You can actually mod the front handel to move just by using ur nippers

Fun Fact about F91. Initially F91's goal was to set a new precedence for smaller Gundams to ultimately cut down on plastic costs for the model kits. However manufacturer didn't foresee that this would mean new tools/molds and less ability to reuse old molds on the new smaller proportions. That would ultimately prove to be more expensive then what they would end up saving on plastic. I do love the lore justification for this. As beam technology advanced in the years after the One Year War, basically a beam shot was going to destroy a mobile suit if it hit, regardless of the armor the suit was wearing. As such it became more tactically sound to make smaller, faster mobile suits to not get hit.

As an owner of one of these, it’s literally the smallest thing you’ll have on your shelf and it always stands out because of it.

I was wondering about this guy. I have a small goal of collecting all of the flagships. I'd definitely get this guy.

YAAAYYYYY That Gundam the origin walkin behind was the best XD

"For something so small, and for something that's 8 years old, it's still aesthetically very impressive.." ..FBI FREEZE.

6:07 If you want better hands, just get the build hands square and round. There are 3 different sizes, 3 different styles, and 2 pairs of each.

The handle on the beam rifle is movable it’s just that is molded into the rest of the rifle like any other part of the runner. As soon as you cut it it’ll be moveable

Mecha. I am still waiting for you to do your Top 10 Biggest and Baddest GUNS in Gundam.

I have this little kit on my collection as well. For a gunpla that is cheap, while it may be small but with its weapons loadout, F91 still stands out among the 1/144 scale models. I highly recommend it as well.

Apparently this thing isn't 1/144 scale. It is a few millimeters taller than it is supposed to be

Man, seeing the HGUC F91 next to the RG Crossbone just makes me really want a RG F91

This model kit was given to me by my middle school teacher and i'll never forget building it on a good ole saturday

ngl finding gunpla models right now has been a STRUGGLE. Everything is out of stock or overpriced :(

F91 is my favorite Gundam. After images are so cool. I hope we get more HGUC kits from F91, I’d love a new HGUC Heavygun.

Painting this kit was extremely hard due to the size, but totally worth it. One of my favorites Also, VSBR stickers are still holding after three years

Mecha is one of those KZfaqrs who's sponsors are just so damn fun to watch because of how unique they are

If I recall correctly, the f91 is small by design in universe as well. I bought one and painted it like the f91 imagine from build fighters

Careful with the VSPR when you swing it to the front, you could snap the joint in half

The swinging joints on the vespers can be delicate and prone to breaking be careful

Tip: the 2nd handle of the beam rifle is designed to be cut off and sandwiched between the white parts so it can be rotated side to side

For anyone wondering, because he didn't show it off, yes, it can hold the VSBRs in hand when they're deployed. Also, the stickers for the VSBRs ain't bad. They look fine when on.

My 2 favorite kits, F91 and Mudrock. Don’t have the HG F91 yet, but have the MG 2.0 of it. My ideal custom is mixing the 2, currently waiting on stuff to come in.

Say Mecha, if you have a HGAC Wing Gundam or Wing Zero, maybe check to see if their saber effects would fit better. They're the same shade of green as F91s so they should look right at home.

The MG of this kit is amazing as well.

i'm pretty surprised you didnt compare it to any Wing HG kit for the size.

You can actually actually cut the grip on the beam riffle. It's molded to accommodate this mod.

So I noticed you said that the second handle on the beam rifle can't be moved side to side, but it can. You just need to cut it out. I know it dosen't say so in the instructions but the white cover will hold it in place.

This is literally my favorite HG of all time

F91 is my favorite Gundam. I remember very happy back then seeing my boy HG in the store and at a discount price too

I have this kit on my shelf i loved it the build was fun and it looks amazing the only problem I had with it was the wing things snapped off one of the hinges that allow you to swing it around and make the f91 use it i glued it and it works still

This is an awesome little kit. Painted in some of the extra yellow details with a gundam marker and it really looked nice with that amount of detail in such a small size. Since I've heard the VSBR hinges are easy to break i filed the pegs on both sides so they move more smoothly and won't break as easily (just like the GEP zeta shoulders). I love how they've shrunken down the engineering in this kit - the pair of polycaps in the shoulders is so simple but effective and the way the VSBRs swivel from the back to under the arms is really cool

I love these old gunpla reviews because it shows how old kits compare to modern standards. Still waiting on the rg freedom, hgce strike freedom, hg 00 raiser and hg 00 qant

From all of my HG kit this is one of my favorites because of the design, the size and posses.

So, Is that Prototype Dom Review on its Way or.... Also, speaking about The Origin, Guntank Early Type absolutely needs to be Reviewed!

F91 is my favorite Gundam. Reminds me of the car designs coming out of japan in the 80's.

I recently built this and the RG Crossbone and i loved them

I built that kit around the start of the pandemic and still love it to bits

The handle actually CAN move if you take off the white plastic you could snip out the handle and put it all back together

I love F91 and i love this kit too! Thanks for the great work, man!

2013 is barely considered old IMO. Most kits from late 2010 (earliest) is still new IMO. 0:57 😱 That's a lot of stickers. Honestly, this HGUC is impressive for what it offers; especially with how small the kit is. However, if you're a fan of this series, I would suggest the MGs. Specifically... * Retail * - MG F91 Gundam F91 (Ver.2.0) * Premium Bandai * - MG F91 Gundam F91 (Ver.2.0) [Afterimage Image Color] - MG F91 Gundam F91 (Ver.2.0) [ORIGINAL PLAN Ver.] - MG F91 Gundam F91 (Ver.2.0) [Harrison Madin Custom] Subsequently, there's also: * Premium Bandai * - MG F90 Gundam F90 - MG Mission Pack E-Type & S-Type for Gundam F90 - MG Mission Pack F-Type & M-Type for Gundam F90 - MG Mission Pack B-Type & K-Type for Gundam F90 - MG Mission Pack O-Type & U-Type for Gundam F90 - MG Mission Pack D-Type & G-Type for Gundam F90 - MG Mission Pack I-Type (Jupiter Battle Specification) for Gundam F90 - MG Mission Pack R-Type & V-Type for Gundam F90 - MG F90II-I Gundam F90II I-Type - MG F90-2 Gundam F90 Unit 2

Looks like a good one for customizing

Mecha needs to look at his Moon Gundam, and revive Zakus to see that he has seen trigger finger hands like that before.

If you take apart the beam riffle you can cut out the secondary handle and the white part will hold it in, so technically it works with a little bit of work

Finally! side by side with X-bone Gundam in size. :)

I really love gundam F91 especially the music (Eternal Wind) one of the best music in the gundam franchise so far.

I remember asking for this kit to be reviewed, thanks for doing it!

Absolutely love this little kit such a great build! You should build up a hguc the o!

I always viewed the alternate face as a Gundam mustache.

Actually quite surprised the HGUC F91 is so good, I've had kits from 2013 like the HGTB FA Gundam Thunderbolt ver. and it definitely wasn't that good imho. Also unrelated question, but will you be taking a look at Bandai's 30 Minutes Sisters line when it comes out?

My first time getting this kit was a clear version I picked up at a convention i absolutely love, I loved it so much i grabbed a second normal copy to do an after image display of him. however as I was warned the arms that hold the back guns are very very thin and fragile so be careful when rotating them around to the front. other than the structural integrity of those parts its a great amazing tiny little kit and well worth it, especially if you get a couple of them for after images.

Yes, one more step towards the hg g-savior review 🙃

This kit is great but be careful with the tiny pieces that hold the VSBRs on the back. They are easy to break when sliding them around.

yoo Gold Tier, Imma save up for that

This thing is beautiful. It's just a step behind RG, even, which makes me rather excited for the possibility of an RG f91

please Bandai, release the RG version! it'll be great pair with RG Crossbone.

2 guns on the head 2 bigger guns on the chest 2 beam saber 2 beam shield 2 vsbr and an unusual face vent that became his signature attacks, the afterimages attack. for a small machine, it surely packed with lots of armament

I love the design of the F91 I just wish they gave it a proper story/anime

I have the Harrison Maddin version of the HGUC F91 and yeah its an awesome little kit. It naturally comes with a much larger sticker sheet than the original F91 due to the amount of yellow stripes all over it, but painting it was the way to go.

Fun tip. The rifle handle can become movable if you cut it. Yeah the f91 was part of an initiative for all gundam project where it featured ground breaking features at that time, those features still used today for better or worst.

I built this kit a couple of months ago and I love it! It's a small boy for sure, it looks so tiny next to my Unicorn Gundam and Zeta Gundam but it's very well made.

Would you consider reviewing the HG sengoku astray? Im recently back into these build fighters kits again, some of them are just damn impressive

Hey it's my 2nd Gunpla kit! Love this thing.

I wonder if this kit would be a good pickup for someone who adores the Core Gundams for their high articulation in a tiny package

i got this way back in 2016 when build fighters got me back into gunpla

Still waiting for RG F91 (OG and Harrison)

I got this last year, wanted to see your review before I did but I didn't find it lol. Came out great, same beam saber problem and now they are even worse, but the rest is great, specially good to pose with the rg crossbone

Love F91 as my 1st exposure to Gundam. I remember buying the SD version for the very 1st time when I was still a little kid and then got the HG version when I got back into Gunpla when I was in mid-20 something.

Bruh, i dare YOU, @Mecha Gaikotsu find a Gundam M91 if there's still one, don't ask about the stickers hahaha

I wish there were more reviews for G-Reco and AGE kits if we're going for older kits.

F91 is one of my favorite Gundam designs, I have the clear hg, both MGs and M91

long before Seabook became a space pirate himself he fought against said space pirates.

Huh I just finished this kit like yesterday. It's old but the VSBRs work surprisingly well. I expected them to be way more finicky but it moves into place, extends and deploys the handle really nicely.

One of your F91's thighs may be inverted, specifically the F91's right thigh. there's a small smooth nub near the knee section on the thigh armor that's meant to face outwards to the side. Can't fault anyone for overlooking this though, it's hard to see this detail in the first place.

I was literally looking at shining Gundam and F91... stop stalking me

You should try out the HGUC Loto Twin Set its quite the great tinny somewhat customizable transformable hg with surprisingly high color separation for a grunt suit

It's funny that the HG's ankle joints has better articulation than the MG lol. Still, I love my F91 MG, might pick up the HG after this review

Hey Mecha, I have the F91 and you can make the beam rifle's second handle move by cutting it out. It's a neat little trick!

I'm actually waiting for this

Woah. I just realized that saviour is actually the better "MK II" design

LoL I've been trying to convince you to review this for years because it was my fist kit (also you forgot to pull out the handles on the vespers and the handle on the gun can move you just need to cut it out)

one of my favorite old hg kits. mine didnt have that beam saber issue. the beam part on mine was pretty snug.the only thing i hate is that bigass blue sticker. it could have been a seperate color part. on a side note, how much is the dog hair? XD

The Maddin Color i had has an even fragile VSBR connection point and the VSBR handle also broke on me because of extensive movement and how thin the connector point was. If you want to buy this or the normal colors version, please be careful on moving the VSBR or working on the VSBR handle!

I like the touch of bringing in the master grade for comparison. I'd love to see it in future reviews.

I had a 30 year old one of these on my desk at work. It was older than some of my coworkers. Back when it came out it was a little bit tough to accept the idea of a beam shield. I wouldn’t put too much into the size. Bandai got a creative with scale. The next series was even worse. Nice kit you got there.

Hey, Mecha. If you still like IBO kits, I suggest you pick up the Thrones trio and the Arche Gundam. They are basically the gundam frames of Gundam 00, and since the mechanical designer is the same as the Barbatos's and a few other IBO gundams, it feels like they were ahead of their time.

No way this kit is ten years old!? God damn bro it slaps I need it so bad!!

Please talk about why most gundam always have 2 strips in it's mouth,im just wonder why😆

be careful if you rotate the VSBRs on the track too much! I broke one of them on my M91 :(

I've been waiting for this review for so long... thinking of getting it...

Ah yes, my first Gundam

Btw the beam effects i use blue tack a tiny wee bit and it doesn't budge at all not even a droop it stays in there

It's been Two years I had this hg the black and standard version man this kit is solid the joint didn't loose just like other hg

Yeesss lovin these throwback kit reviews 👍👍

Yessss this is what I'm waiting for thank you!

Built this recently and it feels like a modern kit for sure

The f91 is such an interesting gundam imma buy it or not i cant decide hehe

Has anyone else ever noticed that the Heat-Venting face of the F91 bears a striking resemblance to Iron Mask Carrozzo's... well, mask?

Rip me, the leg of my entry grade Gundam broke.

You can modify the 2 handle on the beam rifle to it moves side to side
