So uhh, here it is, my review of the HGUC 1/144 F91 gundam ( harrison custom) review. It's been awhile since I've updated this blog and I'd like to begin my review with this neat little kit. Construction wise, it's kinda different than your different 1/144 construction. It actually feels like a new series build even though it's from a UC series line. Construction wise most of the torso, and leg parts consists of small parts mostly. Sticker wise, THIS kit has a bunch of stickers mainly everything in yellow except for the yellow parts of the feet. And the downside of these stickers, every sticker requires to be folded and be overlaid together. So if you're not painting this, these stickers will absolutely start peeling itself overtime. Articulation wise, it's much more articulate than your standard 1/144 and can even be compared itself as close to RG articulation I think. Equipments for these items, I'd say I am impressed, since most of these equipment can be equipped into suit itself. I will give a detail explanation with pictures.
 |
| The equipment you'll get with this kit, 2 beam sabers, a beam shield, an extra face for the after image mode, extra fins for the shoulder parts to swap into after image mode and 2 extra closed fists. |
Hand articulation for this kits. the hands can go inward a lot which you rarely see any other kit do like this, You can force it even further but it will pop out of the socket.
And it won't go outward any much than you keeping it straight up. which is kinda ok I guess.
 |
| Has a very weird elbow articulation, You can even have the hand fold backwards which is kinda weird why bandai would leave out having some sort of tab to prevent this. |
 |
| Elbow and knee movement, up to maximum. |
 |
| Shoulder and leg articulation is at the max with this kit. Even the side skirt doesn't hinder the legs from doing splits. |
 |
| The VSBR rail to deply the rifles. Very well done despite it being a very small kit even for a 1/144 scale. |
 |
| A swivel point at the connecting point of the rifle and the pegs |
This kit also adds a small part for you to store the mega beam cannon without any problem, and it won't hinder articulation much other than the VSBR rifles if you want to swing them out.
Behind each of the legs, there's a three flap mechanism for you to use in case you intend to pose it while doing the After image mode, or not. The only weird part is that the top two of the flaps are kinda hindered a bit at an angle while the bottom flap can go all the way to the top to point of it touching the second flap.
Replaceable fins on the shoulder for you to change into the after image mode. A very simple mechanism for to switch them out, just pull it out of the shoulder since it's held together by a friction of a rail.
Shield is also just a part swap away, easily removed. Also the part where you attach the beam effect parts is detailed with pistons so you can easily give it a bit more of detail on that, although you won't see it much.
As I posted earlier the modding of the rifle handle lets the F91 to be able to dual hold it. Has a green sticker for the scope.
Now this is my favourite part of the kit. Bandai actually made head assembly easy for this kit especially the face swapping part. The helmet and the face are hold by a small peg in friction so I guess it'll make painting the head part very easy just make sure you don't over paint the peg until it can't fit in the slot.
Some mediocre poses for this kit, I could pose it on top an action base but I felt not to with this since it can hold on itself with having everything out and still being stable.
Yes I tried posing it with everything on and have it standing on one leg, and still lasted very long without showing any signs of it tumbling over.
Well that's all for today, I'll probably post up a review on the Gundam throne eins tomorrow or the day after.
