Description
The HG 1/144 RGM-79C GM Type C (#113 in the HGUC line) is a High Grade plastic model kit released by Bandai in August 2010 (August 7 in Japan, with reissues continuing under Bandai Spirits). It recreates the RGM-79C GM Type C from Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory — the mass-production successor to the RX-78-2 Gundam during the Delaz Fleet conflict, used by the Earth Federation Forces (EFF) in both standard green and Titans black/white variants.
This snap-fit kit (no glue required) features pre-colored parts for excellent out-of-box accuracy, sharp molding typical of late-2000s HGUC, and solid articulation for its era. It stands approximately 12-13 cm (about 5 inches) tall when assembled, with a balanced, classic GM silhouette—making it a compact, reliable addition to any One Year War or 0083 collection.
Key Features & Armaments
- Beam Rifle — Standard EFF beam rifle with detailed scope, folding stock/grip, and energy magazine; posable for handheld or slung poses.
- Beam Saber (x2) — Stored in backpack recharge racks; includes clear effect parts for glowing blades.
- Shield — Large forearm-mounted shield with EFF markings and inner structure; mounting points for beam rifle storage.
- Vulcan Guns — Head-mounted; posable covers for firing.
- Articulation — Good range for HGUC: ball-jointed shoulders/elbows/hips, double-joint knees, and flexible wrists/ankles—supports dynamic combat poses, rifle aiming, or shield blocks.
- Manipulators — Multiple hand parts (fists, weapon-holding, trigger fingers) for versatile gripping.
- Details — Sharp panel lines, thrusters on backpack/legs, and authentic GM Type C scheme (green standard or black/white Titans variant via color molding); foil stickers for markings, panel lines, and accents (no waterslide decals standard).

This kit is a classic for 0083 fans or those wanting a modern take on the GM Type C—its clean proportions, solid engineering, and versatility make it a great base for Titans customs (e.g., black repaint) or pairing with HGUC GP01/GP02 for Delaz Conflict dioramas. Builders often call it "the definitive HG GM Type C" for its accuracy and value. If you're after the Titans black/white variant specifically, many builders do simple repaints or use aftermarket decals, as the kit itself is the green EFF version out of box. Let me know if you want tips on customizing it for Titans colors or other 0083 kits!
