Old-release F91 series — all 8 kits together

The last kit in the F91 series is the 1/100 Heavy Gun, which fills the GM-equivalent role. In terms of color and overall style, it actually feels more like a Geara Doga than a GM, but either way it's a mass-production Federation suit — and it shares almost the exact same molded colors as the G-Cannon.

It's the largest and best-looking kit in the F91 lineup, and it got a lot of praise when it was first released. Articulation is a bit below average, which is slightly disappointing, but thanks to its rock-solid joints and tight grip — on par with an MG — the feel in your hands is anything but old-school.

As for extra features, you get an opening/closing storage gimmick on the rear skirt to mount the beam rifle, plus the ability to open the grenade rack on the left side skirt.

All in all, alongside the G-Cannon, this is one of the best-quality kits in the F91 series — and even building it 20-plus years later, it holds up just fine. Especially when you consider the price of just ¥800, it's not an exaggeration to call this one of the best value-for-money kits in all of Gunpla history. :-)
