When hearing GM, many people probably think of a simple, mass-production machine-like style. What allows you to enjoy such a familiar unit in a more heavily armed appearance is ”HG 1/144 GM (Shoulder Cannon Equipped / Missile Pod Equipped)”. The biggest highlight, as indicated by the product name, is that you can choose between the Shoulder Cannon Equipped State and the Missile Pod Equipped State. Even the time spent wondering, ”Which specifications should I display it with today?” will likely become part of the model-playing experience. While retaining the atmosphere of a GM typical of a mass-production MS, the impression can be changed depending on the difference in equipment, making it an interesting kit even for those who want to thoroughly build a single unit.

It is a welcome specification for those who say, ”I’m interested in both the shoulder cannon and the missile pod,” and in this product, by swapping parts, you can reproduce each equipped state. The interesting part is that between the appearance equipped with a shoulder cannon and the appearance carrying a missile pod, the impression received from the silhouette changes even for the same GM. Rather than enjoying only one fixed completed form, you can choose the style according to your preference, so it has the charm of making you want to move your hands even after completion. You can think of your own way of enjoying it, such as trying to change the equipment when taking photos or selecting according to the image of the unit to display.

Not only the choice of equipment, but also the point that armaments are substantial is noteworthy. Beam Rifle, Hyper Bazooka, etc. are prepared, and hand parts are also included, so you can devise how to hold weapons and posing. And what is interesting is that the Beam Rifle, Hyper Bazooka, and Saber Rack can be attached to the rear skirt. Rather than simply holding a weapon in hand, you can enjoy even the state where unused equipment is attached to the unit side. If you choose armaments while imagining ”Under what circumstances will this GM sorties?”, playing unique to an assembly-type plastic model will deepen even further.

I want to add a little more detail feeling, not just complete it with plain assembly. What plays an active role at such times is the attached marking sticker. In this product, plastic model original marking stickers designed by Mr. Hajime Katoki are prepared. By adding markings to finish it up after assembling the unit itself, the fun of looking at the finished product will also increase. Consider the combination of armaments, decide on the pose, and finally adjust the atmosphere with markings. The point where you can savor this process in order is also a point that model lovers cannot miss.

This product is a 1/144 scale assembly-type plastic model, PS/PE are used for main product materials, and the target age is 8 years old and over. Choice of shoulder cannon and missile pod, abundant armaments, weapon attachment to the rear skirt, and original marking stickers, it is characterized by multiple ways to enjoy being packed into a single GM. If you are a person who says ”Precisely because it is a mass-production machine, I want to be particular about differences in equipment” or ”I want to complete my favorite GM”, you should be able to enjoy it for a long time up to subsequent equipment changes and display, not just ending with assembly. It is an HG kit that allows you to enjoy the depth of the unit called GM from the angle of armed variations.
