A prototype model of RGM-79 GM with shoulder cannon equipped from the Mobile Suit Gundam: Cucuruz Doan's Island film was on display at the Gundam Next Future -TOKYO BASE- exhibition on September 29th, 2022, suggesting that the kit was in planninh stage.
The color scheme was also based on its orange color scheme that was seen during the conflict in Casablanca, Morocco, in the Mobile Suit Gundam: Cucuruz Doan's Island film.

The Origin GM FINALLY gets it's time to shine.
ReplyDeleteHopefully we'll get the Missile Pod version down the line, and then we'll at long last have our perfect Origin basic GM after all these years!
Yes! We can finally have what we wanted for so long! Especially since they have not made a revive version of the gunpla. This will be the closest thing we will ever get to it. At least in lore they have the core block system.
DeleteANOTHER P-Bandai kit.... Bandai sure does hate international customers aye? Pretty much impossible to get anything P-Bandai in Australia without paying 3x retail.
ReplyDeleteNot a fan of the origin "early type" look. Clashes way too much with the MSD designs which are just updated MSV. Would've been nice if they did what they did with the Origin Gundam and included parts to make it a "production type". Then again Bandai seems to hate anything GM until recently. Still not MG GMIII or any kind of Aqua GM. Hell an updated revive GM, GMII and GM III HGUC would've been really cool too.
