Ball and GM (RB-79 Ball, RGM-79 GM) MSiA - 25/11/02

This two piece set is good value for money, giving you two for one. The ball is obviously a pretty basic toy. The two arms are fully articulated, with a nice range of movement. The same goes for the gun on top, which has full 360 degree rotation and tilts up and down. The detailing on the whole toy is very nice indeed - nicely coloured and covered in mecha stylings.

After the Alex I was at first a little disappointed with the GM. However it is actually quite nice. Structurally it is accurate and nicely done, retaining the 70s look without failing to look cool. Like the Alex it's limbs all detach etc and the single saber comes out of the backpack, though the backpack doesn't come off. There are two verniers on the backpack that are detachable and can be adjusted. The main posing flaw comes in the skirt armour. It's one solid ring so the legs loose a lot of articulation. You can still get some nice poses but there's no where near the range available on the Alex. It comes with one lit saber, which is a bit more rounded and simplistic than the Alex's, and it comes with both the beam spray gun and the machine gun, which fit nicely into the right hand (which incidentally only comes as a rifle hand and doesn't hold the saber well, which the left does). There is also a nice shield, which again has some holding problems but does attach to the backpack. Overall a good pack but not model kit standard or anything.
