When the missile pod is attached, you can't plug the beam sabers into the backpack —
in that case, you can store both of them in the rear skirt instead.

A total of 3 hand types are included.

HG Origin GM (Shoulder Cannon/Missile Pod) - Together with the Club G releases HG GM [Sletter's Unit] and GM (Morocco Front T

Together with the Club G releases HG GM [Sletter's Unit] and GM (Morocco Front Type).
They're all basically the same base body, but the head, chest, and shoulder designs along with the shoulder cannon follow the Morocco Front Type configuration.

This kit is the GM (Shoulder Cannon/Missile Pod) from the Gundam The Origin HG series. It's the first general retail Origin HG kit in three years, and it's a different package from the previous Origin HG GM. It's based on the Club G release HG GM (Morocco Front Type)with the molded colors changed and additional weapons included.

The shoulder cannon that came with the Morocco Front Type has been joined by a newly sculpted missile pod, so you can now choose between the shoulder cannon configuration or the missile pod configuration. New weapons have also been added in the form of a Hyper Bazooka and a beam spray gun, and combined with the existing weapons, the overall armament lineup is incredibly generous.

The basic structure is the same as the 2022 new-tooled HG GM — the Sletter's Unit and Morocco Front Type — so it delivers excellent articulation and solid joint strength just as you'd expect from a modern kit. It's turned out to be a top-tier action model that's easy to pose and holds its positions well.

With best-in-class articulation and a packed weapons loadout, this kit offers outstanding value. Being able to get the latest GM base body as a general retail release — rather than a Club G online exclusive — is a nice bonus in its own right. Either way, this is a truly exemplary HG kit that I'd recommend without hesitation to GM fans and Gunpla fans alike. :-)
