    If there's one thing that keeps us going--no matter how underwhelming certain Gundam announcements are, or how much traffic there is on the way to work in New Jersey, or any number of other downers that happen in the workaday life--it's that the GM Sniper variants are on the rise. Thank goodness someone at Bandai has such a deep appreciation for this family of mobile suits. Please keep making them forever.

    This GM Guard Custom is a variant of the GM Sniper Custom, and now it's joining the Mobile Suit Discovery series of obscure kits crafted with the same brilliance as the Origin high grades! Not only are the color scheme and mobile suit design stellar, but this thing comes with the most over-the-top huge shield we've seen on a kit, along with a beam spray gun and 2 beam daggers! We love it!

      Another great GM

      This kit proves again that the ‘Gundam the Origin’ line has some top notch engineering. The dark blue and white colors give the kit an almost ‘police officer’ vibe, which really stuck out to me. The color separation, great articulation and nice decals really make the price point seem more than fair. If I had to make any kind of complaint it would be how the shield is held. Although the huge shield looks really cool, the back part of the hand likes to pop off from the wait of it which can make posing it a bit of a chore. All in all though it’s a great little kit. If you like what you see then you won’t be disappointed.

      Iffy Price, but Very Nice

      I'm not crazy about the price of this model, but the design is super rad, and the amount of decals this thing comes with almost gives it a RG vibe.

      The articulation is surprisingly good, and the only thing it really needs is a lot of clear coat on the joints for the torso, wrists, and waist, but on the whole I'm VERY happy with how mine turned out.

      If you really wanna go the extra mile, this thing looks real nice with one of the builders parts riffles, because he looks a little silly having that huge shield and teeny tiny beam spray gun.

      A must have for the origin collection especially if you are a fan of the GM sniper design.

      The RGM-79HC GM Guard Custom is a MS design based on the GM Sniper Custom design with the idea of fleet escort and base defense in mind. This kit comes with a beam spray gun, 2 beam daggers like that of the Pixie gundam, and a guardian shield with two built in mini guns to fit the defense theme going on. The articulation is better than other HG kit due to it being able to take a knee and I am loving the lowered down head visor display. Compatibility with other kits are based on the parts and for this kit it is mostly focused on the arms and backpack parts. The hole slots on the arms to installed the beam dagger can be used to equip a standard heavy shield, but unable to equip the arm mounted mini gun from the Gundam full scale development type due to size difference to connect. The standard 2 thruster backpack has two slots on both side to equip parts from other kits such as the beam saber holders or a shoulder cannon. The hands are compatible with most weapons from other kits so far and I recommend the 0083 RGM-79 Type C kit for the Machine gun, Bazooka, and the blue standard federation large shield as a starter upgrade. The cons so far is the limited weapons it comes with by default and the stickers require tweezers and glue to set in place.

      Holy Shield, Batman!

      Before this kit, I didn't take much notice to GM's. After this kit though, I have a newfound appreciation for them, especially due to their simplicity. For someone who's just getting into Gunpla, this would be a fantastic kit to get. Strong joints, amazing flexibility, the only real problem it has is keeping the shield stable. Simple hand-painting in place of the yellow foil stickers is recommended, as stickers that need to be folded into multiple crevices just don't ever do that well. Will DEFINITELY want another one in the future!
