BANDAI SPIRITSBandai Hobby HGUC Gundam F91 Action Figure

I'll start off by talking about this kit's only big flaw - the big blue stickers on the back VSBRs. They're big, they're annoying, and they don't look good.Getting off of that, this kit is great. It's got all the points of articulation you'd expect from a modern HG with even more range. The color separation is good and the kit is mostly accurate, aside from a few small details. It has a good amount of accessories that all work well - a beam rifle, a beam cannon, two beam sabers (and effect parts), a beam shield, two faces, two sets of hands, two sets of shoulder vents, and the VSBRs. These, along with some cool extra features of the kit (opening thrusters on the back of the leg and transforming VSBRs) allows for a lot of options and variety with this kit.My only other complaints (which are pretty much nitpicks) are that the different shoulder design they went with (reversing the positions of the polycap and the ball) makes the shoulders a bit less stable, and that the kit is off-scale. No, I'm not saying it's too small - I know this was a smaller mobile suit - I'm saying it's too big. This kit is about 4.625 inches tall, which is definitely on the small side for an HG kit. However, the mobile suit is 15.2 meters tall. Shrunk down to the 1/144 scale this kit is supposed to be, it would measure about 4.156 inches tall. That means that this kit is about a half inch too short. To put that in perspective, that means that if this kit was enlarged to 144 times its size, it would be about 1.83 meters taller than the actual F91. That's about the height of the average person.I don't personally care the scale, despite what the above paragraph might make you believe. Even if you are a scale nut, with some posing, the inaccuracy won't even be visible.Overall, if you're a fan of F91, this design, or just good HGs in general, get this kit. If the problems I described really get to you, then you might be better off with another kit.

The F91. This HG is plain awesome. I personally like the F91 design and its model HGUC rendition does not fail to represent it.Pros:+ Great articulation+ Exceptional color separation of parts+ comes with a lot of accessories and weapons+ Well balanced+ it is real easy to build+ Handles its weapons fairly wellCons:- it is small, very small (though I didn't mind this as I expected this. However, this could be a turn-off to those who already have a hard time building 1/144) the F91 is much smaller than many HGs.Verdict: there's hardly anything wrong with this kit and being a HG, it exceeded my expectations. I recommend grabbing this kit definitely for those starting out and fans of the F91 alike. There's almost no excuse in buying this kit since it's very affordable (bought it at $11) and incredibly simple to build.

Update: Good value but laughably small compared to the other HG and RG models next to it! The HGBF Denial and RG 00 Quanta dwarf it.---------------------Not the most complicated HG, but it has a lot of sprue runners. And a really cool translucent green shield and beam saber.Lots of Gundam white pieces, so panel liners enjoy! There really were some great lines - especially the legs and arms. Looks great finished.A couple of wonky steps - mainly the "2x" steps because you have to build two legs and two arms, but then you finish each slightly different, so you have to make sure not to do the whole thing twice or you end up with two left feet!There is an attachment for the energy shield, you basically remove the arm attachment that is in the steps and put in a raised arm piece. This way the shield doesn't hit the shoulder armor.The overall effect is amazing for an HG - the combination of colors, the green accessories, the rear fins, and especially the highly detailed guns (they look amazing all lined in), all combine for a great and dramatic Gundam. Worthy of posing on an action stand! You will need black, brown and gray Gundam markers for panel lining (there is a lot of visible dark gray so you actually do need black for this build).Highly recommended for beginners to advanced Gunpla enthusiasts.

the HGUC F91 is a nice kit. Retailing at $13-15 it offer a nice value inside the box. This kit has plenty of accessories being the beam bazooka, two beam sabers, 1 clear beam shield, and beam rifle. On the F91 itself are two beam cannons that slide from the back down under the arms, and pull out to display handles for the F91 to hold. Articulation is great with no limitations besides the standard skirt armor that gundams have.Though i will say that after some years from my purchase back in 2015 or after, the polycaps on the kit have loosened and even cracked/ripped on me, i would advise that you should sand around the male pegs that slide in the polycaps, and add a very thin layer of super glue to cure inside the holes where the polycaps sit and rotate. Painting wise, the kit does need some paint touch ups on the suits armor and some seam removal too.Though after all that, you may have a nice small kit with some work involved to be future proofed for play and display.(I hope bandai changes the polycaps materals to that soft polystyrene used on new kits, that would make a world of a difference)

Even though I haven’t seen the movie “Mobile Suit Gundam F91” I’ve always loved the design of this suit. The Crossbone Gundam is one of my favorite suits so I had to get the predecessor to it. For an HG this kit has a good amount of gimmicks and is a pretty quick build. I love how the back vents on the legs can open and close and the back canons open to reveal gun handles. Also the two face options are nice but, I’ll be sticking with the standard Gundam face.Pros: cool gimmicks, sturdy build, high amount of poses to perform.Cons: lots of small details to paint.Ps: don’t judge me yet on this kit still a work in progress lol

Love the design of the F91. Build is fun and the finished product is well worth the price.
