The shoulder joint strength isn't quite enough to hold the weight of both weapons horizontally.
In the photo above, I had to twist the shoulder joint 90 degrees to force it into a horizontal position.

This kit is the MG Gundam F90 N Type, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. Unlike most previous releases where only the Mission Pack was sold without a main body, this time the body and the N Type Mission Pack are bundled together. The included body is Gundam F90 Unit 2 (Rollout Color), which has its accent color changed from blue to red.

So everything about the main body is the same as before — just pay attention to the changed molded colors. The only new tooling on the body is the backpack's beam saber mount, which was redesigned to accommodate the N Type Mission Pack. The MG F90 body still delivers excellent articulation and solid joint strength, and it can stand stably even with the large N Type Mission Pack attached. The connection between the body and the N Type Mission Pack is also nice and secure, so it holds together without any major issues through various poses.

The N Type Mission Pack includes a backpack that transforms into the Hull Fighter, plus the N Type exclusive beam rifle. On top of that, a black action base for displaying both the Hull Fighter and the main body is also included. The N Type exclusive beam rifle comes with six hilt panels attached, which can be detached and used as beam sabers. The nose section on the underside of the backpack can also be detached and used as a shield, and you can mount all six hilt panels and the N Type exclusive beam rifle onto it as well.

With all these different ways to use the shield, there's plenty of room for creative action poses. You can also use the included joint parts to combine other existing Mission Packs with it. The manual and promotional images show examples using the B, E, and G Type Mission Packs, letting you build NB, NE, and NG Type configurations by combining two Mission Packs. In practice, it's compatible with pretty much all of the Mission Packs.

Actually, the N Type wasn't part of the original Gundam F90 setting — it's a Mission Pack that was first revealed in a comic serialized in the October 2020 issue of Gundam Ace. The "N" stands for "Next," signifying a Newtype spec. With even this once-secret N Type Mission Pack now released, every letter of the alphabet except X, Y, and Z has now been made into an MG. It really feels like the A to Z Project — which promised to release every Mission Pack — is finally in its final stretch.

Anyway, as an MG kit it's excellent quality, and the big draw is being able to use it as a base body for combining with various Mission Packs. If you're collecting the F90 series, this is obviously a must-have, and even if you're not a collector, it's still a pretty fun Gunpla worth picking up. :-)
