1617 - MG Gundam F91 Ver.2.0 (OOB Review)

- Here's the Master-Grade 1/100 scale Gundam F91 Version 2.0. A very solid MG kit checking all the boxes. The gimmicks however, which are usually the icing on the cake, are where this kit kind of falters a bit.

Thanks for watching!
funny that the F91's face open gimmick looks uncannily humanoid which unintentionally creeps some people out while the Crossbone Gundam's face open is intentionally made to look horrifyingly menacing as it looks almost like its an open mouth with rows of sharp (glowing) teeth to the point in some of the manga panels it was used as a jump scare to the enemy pilots.
Vust Valeo it looks like an old wrinkly face lol not the good kind
spoopy scary skele-dam
Damn, that is one long sentence.
autobots face
I've always been really big into the sleeker surface detail and grills everywhere on the F91. I feel like it gives it a nice "muscle car" aesthetic.
I get that!
I believe the suit designs in the movie are based around actual real life cars
@@fabianrojas7577 That explains why the F91 is my favorite Gundam ever!
For me it resembles gills , especially moving ones , they feel like they're about to breathe .
Overall I get strong 3rd angel from Evangelion vibe
In the movie it throws that extra shield as a decoy
dreamyrobot end him rightly but with a shield
sheild graniede
It was sort of thrown like a giant beam shuriken.
in games like gundam vs gundam, the extra beam shield can be also used as booby-trap since it just floats in mid-air after tossing.... a very obselete attack tbh....
I love the little sound clips you throw in.
"You have to pay $20 extra WOW."
I love this design! The movie was good but I really wish this could’ve been a full series!
Unless wiki is lying to me, it was supposed to be a 50 something episode series, but then it got cut to like 6 OVA's, then cut again to one movie. With the way they're treating Unicorn Gundam as the new "main UC series" starting point as well as retelling Gundam in the Origin movies, maybe they'll make a F91 series like it originally supposed to be.
You did not bend the knee as far as it would go, it goes farther. You pull on the leg and a swinging joint comes out allowing extra room for the leg to bend. Why is everyone missing that? lol
Have you built this kit? Because you pointed out a thing which really affects my decision on buying it.
This guy pointed that out too, but I just need some confirmation since his channel is not very big.
Here's the clip: ua-cam.com/video/ukmBVdu6Chc/v-deo.htmlm38s
Yup I bought it, and loved it. One of my favorite master grades to be honest. One of the best out of box looking kits IMO (with panel lining). And yeah, whenI get home tomorrow I could take a pic for you for how far the knee can go (and the mechanism at work), But yeah the knee bend is not as bad as everyone says, you just need to pull out a swing joint to get it :P Which is a fine compromise for the sweet opening vent gimmick in the calfs.
As Zaku said, it has very small parts, I lost one vulcan to the alternate head(no big deal, heh) so be ready for that. and if you want an LED for it, personally I'd say either make your own or get some here: www.modeltrainsoftware.com/collections/hobby-leds Cheaper and more discreet than the huge block they give you for the official one (and the light would look WAY better blue)
Oopsies!!
Sono haha, a confirmation is enough for me. I gonna get this kit tomorrow and thanks for your advice about the led.
This comment needs to be pinned
I love the overall look of this kit. It seems to capture the original line art really well. And then up close it has all those details worthy of an MG.
I like how you've started to put more personality and editing into your newer videos
Something many don't talk about in reviews is the fun factor of the build. Not sure why but this thing was incredibly fun to build. It was super satisfying and I couldn't tell you why.
6:03 Seabook used that beam shield against an enemy to serve as a decoy.
I like the simple change on the background. Great review! Very cool kit but it is weak from the knees down, but still not bad.
The F91 1.0 was pretty good for its time. Ahhh my favorite gundam hands down.
As someone who has both the original and this F91 I can honestly say that the best and biggest improvements for this kit were in the lower half. The legs of the original F91 got reused for all the MG crossbones so they're both very basic and not exactly sturdy.
(I'm definitely modding the LED stand part onto the Rafflesia though.)
Nice kit. Will likely be among my first MGs.
Just bench watching your old videos chilling
18:54 "the La Vie en Rose" base lol
Eli Zhang, you know what, now I want a La Vie En Rose base
Would be cool if we get 2.0 of Crossbone Full Cloth.
Crossbone un-katoki'ed
Defnitely!! There is gonna be a metal build version of X1, X2, tamashii 2018 X3, limited full cloth and finally MG X1 2.0, X2 2.0, PB X3, PB Full cloth...... 2019 somewhere..
The original MG F91 kit was made of a lot of ABS parts. The lower legs in particular were very slim so dropping this kit can sometimes break the legs. It's one of the reasons the MG Crossbone has a more robust inner leg.
Great review. Thought of skipping this since i have both the first version, ended up getting it because it is my second favourite gundam design
I think the part separation of this kit is great, but it’s for very small details and it was a pain to build. The two guns from the back are also finicky to get a good pose on. Also the v-fins are prone to fall off so I recommend just glue them on.
Waiting for that Harrison Martin PB variant to get this, but I never noticed the shape of the chest/waist before and its actually really cool from that angle. I think reading Gundam Crossbone made me appreciate the F91 and its gimmicks more.
Brendan Dougherty That's not official. Bandai has yet to give an official go for a Harrison Martin version.
Very much had the same happen to me as well. F91 and Crossbone really suffer from being downplayed by bandairise, but at least we’re slowly getting more and more kits. A crossbone anime will probably keep being teased for eternity though.
IT LOOKS SO BADASS!
I haven't got a MG gundam yet and hate small pieces but I may consider getting this 🤔🤔
13:38 - Language, young man! *scoffs*
He's a rebel. And edgy. I'm happy it's used so little.
Forgot the extra waist crunch gimmick from moving a part in the leg connector to unlock it.
Oopsies!!
SOO CLEANNNN!!!! **insert spongebob quote ( I NEEEED IT!)
When I was building this kit, I almost lost the clear piece on the head that has the big(ger) blue foil, luckily my brother found it :)
Funnily enough the 1.0 has a transforming head gimmick that works differently but results in the entire upper half of the head coming off a lot more than it should so in every way, the new transforming head looks much better and more solid. Even the Metal build has that nasty seem line down its face. I sure as hell plan on buying this at some point as I absolutely love the Gundam F91.
You can also slides the back piece of the VSBR back in high speed mode
Damian Nguyen I too noticed he missed that part
I guess I'm going to have to raise my hand and say I like the transforming head. Same reason I like transforming the MG unicorn it's just a fun play feature and in this case it's optional. The stand looks a little rubbish though. Also looking at the LED's I really wonder if it would be easier to just make your own from some hobby story stuff and watch batteries?
Its not quite easier but its cheaper. I put blue LEDs in an action base for a MG Vidar. It has two lights and a built on battery pack. All was less than $10 and I still have stuff left over. I used Ebay to get parts from China and they are super cheap. $4 for 10 lights, $2 for 10 batteries, $2 for a battery back, and just a few bucks for wire. Anything Bandai sells with an LED can be built cheaper.
For a bigger size, Bandai made the 1/60 F91, which was part toy, part model kit. It was 10 inches tall, so it was just a head shorter than the 1/60 scale original RX-78 Gundam!
Bandai started "half sizing" with the F90 Gundam. The 1990 1/144 scale kit used the same size box as the 1988 1/100 scale RX-93 Nu Gundam. That larger box held accessories to build 3 versions, including a "Guncannon". Bandai later made 3 other separate versions: F90-P (wave rider), F90 II-L (ship destroyer), & the F90-V (predecessor to F91).
F90Y was a more retooled version with a core-fighter.
The point of the transforming head is that it faithfully replicates how it transformed in the movie. Bandai wanted to show that they can. No Unicorn kit has faithfully recreated its head transformation yet, but I don't think anyone cares lol
i own this kit and i have to say the only parts that have a prob with me is that the butterfly joint in the arms are a hard plastic and mine broke off (and no additional parts for it), luckly cement or super glue can fix the job but its brittle
legs can bend way further than that but when they do they kinda have to shoved back into place for the legs to go straight again
(this is prolly my kit in particular but) the bazooka mounting on the back skirt DOES NOT like to connect it and stay and the arm on the left side pops off the shoulder joint.
other than that, its a seriously beautiful kit and the only area you really "need" panel lining is the face cause the rest of it looks amazing and id only recommend to people if they like the f91 and can deal with tiny parts that you have to snap into place vs peg on
This is basically the F91 Ver.Okawara, which looks GREAT! And it will look good with the upcoming RE Vigna Ghina!
This IS basically what Okawara did in his lineart. Now that's accuracy at its finest.
That's exactly what I said in the unboxing video :)
I know most people hardcore in the hobby swear by painting the whole kit, but I guess I'm just lazy because I prefer to snag the ones that already look great in plastic but just need some panel lining and such. And this kit looks amazing for that approach.
One of the nice Gundam from the MG series 👍
I was thinking of buying this one and the GUNDAM F91 VER. 2.0 BACK CANNON TYPE & TWIN VSBR so that I could add the backpack with all the wires to this one.
The secondary handle killed me 😂😂
4 years later... same 😂
Toes point straight down. They have a slide-out mechanism
The rafflesia base was cooler for sure probably gonna get the original as well just for that and use the original f91 kit for a kit bash
#Zakbackinblack
Secondary handle pops off
Tries again, pops off
Tries again,pops off again
TRIGGERED!!!
ayy the black backdrop is back ! I much prefer the black to be honest
Nice review man
What material are the backdrops?
I’m a big fan of this MG
One thing I'm wondering, if the kit is so small in the series, how does the pilot fit into that tiny cockpit hatch? Looks really narrow to me.
Got this kit
Transforming head looks like a Michael Bay transformer head.
Pass! Michael Bay you suck. That said great review and adding this build kit to already displayed Metal Build F91
Well you just removed all doubt as to whether the face is disturbing.
the extra shield emitter is used as a grenade.
Wow..... I am gonna buy that
The other shield is thrown and detonated.
It's shown in the show and in the Gundam EXVS/VS series
Well, the thing is that it takes up less shelf space :p
Look at all those heat sinks/cooling fins, this thing must be hot (pun somewhat intended)
where do you buy the bases that turn the Gundam around?
Built this kit recently, and the runner C had very brittle parts where the shield parts for the right arm broke on me. I guess I just got a badbatch there. Unlucky
Awww. If only I had more in my wallet, cause this kit looks fiiiine. Although weird, like the unique design of the F91, like its chest and back pack, though do still prefer a more classic look
About the transforming head....imagine a MG Unicorn with NO transforming gimmick build into it and you need to swap every single armor to transform it.....I bet you'll like it.
That’s different though because it’s the whole Gundam. This is one small part, the head, and its easily swapped on the non-transforming head.
That's the main feature of the F91, and the old one does transform but in different way. Nowadays people asking a lot for bandai and you definitely can see that. I don't care that head either but I see some people really like that extra transforming head so it's not a completely trash. Plus the Metal Build also has the exact same thing going on with the head.
Use diff backdrops for diff kits white kits like the F91 really pop out in the video with a black backdrop
what kind of batteries does the led unit use?
The lower joint in the knee extends giving the kit more of a knee bend.
I thought the lights of the LED for this would be in blue when I found out that the clear parts were in colorless clear.. I guess I will just paint mine in clear blue (florescent clear blue if those exist) and not bother getting the LED unit..
DespairBilly use less clear blue when you thin it to get a lighter/brighter color.
Do a 2.0 titanium finish review as well as for the vigna ghina extra finish!!
To be honest I really like the gimmicks of the kit
You forgot to pull the back of the Variable Speed Rifle things... it's a bit of an auto-transformation when you do that!
I already have the old MG so I probably won't get this.
I hope tr13 makes a custom of this
the only thing that disappoints me about this kit is the F91 logo. I would have liked it to be a molded detail like on the HGUC kit. but at the very least they should have included multiple options for the decal of the logo since there are about three different versions of the F91 logo.
Does the F91 shoots lasers when it opens its mouth?
Well dont really need the F91 sticker on the shoulder because it does not have that marking in later half of the movie lol
Lit!
cracks me up when the tube asks to translate new language
Zaku you can pull the foot down further but it is tight. The second shield was used where he threw it and shot it to blow it up. Also the thighs have a problem where it splits at the top thats because of some plastic on the inside piece thats supposed to sit on top of the hip joint is too big so just snip it off or sand it down and it should be just fine.
ConvictedSauces the trick is pushing the piece the ball joint snaps into further into the upper leg. I had this issue at first. I took off the armor and noticed a gap between the grey parts and it snapped in deeper. No more armor separation!
Dan Timmerman the 2.0 doesnt have ball joints and its not the grey parts that seperate its the white thigh armour parts
ConvictedSauces peg......ball joint........whatever. It's a connection point that needs to be pushed in further so the armor snaps together.
Dan Timmerman it goes in as far as it can and ive seen it in this review and mechas, the armiur is still seperat slightly
ConvictedSauces I've got photos of it. I do not have this armor split problem anymore.
To bad they downgraded the beam shield effect part, the old version was nice with it fading to clear at the center.
I wish to point out that to get the 2.0 onto the action base from the 1.0, you have to either mode the 2.0 to fit on, mode the original's action base, or make an action base connector. It's really annoying honestly.
where to get the LED unit?
Can u pls review the HG 1/144 F91 Gundam?
Does the F line mobile suits have a thing for transforming heads? Cause the F97 aka crossbone gundam has a gimick with it's face like it opens its mouth or something lol
GUNPLAyer 1 Yes, they're used has part of the cooling system of the suits
Cooling system for bio computer(aka not crazy zero system)
I try to not imaginr how small this kit in Real Grade
Ri Sawaragi they probably would just scale it up like the hg tbh
It would be the same height as the RG wing gundam that are also 15 meter tall mobile suits.
I meant wing gundams
Are you getting the PBandai Woundwort? I would like yo see you review that.
Yep! More than one!
The design gives me an airplae vibe
Will have to give this guy a pass but would jump at the chance for an MG Gundam m91. Really love that design
haha that secondary handle.
I'm kind of confused with the legs. Everything else is solid and I adore it, but the legs.. Seem pretty eh. Shallow bend, toes can't go back. Honestly everything else on it is fantastic, so I don't see why the legs didn't get that extra bit of attention to move possible poses better.
Actually, despite their kinda lack-luster articulation I think the legs look quite nice. while building the kit it wasn't until I built the legs that I really started to like it.
According to this guy, F91 has 3 joints at the knee section. Can you confim this ZakuAurelius?
And he points out some very good point about the toes bend too
Here's the clip: ua-cam.com/video/ukmBVdu6Chc/v-deo.htmlm38s
Well first and foremost I never said the legs looked bad. I just said the design choice for articulation seemed lackluster, compared to the rest of the suit. As a whole the 2.0 looks great, though in a way I don't really see why we needed a 2.0 F91, but I'm not going to deny how the suit looks. So let's just clear that up right here.
Though Kim Long pointed out something I haven't seen any of the reviewers I've watched push on, and that's the addition of a pull out joint for the leg. Which entirely changes that prospective for me. That makes it look a lot better, but I'm confused as to why the 2-3 guys I've watched never even mentioned it. Slackers!
Yeah, me too. I have watched like 3 reviewers talking how bad the legs are and that Dadee guy just came out of nowhere, changed my perspective.
Now, all I need is some confirmation, if it's so, I may consider buying this kit.
Shinjiji ankles actually swing back a little and the toes will drop even more.
so it's worth learning wiring a bit to put your own custom led instead of the pricey led unit they put?
Yeah, you could easily rig something similar up yourself for a fraction of the cost.
They have wireless aftermarket now. Even.
Anyone knows why the crotch could extend?
i want to know
According to this guy, F91 has 3 joints at the knee section. Can you confim this ZakuAurelius?
Here's the clip: ua-cam.com/video/ukmBVdu6Chc/v-deo.htmlm38s
I like the over all design of the F91, except the face...
I wish it had realistic human nostrils (with vulcans).
Parts-forming is annoying because of the extra parts you more often than not have no clean way to store on the completed kit itself (not every kit comes with a storage-capable stand after all).
Do you people not keep the boxes?
im only disappointing on f91 hands kinda i really dont like it...try to use the standard hand the movable ones but too large for it.. and the f91 humanoid face looks awesome heehee..
That kit looks like a ver 1.5 to me based on the minimal addition to the kit.
kyle imperial when it's completely new, and won't have the stability issues of the 1.0 I wouldn't say it's the best way to describe it
Multiple bups intensifies
Bups?
ZakuAurelius yeah the toad noises when the handle kept falling off of the gun
Just as the Vigna Ghina is the Ferrari Gundam, this one could be..... the McLaren F91 Gundam.
(rg)... What? (rg) Who said...
GIMME A FUCKING RG
does a crossbones rg indicate f91 ish rg to come?
Why cant they make the F91 signs in plastic mold? Bandai is going cheap on us.
Imagine how nightmarish an RG F91 would be to build
A man can dream of an MG M91, or even conversion parts would be nice
edit: also was a no light shot of the LED in action too much to ask for? :(
Metal build's transforming head was engineered league better than this and came out a year before it, it is even anime accurate because you don't even need to open up the sides to retract the face plate(The option is there but it is so smooth so you don't have to)
Trevor Ho in terms of overall design, this version hits all the right accuracies. This is basically Okawara's lineart given form.
The head looks real weird
...you switched backgrounds?
He says it in the first 10 seconds you absolute walnut.
ItsDrafty Obviously the implication is that I didn't realize it had changed to gray in the first place you complete almond.
The movie might be pretty garbage but god damn does the F91 gundam look good. It's got the sleek coolness of classic american muscle cars.
*Clap clap* Gundam! Review!
