Alongside the old 1/100 F90 III Cluster Gundam released in 1993.
It took a whopping 31 years to finally get an MG version!

Comparison with the old Core Booster F90 III (left).

This kit is the MG F90 III Cluster Gundam, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's based on the Club G release of the MG Gundam F90 , with some frames and joints carried over, but most of the exterior armor and weapons are newly sculpted.

The defining feature of the F90 III Cluster Gundam is its backpack, which houses both a Core Fighter and a Core Booster. They can be detached and transformed easily, and landing gear can even be attached separately. Weapons include a beam rifle, beam shield, beam sabers, and a Mega Beam Bazooka. The two Mega Beam Bazookas can be mounted or locked onto the side skirts using dedicated joint parts for attack poses, and you can also deploy the locking mechanism to mount them on the rear skirt.

Since the basic skeleton is reused from the MG Gundam F90, it still delivers excellent articulation and joint strength — there's a great balance between smooth movement and solid stability overall. Also included are replacement parts for attaching existing F90 Mission Packs. By swapping out the hard points on the forearms and shins along with the backpack, you can equip a wide variety of F90 Mission Packs.

Being based on the MG F90, this kit delivers a clean, quality feel throughout. It's been 31 years since the old 1/100 came out in 1993, and the upgrade in quality really shows — it's come a long way. Either way, there's plenty of new sculpting here, so the originality is solid. If you're a fan of the F90 series or just dig the look, this kit is definitely worth picking up. :-)
