Released at the end of 2017, the GM Sniper Custom was a great way to end the year for Gunpla builders. It's similar to the excellent MG 1/100 GM Sniper II kit from earlier in 2017, but with new armor and backpack, as well as additional accessories and weapons. This kits has excellent range of poseability and balance, and will hold action poses flawlessly. Sometimes I just want a MG kit that's not a Gundam with a huge backpack with 50 moving wing and funnel parts. There is a design elegance to the simplicity of the grunt suits, and this GM Sniper Custom checks all the boxes that define a great model kit.
