Why it matters
Both kits are Premium Bandai items that cannot be purchased at retail stores handling plastic models, so the re-release is the channel through which these two Earth Federation sniper units reach buyers again.

Its shield bipod is movable, so the shield can be posed alongside a sniping stance. Equipment from the Ground GM, including the 100mm machine gun, beam saber, and shield, is also in the box.
The GM Sniper II comes in the personal colors of Rido Wolf, an Earth Federation ace pilot who appeared in Mobile Suit Gundam: Strategic Tactical Encyclopedia and later in games. Its long barrel sniper rifle supports a kneeling shooting pose, and the kit works with a separately sold action base.
