The official Gunpla flagship store for Mobile Suit Gundam in Japan, GUNDAM BASE, has announced a new limited-edition item, "HG 1/144 Gundam F91 [Afterimage Transparent Color Ver.]" , which will be available for purchase at various stores starting June 13, 2026.
The Gundam F91 is a cutting-edge miniaturized mobile suit developed under the "FORMULA" program of the Naval Strategic Research Institute. Standing only 15.2 meters tall, its performance represents the pinnacle of contemporary mobile suits. It is equipped with systems such as a bio-computer and bio-sensors that allow non-Newtype pilots to use it safely and reduce piloting burden. Furthermore, it utilizes the "MCA structure," developed from the psycho-frame technology of the ν Gundam and Unicorn Gundam, effectively reducing armor weight without sacrificing strength, greatly increasing mobility. In addition, the F91 possesses a "maximum operating mode" to unleash its full potential. When activated, it deploys cooling fins on its chest and shoulders, as well as its head mask, for heat dissipation, while the armor undergoes MEPE (Metal-on-Plate Peeling), creating a "massive afterimage" phenomenon in its trajectory.
The "HG 1/144 Gundam F91 [Afterimage Transparent Color Ver.]" is a modified version of the standard kit released in 2013. All white, red, yellow, and blue parts have been replaced with transparent molded colors featuring a glitter effect, representing the "massive afterimage" image from the design. The model exhibits a crystal-like luster when illuminated, making it easier to perform special modifications such as lighting and glow-in-the-dark paint, resulting in a style distinct from standard Gunpla.
The rest of the design is the same as the standard version, featuring a sleek and stylish look, flexible double joints on the elbows and knees, and articulation. The leg thrusters and the two variable-speed beam rifles (VSBR) on the back are also movable. By replacing parts, the "maximum operating mode" with the head mask and shoulder cooling fins deployed can be reproduced. The weaponry includes a beam rifle, beam emitter, two beam sabers, and a beam shield.
