Alongside the standard release MG Gundam F91 Ver.2.0.

This kit is the MG Gundam F91 Ver.2.0 (Afterimage Image Color), released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. Compared to the standard release MG Gundam F91 Ver.2.0,the molded colors have been changed and wet decals have been added. The white armor is molded in milky clear, and the gray frame is also molded in clear.

This kit is based on the imagery from the final battle in the theatrical anime "Mobile Suit Gundam F91." It represents the phenomenon where a mass-bearing afterimage remains due to the MEPE effect. MEPE (Metal Peel-off Effect) refers to the metal peeling effect that occurs when the mobile suit is forcibly cooled. This is a clear version that expresses the "double image" effect — where metal particles generated by MEPE in maximum operating mode trail behind the unit like an afterimage.

Since this is simply a clear version with no new sculpts, all the features and accessories are identical to the original kit. In this review, you really just need to take a good look at the updated clear visuals — and it still shows excellent quality as an F91 with the structurally improved stability you'd expect from a Ver.2.0. Clear versions can sometimes feel stiff and tight to build and pose due to the harder material, but this kit uses a somewhat softer milky clear type plastic, so it actually came out feeling smoother than expected. Cleaning up the gates is less of a hassle too, and there are no major issues with assembly or articulation.

It's really meaningful that the semi-transparent, afterimage-leaving F91 from the anime — blazing through scenes at high speed — has been brought to life in plastic form like this. If you like the style and visuals, this seems like a kit worth recommending even to folks who normally shy away from clear kits because of the hard material. :-)
