The GM II Semi-Striker from "Mobile Suit Gundam UC (Unicorn)" makes its way into the HGUC series as a 1/144 scale model kit, perfect for collectors and enthusiasts looking to recreate scenes from the movie. Featured in episode 4 of the OVA, this modified version of the GM II boasts increased armor and a unique design that has been faithfully reproduced in model form.

This kit captures the distinctive design of the GM II Semi-Striker with new molding that accurately captures the new body structure. The changes include enhanced shoulder armor, a fixed shield on the left forearm, and leg armor with additional thrusters—all made with new elements that highlight the mobile suit's tough and battle-ready design.

One of this model's most famous characteristics is the dual beam spear, a well-known hand-to-hand combat weapon. This spear not only has a movable gimmick that allows for dynamic posing, but it also has beam components at the tip that can be used as a beam saber, giving it more display choices and increasing combat realism.

The GM II Semi-Striker is precisely colored using molding colors that mirror the original colors shown in the OVA, ensuring that the model looks as similar to its on-screen counterpart as much as possible.

The model has three primary weapons: a dual beam spear, a beam rifle, and a shield, allowing fans to fully equip the mobile suit for any scenario. This model kit is an excellent addition to anyone's Gundam collection, as it captures a crucial component of the "Unicorn" plot.
