Nice review and I think you hit on all the points of this release. As for the cover box art, I believe that is how the GM unit moves as it creeps towards the Zeon base.
@@UCRDReviews I don’t think it’s possible to hold the beam rifle like that in episode 7 where it gets blown away. Looks like only two fingers are on the handle on the box pose. It’s comes close enough I think.
I never noticed the gundam hammer in 08th ms team, interesting stuff. I'm definitely planning on getting one of these soon. Also, you mentioned the regz custom. I've seen some pictures from people who've got it and it looks great. I'm excited to get mine, although I'm a little worried. The last metal robot spirits I got, the wing gundam zero, came with a cracked v fin and a warped section on the ear part. Heard about some similar issues with the hazel custom. Hoping my regz arrives okay because that was expensive lol
The hguc version of this ms came with a net gun and the same type of bazooka that comes with the option parts 01 set. Would rather have either of those things over the gundam hammer imo. The hguc does lack the beam rifle tho so that's a bonus for this.
Thank you for reviewing these Gundam‘s, they have been a very great help for me due to my blindness. Only issue I have with this one’s description is how to store the weapons on the back and a little tiny piece that I have no idea what it goes to, but everything else and many more of your videos have helped me discover many functions of the ones I have collected so far.
That little tiny piece is probably the weapon storage. There is a small rectangular piece that plugs into either the Beam Rifle or Machine Gun and the larger peg plugs into the back hardpoint that is underneath a panel in the rear skirt armor! Thank you for the kind words! I try to be very descriptive for everyone! Sometimes my reviews run a bit long because of that but I feel like it’s a good point of reference if people ever lose their instructions
I found the hole for the hard point, by the gods no wonder I couldn’t find it it’s so unnoticeable. I think that might be a complement to the makers that they designed a piece, so well it’s so easy to mess where to put things on.
I’m wondering if you ever discovered if there’s an extra fit from another model to attach the shield to the wrist like many of the other mobile suits do, or if there’s some small set that has an extra one that can work with this one to attach the big shield to the wrist.
Isn't the square hole for the missile launcher included in The Earth Federation Force Weapons Set? The MS 08th accesory pack also comes with a Missile launcher, but I bet we will get a new mount, because the new missile launcher has a round hole too big for the previous mount.
When I started collecting this line this was a mobile suit I hoped they would eventually make. Easily one of my top 3 favorite gm’s. If I had one problem with it, it would be its shield. I wish it was just blank and had stickers for the different numbers. Other than that it’s exactly what I wanted from it.
@@UCRDReviews with its current set up this figure and the ground gundam aren’t capable of representing the other 6 teams that used those units. I thought they would have rectified this issue with an option set, but it seems they’re probably done with 08th ms team now.
Nice review! How does the color of the GM compare to the Desert Ground Gundam? They look like they'd make a neat set. As for future releases, I'd still like a 08th Team edition Dom. Tweak the colors a bit, give it a Zaku machine gun, a new torso port/effect part for the beam cannon flash--I'd buy it!
The backpack attachment piece has a little bit of an L shape to it and cannot attach. I believe the rectangular peg is also oriented different too. I’ll make a community post about it

So many fond memories with this suit from the old Federation vs. Zeon game. Glad it got the ver anime treatment.
I loved that game. I think I played it over and over for years. Now I just play Battle Operation 2
you should be able to take a little heat to the stress mark and it will go back to it's normal color
That’s good to know. Thanks!

It’s holding the gun awkwardly like they didn’t place it in the hand very well when they took the picture

Yeah QC issues are ridiculous but hopefully both of ours arrive in good shape
I think it was a 06th team ground Gundam carrying it but I could be wrong.

I’m still having trouble figuring out how to get the sub machine gun, and or the beam rifle to attach and holstered on the mobile suit,

Like to mount it to the backpack like it does on the GM Sniper Custom?

I agree. A blank shield or even just an alternate blank front piece would have been cool

@@UCRDReviewsanother reason I wished we had a blank option was because I can’t display it as a generic unit with its more iconic shield. :(

The tans colors are different but they do go together pretty well
U can store the bulpmachin gun an the gm rifle from gm custom on its backpack
I have 2 ordered I hope theu come soon.
Woah!
Love gms…
I can get the Ground GM and Ground Gundam for $130 after shipping and tax. Thoughts?
That’s pretty good! I would go for it
@@UCRDReviews it is tempting
We could include a vehicle, or a container backpack, or more effect parts, or many other things. NAH LETS GIVE IT THE WEAPON NO ONE EVER WANTED
At the very least it’s something that was in the anime. But they gave it to the wrong MS
I swear I saw someone attach the shield to the backpack. Is the hole too small to just plug it in?

Awesome! 👍
Prototype RX78 had the hammer if you have that one.
I do not unfortunately. I will one day
How do you remove the hands?
I just kind of bend them at an angle and they’ll pop off the joint. They’re sometimes on there pretty tight
What kind of angel? Up,down,right left?
@@ryankuniyoshi96825 you can bend it at any angle. The goal is to try and get the ball joint to pop out of the hand socket
GM army type
