamsaber, cut off the molded in beam, and either drill a hole in it or glue a spare beam on.
Thanks for the vid your the only reviewer out there

I saw a limited edition kit on amazon fujikya gm the ride and I'm wondering if its a hguc or msia
+ZaKu_2Chill zaku2 It's probably this kit? www.dalong.net/review/hg/hsp7/hsp7_i.htm
You get 2 HGUC GMs and a Launch with that set.
There's also a review of the set on dalong, with I can't link directly to it: www.dalong.net/review/hg.htm (third row of the limited edition section all the way at the bottom)
I just bought like 40 of these
If bandai were to include the beam rifle, they would probably do it in some sort of premium quality not premium bandai mobile suit gundam line of kits
I need an entry grade gm
Bandai need to revive zaku 2 and GM 1, i need joke for that 2
I do love the Beam spray gun :)
This and a Zaku II were actually my first gunpla, I mainly got them because of the price.
We need a revive
I forget if you ever reviewed the spray gun set
We need a revive ;-;
or entry grade...
Hoping for a rg for this guy or the new gundam origin very to be tons better
How did you make the cool-ified GM? Did you put spacers in the neck and waist joints?
MY HGUC RGM-79 GM LED Create ^^
Those zakus at the end are the HGUC version as well?
Raffaele Passarelli Char's Zaku is HGUC, but the Zaku on the right is an HG: www.hlj.com/product/BAN61217/Gun th-cam.com/video/RTKxJBv28Po/w-d-xo.html
Less articulation, but much more detailed.
how do you extend the neck?
+Strike Noir Same as this here: th-cam.com/video/27Gfpvys6oc/w-d-xo.html
Got one of these to rough up for a diorama im doing pretty much because it was so damn cheap
only to people who want to build an army with like 30 of them
Does the shield on the GM fit the RX-78-2 Revive?
I might just get this to paint it as I always fear that I would destroy it but for 10$ I cant really destroy that much ^^
I bought 2 of them
New GM still better than this old punk.
Gm or jim
Zaku is better though
what If I like the GM just for the retro looks?
That means that you are a man of culture
I feel honored, sir.
I really want to get this guy just for the simple design.
i have 2 of these gulpa
What the best GM kit to start my gm collection?
GM III is the best one out there. Bulky equipment, MK-II backpack and a great look overall. GM Custom, Quel , K9 and Cardigan(Crap load of equipment, good gimmick. also, has the parts to make a yellow HGUC powered gm.) are great options
should I buy the GM I or the GM II Xd
GM II. If you like newer one, GM III a good to go.
Did you panel line it or did it come like that?
+Caleb Velazquez I did the panel lining.
