The verdict

I like what this kit does for the F90's shelf presence, but I'm honest with you that it's a support act, not a headliner.

You need the base MG Gundam F90 already built because this box adds zero body, just two full loadouts of weapons and backpacks. Once I understood that going in, the value math made a lot more sense and I stopped being annoyed by the sticker sheet.

Best for: F90 owners who already love the base kit and want the electronic warfare and long range support loadouts without buying a whole second body

The full review

What it is

This is an accessory expansion, not a mobile suit. You get the E-Type (electronic warfare, radome, directional jamming rifle) and S-Type (long range support, mega beam cannon, 4-beam cannon, support jack, missile pod) mission packs, both molded fresh and both clipping onto an MG Gundam F90 you already own. I built both loadouts back to back over a weekend and the appeal clicked for me once the F90 was standing there with a radar dish on its back and a cannon nearly as long as its own body. It is a genuinely fun way to keep one F90 body doing double duty as two very different looking suits.

The catch

Here's the part that keeps this from being a slam dunk. There are no molded red parts anywhere in the box, so you're either painting or relying on the included HG-style sticker seals to get the accent color the box art shows off. The construction is also a step down from the base F90, with seam lines running down the barrels and cannon housings that the base kit mostly hides, and nub marks that need real cleanup attention if you want the guns looking clean under a shelf light. None of it ruins the kit, but it's a noticeable quality drop from what the base F90 trained me to expect.

Who it's for

Buy this if you already have the MG F90 built and want to expand what it can do without a second full-price kit, or if the specific silhouette of the electronic warfare radome and the long range cannon rig genuinely appeals to you. Skip it if you don't own the base F90 yet, since this adds no body at all, and skip it if you're chasing MG-standard finish quality, because the seam lines and no-red-parts issue mean this expansion asks for more painting effort than a typical MG accessory set.

The build story

What the build is actually like, and the engineering worth knowing about.

Gate placement on both packs is straightforward but the long cannon barrels and radome housing are cylindrical parts, so seam lines show more than they would on a boxier part, and cleanup takes more patience than I expected from an MG-line accessory. Nub marks land in visible spots on a few of the larger housing pieces, so plan on sanding if you want a clean look under good light.

Where the kit earns its keep is in the accessory variety. You're building a directional jamming rifle and radome for the E-Type, then a long distance mega beam cannon, 4-beam cannon, support jack, and dual missile pod for the S-Type, all in one box. Fit onto the base F90's mounting points is solid and doesn't loosen with repeated swaps, so if you like posing one body in multiple configurations this delivers real value per dollar even with the finish compromises.

Lore & trivia

01The F90 was developed by Earth Federation Forces' Strategic Naval Research Institute (SNRI) in Universal Century 0111 as a small scale, easily supplied mainstay mobile suit built around interchangeable Mission Pack hardpoints.
02The Mission Pack system let the F90 mix and match components from different packs, with in-universe combinations like Type A.D.S. (Assault, Destroid, Support) and Type NG (H.U.L.L fighter and Guard) built from parts across multiple packs.
03Bandai released the E-Type and S-Type mission packs as a Premium Bandai exclusive expansion alongside a run of other MG F90 mission pack sets (including B/K, F/M, and W types), letting collectors build out the F90's full arsenal over several separate releases rather than in one kit.
