Mobile Suit Gundam F91, HGUC F91 Gundam
The HG 1/144 F91 Gundam kit from Bandai is a great representation of the mobile suit from the 1991 movie Mobile Suit Gundam F91. As an HG (High Grade) kit, it's aimed at modelers who are looking for a relatively simple yet detailed build, with good articulation and accuracy to the source material.
Here’s a breakdown of the accessories that come with the kit:
-
Beam Rifle – The standard ranged weapon for the F91, this is a compact, sleek design typical of the "crossbone" style of beam rifles. It's a nice addition that gives the kit a more dynamic, militaristic feel.
-
Beam Launcher – The larger, more powerful weapon used in the movie. It has a unique, bulky design, and it's a standout piece that adds a lot of character to the F91 Gundam.
-
Two Beam Sabers – Essential melee weapons for any Gundam! The F91's beam sabers are simple yet effective, and they add to the versatility of the suit in battle.
-
Beam Shield – The F91 Gundam is known for its beam shield, a high-tech energy barrier that can be used to block attacks. It’s not only iconic to the design but also adds a lot of action potential for display.
-
Grip Manipulators (Left and Right) – These parts are used to help the F91 hold weapons or adapt to other accessories. They offer more posing flexibility and contribute to the Gundam’s ability to interact with its gear.
-
Rifle Grip Manipulators (Two) – These are meant to hold the Beam Rifle securely, adding realism to the way the F91 Gundam is posed while wielding its weapon.
The HG F91 Gundam is a fun build that offers a good mix of classic Gundam features and more unique elements from the F91 movie. Its design blends elements from both the UC and Crossbone timelines, making it an interesting piece in any collection.
