MG GUNDAM F-91 Ver. 2.0
Finally received the new F91 in the mail a few days ago. While a bit small in the MG scale line, this kit has a lot of neat features packed in . I like that Bandai two sets of heads, one transformable and the other parts-former. While the kit looks great visually, I did have some problems with a few parts not fitting together closely, and later needed to glue them together. The kit does have a nice gold trim that fits into the inner frame of the Gundam. The stand provided can be used in conjunction with LEDs for a great lighting effect (although it doesn’t light up the eyes). Overall, not as drastic of a change as the MG Freedom 2.0 was, but still some nice changes made nonetheless. Kit review and build details following the image gallery. Enjoy!

- “Old School” Gundam look
- Lots of details to panel line
CONS:
- Some pieces didn’t fit closely together and needed to be glued
- Stand provided looks great with lighting, but has no articulation
- Owners of the 1.0 may not see drastic improvements visually with this kit
- Articulation in legs and feet (back of the feet) is a bit lacking
- Back skirt tends to fall off a lot
