F90 ガンダムF90


 Gundam F90 is one of the less popular Gundam but it has a special place in my heart.  I spent many hours on the Super Famicom Gundam  F91 game, in that game, 80% of the time you are actually using F90 and you only get to use F91 at the very last stage, and that gave me plenty of time to get to know about this Gundam who has multiple equipment set and eventually learned to love it.

 The kit I got is the G-Generation A,P,V type.  In the official story, F90 has 26 weapon set from A to Z(!).  But even with just three he's got all the basics covered.  The play value of this kit is ridiculous, just look at all the parts!

 F90 from the front.

 The blue beam saber looks nice, I used some stickers for the chest and skirt, so lazy.

 Beam Rifle, this is the spring loaded weapon for F90.  Also notice the shield can be mounted on the side of his arms.

 F90 from behind, the gray clips are suppose the attaching point for different equipments.

 Parts for the A(Assault) Type.

 This is also the first equipment you use in the SFC version.  it's suppose to be use for long range travel.

Didn't bother to paint the back, it's suppose to be white in the center.
 
 Beam Bazooka, it's just a weapon for show.

 P(Plunge)-Type, this equipment is used for entering the atmosphere.

 This is primarily a safety equipment, so the only extra weapon is the machine gun pod on the left shoulder.

 The right shoulder is the radar.

 P-Type from behind.

 Take off the head, and you can transform into the fighter mode.

 Fighter mode from behind.

 I keep thinking the cockpit part is reversed, but I guess that is not the canopy, as the pilot should be sitting inside the robot.

 V(VSBR)-Type.

 V-Type has a bunch of fin heat disperser.  And the machine gun on the side is also a nice touch.

 Beam Shield.

 V-Type from behind.

 VSBR equipped.

 But the main weapon is till the Beam Rifle.

Even with all the fancy equipments, at the end of the day, we are still relying on the good old Beam Rifle.

And a powerful one at that, it knocked the dummy down.

武神頑駄無 Bushin Gundam

Today we are going to check out Bushin(Martial God) Gundam.  He is really not a god, the name Bushin is more like a nickname.  He is also the first Chinese warrior character in the BB senshi series, well technically Musha Zeta is also Chiense, but he has converted to the Musha style so he doesn't count.

 Bushin's arsenal, closer range weapons, bow and arrow, spring loaded weapon, armor, AND a shield.  Pretty much you name it, he's got it.

 Bushin from the front, I used a darker green on his shoulder and hair and it didn't turn out well.

Bushin from behind.  Oh well, the color will not be visible once he wears the armor anyway.
 Bushin no Yoroi(Martial God armor).  It seems like Bushin's armor doesn't have any special force behind it, it's just a plain old armor and weapon he gathered together.

 Bushin Gundam, fully equipped mode.

 The big sword seems to be his main weapon.

 And you can remove the top and it becomes a hidden sword.


 Crossbow, this is one of the few weapons that use arrow headed missile.

Hajya no Yumi(Evil's bane), this is the bow they use to help the first general to get his power.
Love the reflection on his horn.
 Time to try the crossbow out.

It was surprising easy to aim, I was hoping the bullet would get stuck in the dummy's chest tho.

Musha Hyakushiki 武者百士貴

 Since I already got my hand on Musha Gundam, I might as well just get all the cool samurai I used to be fond of as a child.  Today we will check out Musha Hyakushiki.

 Unlike the other Musha, Hyakushiki does not have a light armored mode.  However, this kit comes with extra parts so we can choose to put it together as Hyakushiki or his younger brother Hyakimaru.
The weapons are the three katanas, two shoulder mounted blades and two spring loaded guns.

 This is one of the VERY FEW kits that has a fully plated body.  Which makes taking pictures a bit difficult.

 Hyakushiki from behind.

 by switching the head, shoulder armor and chest plate......

 We get Hyakimaru!  Of course, painting is also needed, but you will need an extra kit for that.

 I like Hyakushiki better, so I will keep him this way and let him inherit all the weapons.

 The two guns can be combined and for a double rifle.

 Hyakushiki's katana, Monohoshisago.

 This set of dual swords originally belong to Hyakimaru.

 Shooting range time.

Lately I am finding these guys difficult to aim.  Humm........
