The robot-themed action figure series "ROBOT魂 ver. A.N.I.M.E.", released by TAMASHII NATIONS, the collector's toy division of Japan's BANDAI SPIRITS Company, today announced the commercialization of the "GM Sniper Custom (Jaburo Defense Force Specification)" from "Mobile Suit Z Gundam". It is scheduled for limited sale on PREMIUM BANDAI in early August.
During the One Year War, to counter the mass-produced "Zaku II" mobile suits of the Principality of Zeon, the Earth Federation Forces urgently mass-produced the "RGM-79 GM (Early Production Type)", a mass-production model of the RX-78 Gundam. However, to pursue cost-effectiveness, it was made with inferior materials, and its performance and mechanisms were greatly simplified. Some ace pilots were dissatisfied with the GM's performance and demanded improvements. Finally, after the Battle of Solomon, a small number of "RGM-79SC GM Sniper Custom" units began to be modified. This model not only possessed performance comparable to RX-78 Gundam-series mobile suits but was also equipped with a dedicated high-output beam rifle, capable of performing sniping and escort missions.
・The regular release "ROBOT魂 GM Sniper Custom ver. A.N.I.M.E." launched in 2017.
The "ROBOT魂 GM Sniper Custom (Jaburo Defense Force Specification) ver. A.N.I.M.E." is based on the previously released regular version, utilizing a new color scheme to recreate the Jaburo Defense Force specification that first appeared in the "Mobile Suit Z Gundam" anime. The main weapon, the high-output beam rifle, has also been changed from the regular version's "R-4 type" to the "L-3 type". Detailed product information will be announced at a later date.
