The white and red energy pack section of the beam gun wasn't separated into individual parts, so I did some partial painting there.

Just like the colony type, it comes with an additional action open hand (left) and a beam saber gripping hand (right).

Articulation. Decent enough.. The ankles are fairly flexible.

Feels just a little short of pulling off a kneeling-fire pose..

Beam saber action (the unpainted hand is a bit of an eyesore though;;)

Together with the colony type. The body itself is 100% identical in structure — just a color variant with different molded colors.

The colony type and space type do differ in backpack and weapons, though.

GM Command Colony Type/Space Type and Cold Districts GM — the trio of GMs.
All three GM kits from the 0080 OVA are highly recommended with excellent quality and great value for money!

Following the GM Command Colony Type, it was only natural that the Space Type would be released as well. In terms of lore, the Space Type only differs from the Colony Type in its backpack and weapons — the body is 100% the same, making it a molded color variation kit. So the articulation, overall look, and structure of the body are identical twins with the Colony Type.

First off, the molded colors on the GM Command Space Type are something else.. The white parts are incredibly pearlescent. It's the most lustrous white I've ever seen on any Gunpla — it's almost blinding. In photos it'll just look bright and white, but trust me, in person this white is the absolute pinnacle of pearlescence. I've never seen a white molded color this shimmery before. It's truly the embodiment of pure white. Combined with the red, it shows off a really vibrant and gorgeous color scheme.

One minor gripe is that the energy pack section of the beam gun — a weapon exclusive to the Space Type — isn't separated into parts to match the design colors, and there's no sticker for it either, so it ends up in a dull, flat color. It's supposed to look cute with that white and red pattern. So I just did a quick partial paint job on that section.

Just like the GM Command Colony Type before it, the Space Type is a clean kit with excellent detail, appropriately stiff joints, and solid articulation. As with all the HGUC GM series kits, the quality-to-price ratio is outstanding. And the Space Type's exclusive backpack — a rare sight — gives it just an eeever so slightly more unique feel compared to the Colony Type's backpack.

Either way, the value for money and overall satisfaction are top-notch — it's the HGUC GM series after all, so I'd recommend it without hesitation~!!
Especially recommended for anyone who's into beautiful, pearlescent molded colors. ^^
