Editorial Review

Thanks to big clunky feet and incredible articulation, the RX-79(G) Gundam GM Head action figure will stand no matter how you plunk it down, even when leaning awkwardly to the side or perched with its legs spread apart. The figure is detailed right down to the pattern on the red soles of its feet, stands 4.5 inches tall, and is articulated at the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, waist, legs, knees, and ankles. Made of soft gray plastic with dark-gray accents, RX-79 has much bigger legs and feet than arms and hands, but can still easily grip its weapons, which include two blaster rifles, two pink light sabers, and a tiny blue and gray shield. RX-79 also comes with a backpack that has straps which loop through its shoulders, although the figure isn't quite as steady on its feet when wearing the backpack. Best of all, most of RX-79's many parts can be snapped apart and then mixed and matched with other similar figures. The only problem: once you start the dismantling there had better be a kid around to show you how to put this poor guy back together. --David Morel ... Read more

One of the best UC action figures
This is a good action figure as it demonstrates how alike the Gundam(G)and GM(G)are alike.It is also educational by just figuring out how to put the backpack straps on(well only if you don't look at that picture).It's durable as long as you don't take the limbs on and off alot.Then they start to fall off if you touch them.I also like how it does not come with to many weapons.Except that I would of liked to have a missile launcher and 180mm cannon.Even if Karen never really used them.

A Gundam Collector
This is one of the best figures made for the 08 ms team series.The gm head figure is very durable if you're a person who likes to play with there figures this is the one for you.It is incredibly durable i've dropped off of my dresser counter etc.And it has never broken.This is the perfect figure to play with.It is not much to look at alone but if you have the rx-79(g)gundam and the ez8 it is the final edition. So if you like to play or display you should buy this gundam figure.

Sick'em boy
This toy is fun to play with but you have to be careful or it'll break.I think it's educational because you can put it together and and take it apart so if you get any kind of model you'll be able to build it quicker.

This toy kiks ...
This toy rule its so fun ...

It's the imfamous GM Head *Snicker*
So here you have the imfamous "GM Head". Only if you watched the 08th MS Team would you understand that this is more of an insult than a title. Where Karen Joshua's RX-79's head was destroyed in battle, there was nothing to use but a Gundam Mass Production type (GM) head. (NOTE: GM's were not near as powerful as regular gundams because they were mass produced) This is not something she's necessicarily proud of.

Anyway, the toy itself is a lot of fun. I still play with action figures and I'm *counts*... 14 years old. Bottom line, its a Gundam Figure, so of course its fun.
Education?! I don't really think that Education should be one's criteria when choosing a toy, but if you must know, Gundam figures help you learn robotics, so :P
Durability: Most of the figure is made from a PVC-like plastic, so unless you try to cut it with garden scheers, don't worry about it breaking. I would be a bit carful with the joints, as they are made of standard plastic, and could break if handeled with absurd roughness.

All in all, if you liked the 08th MS Team OVA, and actually KNOW what the GM Head is, then this toy is great for you.
Just as a side note though, it looks a lot cooler if you've also got the rest of the 08th team (RX-78(G); RX-79(G) Ez8). ... Read more

Whoa... Another decent model...
When I recieved this model, it started out like any other basic gundam model. It was plastic, not built, and of course, didn't look like the model on the box art. But if you were really into this hobby, you would just say this is exactly what I've been expecting and wanted. The Kampfer is a little rarer then the other HG (High Grade) models you'll find (due to how cool it looks :P) but if you get a chance to get it, you'll have fun building it. The weapons are extremely cool, but are not the best in fitting places on the gundam. This is like all Bandai Gundam models though, so you'll have to get used to it.

Once this model is built, it'll look like a cheap light blue crappier version to the model on the box. But one of the ideas in building, is painting. After you painted this (I did mine in black and white) you see that it looks cooler then the model up front. I think it's well worth the cash, and well worth the time once you see what you built.

Colors are all wrong, man!
It's supposed to be a deep, dark blue. But no, they make it some turquoise-kinda baby blue color. Bazookas are too small, the guns make the hands explode inside out, and how the heck are you going to stick all those little holsters onto twelve-year old jetpack(yes this model IS twelve almost thirteen)??? All in all, a must-not-buy

soooooooo good
Ok folks ive been building gundams for quite a while now so here goes my review of this kit.

the first thing youll notice is....ICK its not colered right X_X i dont really care though as it still looks kool but certain modelers will wish to paint it...the whole thing -_- . But the beauty is the WEAPONS! u get 2 shot guns 2 bazookas 2 panzer faust missles and a chainmines whip however this is also the reason i gave it 4 durability... the weapons do...fall off of the backpack but dont for the love of god super glue them...as u wouldbt have access to the bazookas but meh. anyway yes its a good kit for anyone...... SIEG ZEON! ^_^ ... Read more

Needs Alot of Work
I wanted to get a 1/144 Alex, and at the time this was the only one out. For the price it is worth it, but to make it look good, the model needs a lot of painting. It's doesn't even have eye stickers.

if your wana work buy it
well this model realy does look like crap if you dont paint it and work on it. i have bean a gundam fan for a very long time and out of all my models which is about 30 in culding a pg this one is my favorite, but i spent a lot of hardwork painting him and i also did a ton of weathering. if your a begginer i wouldnt buy this kit if you want your gundam to look cool with out paint. oh and it basicly onley comes in two colors blue and white. hes also a good kit to practice a new technique you might want to try but dont wana screw up one of your good models.

don't buy
Don't buy this gundam. It is horrible. It breaks so easily. Not meant for play (duh). It has parts that don't fit on. The pieces break so easily. Don't buy. It also looks bad. ... Read more

Hail Zeon!!
Hy Gogg is Zeon's amphibious Mobile Suit from Gundam 0080. It's a detailed reproduction of the actual thing from the movie, but it's not cast in all of the colors, so paint is required to help it look like an actual reproduction of the one from the movie. A little modeling glue helps, but isn't absolutely nessecary. In my opinion, building the figures is the most fun part, and doing so helps one learn to be careful with the parts and in some cases, painting skills, but this thing will NOT survive a fall from a shelf, desktop, TV set, etc. This shouldn't be reccomended to anyone under 12, or someone who lives with one under 12. The floor is every model's worst enemy.... =P

This is the coolest mecha design in the gunam universe
This item was reviewed by Diablo 15: I got this last week and it is awsome! Though if you don't have red, gray, and black paint I would not recomend it. It dosn't look good without them because it would be missing the gray between the arms the red cooling units and the black around the eye. Anyways I would actualy call this a level 1 or 2 because, being a reletively old model, it is simply constructed and requires paint. It has a number of nice options for the arm such as claws in different poses and missles that fit between the claws. You can also put him into streamline for underwater manuverability. The only complaint I have is that the body falls apart easily. But over all it is a nice model and adition to any gundam collection. ... Read more
