HGUC GM Review

Yay, finally got myself a classic GM kit! 
It's a simple kit, with just 2 plates to play with.
Just cut all the parts and snap fit them, and the GM comes to life! Just kidding! =P
This is a good kit for beginner if you want to start Gunpla, it's very easy to build and won't leave deep scar on your wallet. Articulations are pretty much what you would expect from a classic - LIMITED. But, for a HGUC, it's acceptable. Equipment wise, the GM comes with 3 things: Beam gun, shield and a beam saber handle. No clear beam part for this. And I didn't bother to waste my time on the "chopstick" that came along with this, I just leave it stuck on the plate and sealed it in eternity. However, I do know that the new HGUC GM II comes with 2 clear beam parts, which is great. So if you're rich enough to spill extra cash, I suggest you get the newer GM II instead of this. I won't be getting that, though, for I need to control my budget to save up for my trip next year. Tsk tsk tsk. Overall rating: 7.5/10. Had much fun when building this. Below are some shots taken with my phone. Sorry for the amount of "noise" in the photos. Enjoy!

The great thing about GM is that Bandai gives you clear piece for the visor!!! Love it!

Fully armed

It could actually reach the saber handle.
The beam gun is just 2 pieces of small parts snapped together.

007 much?

Balance is pretty good

"I sensed the presence of Sith, time to draw out the beam saber!"

"Eh? Why won't it work"
*Hint* Stingy Bandai.
