Compared to the F90, the torso, head, shoulders, and knee designs have been changed. The blue molded color is also slightly brighter, and quite a few of the blue parts have been swapped out for red ones.

The long rifle can be folded at the middle section, and the auxiliary grip is also articulated.

There are moving parts all over the weapon pack.

Interestingly, the two beam sabers are stored on the side of the right shoulder.

The last kit in the F90 series is the F90 II L-Type, where the "L" stands for Long Range. What makes it notable is that the base body has been upgraded to the F90 II — the head, chest, shoulders, and knee areas have been redesigned, and the blue covers have been replaced with red ones.

To be more precise, only the system insert runners of the base body have been swapped out for newly designed parts — I guess they felt a bit bad (?) about keep releasing the same base body with nothing but different weapon variations. That said, since only the exterior has changed slightly, the articulation and other structural features are completely identical to the original F90.

The L-Type adds magazine racks across the body along with a large long rifle and backpack. The lengthy long rifle can be folded at the middle section and comes with an articulated auxiliary grip, which lets you pull off some pretty cool two-handed firing poses. Getting the arms positioned just right to hold it properly isn't the easiest thing, though — that's probably just the limitations of joint design from back in the day.

Whatever else you might say, this kit's biggest selling point is that it lets you pull off the most impressive action poses in the entire F90 series. And since it's the only kit featuring the F90 II base body, this old-release has its own unique appeal. :-)
