A review of the Master Grade Gundam F90 from the manga series Mobile Suit Gundam F90.

I've been meaning to do a redo review of the MG Hi-Nu Gundam ver KA and I've done about 50% of it in small chunks over the last few months. However, because of the large gap since the last review, I'd feel bad my only upload in ~5 months was a review of a kit you've already seen reviewed... so I decided to make this new review first!
- Production notes for me to look back on later and laugh at -
- This review was done in small bursts over a month, with a HUGE editing push at the end. So it was… weird. Lots of things I would do, then pause for a week, only to forget why I did them. This was the first (and hopefully only) time I've been this disorganized while making video.
- The 1st misstep was that I shot the footage before the script. Since I had just shot the Hi-Nu footage, I already had my camera set up, so I decided to just go for it. I shot with no rhyme or reason, just whatever I thought I’d need. I ended up with a 25% more shots/poses than I needed, and yet still missing a good 25% of shots I did need. Never doing that again haha.
- Then I hastily wrote the script. It was massively long. Mainly the build and appearance. I ended up cutting a lot. I do feel I could've given the build a 4.5 if I had sat on the script for another few days, but still, I'm pretty content with these scores. They compare well to the F91 ver 2.0 this kit is partially based on.
- Using that script I snagged some specific stills I skipped the first go around, and that was that. I then, sorted the shots as usable and junk, then pumped them through Adobe Bridge, got the RAW’s looking good, and was ready to record audio.
- The audio is where I started to really procrastinate. The above footage took about a week, which was longer than it could have, but the audio… took about 2 weeks to lay down. Part of the reason was I wanted more time to fine tune the script, but I know deep down it was because I just hate recording audio lol
- I think I did a pretty good job with the audio this time around. I really tried to get my speaking position set up right for better recording. This is the fall, however, so I couldn’t escape the sound of leaf blowers every now and again. Very annoying, but I think I managed to mix them out for the most part. There are a few inserts that don't match though, but the editing push at the end wore me out so much, I didn't really care.
- Editing was when I really felt the gap in production and lack of direction with the footage. I just had all this footage, and no idea what I planned on doing with it. I also think Adobe Bridge messed up, and exported my junk shots with my usable shots, so I just had WAY too much. Like I’d look for a shot of the knee vent, but I’d have 6-7 options. I know one of them must have been shot specifically for the knee, but I can’t tell which one.
- This editing just flat sucked. I treated this like a 40 hour work week, as I only have 1 week before I start a new job and my time will be more limited. Still, I used all 40 hours, and still wish I had more time... Just so many gaps I needed to fill in and extra stuff I needed to shoot/record. I ended up doing a full run through of just the pictures I could find, then went back and filled the gaps with random turn-table footage or shot additional footage to fill in the gaps.
- The main thing I would've liked more time on (aside from more quality checking) is the color filter. I kind of just slapped on the filter from the Shining Gundam, spent about 5 minutes messing with it, and called it a day. I would've liked to have really nailed the bright pure white of this F90's armor, as right now it has a slight warmish hue to it.
- I really, really like this title card though. It's based on the cover of the F90's manga. I did it all in about one night, so I'm sure I'll find some mistakes later, but right now I really like it. I recreated that F90 logo in high quality btw. That was a fun use of 30 minutes.
- I feel like this review is unfinished, and that's probably because I did SO MUCH in the last week editing and reshooting and rerecording. My brain is numb, and I can't process I'm actually done with this video haha. Hopefully there aren't too many flaws for me to cringe at later... but I know there will always be a few anyway lol

Could you do a review of the ex-s/s gundam e.f.s.f prototype transformable mobile suite kit I have it but I haven’t started on it

[@zakhaevshub4735]

Hey bro...I really want you to review the F90 Unit 2 soon

[@bensmith7963]

The king returns.

[@orpheus_a1747]

Our lord has returned to the kingdom

[@andreassetiawan7773]

Redheadphones6 is the equivalent of SethEverman in gunpla reviews. Rarely shows up but when they do, it's a quality.

[@dlittle9556]

Seriously man you make the best reviews out of all of the other reviewers. Love the background music, perfect volume and nice. And of course the review format is great. Keep it up you deserve way more views!

[@redheadphones6]

Thanks so much!

[@saintdane05]

It wouldn't shock me if this was supposed to be a regular release but was changed at the last minute. The box is done in a normal Master Grade scheme, not the two tone that's often done with p bandai

[@RideIsOverMutie]

Never clicked on a vid so fast in my notifications. Please consider reviewing the MG Victory and V2 Ver.Ka! I'd love to see your take on ti.

[@christianrobledo6172]

Plus the Assault Buster expansion!!!

[@cassandrafoxx4171]

The original 'No-Grade' 1/100 F90 was one of the few examples of Stage 2 System Injection ever seen in Gundam models. Stage 1 was multiple colors on one sprue/tree, which became common to Gundam kits; Stage 2 was multiple color-injection on single parts, such as the F90's chest-plate, but I have only seen six kits, including the F90's four reiterations in no-grade (including the F90II) that came with this process. Good to see the P-Bandai MG reissue has such color-piece separation now...

[@PrimeYsiadGL]

Really missed you, and miss when P-Bandai was for small releases only

[@tedhodge4830]

"This kit uses more modern interchangeable fingers, instead of my preferred 2.0 style hands." FINALLY! Somebody said it. I felt like I was taking crazy pills.

[@seanhigby2656]

I really wanted to get this kit, but I knew I wouldn't stop at one and would want 1 for each expansion, had to stop myself.

[@gundamguy6651]

I’ve been waiting 4, no, 5,000 years for this!

[@ascens1on112]

Dude your aesthetic is so nice and relaxing. Keep up the great work.

[@redheadphones6]

Thank you!

[@MrMyNameIsHaha]

This channel shows promise; looking forward for the next 4-5 years, can't wait to see you progress not just in the term of quality but also for the channel to grow. Here's hoping you'd be in the ranks of Mecha and Zaku one day, no kidding 🤞

[@redheadphones6]

Thank you!

[@tamura9730]

Finally! I loved your reviews i rewatched them constantly

[@redheadphones6]

Thank you!

[@Wolf99555]

somewhat off topic, but do you think you could ever do a tutorial of how you paint the small parts, apply decals and panel line? especially your panel lining, you're one of the only reviewers where i like how your panel lines look, and i'd love to see how you do it so i can finally try it out

[@darkhorse744]

Yaaaay! You're back! I missed your reviews! Also are there any Gunpla you're looking forward to from the recent announcements?

[@yanjirujan193]

Pros: this whole kit Cons: it's a P-Bandai

[@EldritchBee]

Yes! It's always a good day when there's another RedHeadphones review to add to the catalog so I can rewatch them all next time I want the best reviews on the internet.

[@bunsdarius9223]

Heck yeah you're back! Really like your reviews bro. Really like the part where you show every improvements that could be done on the kits.

[@ShinSuperSaiyajin]

my favorite gunpla review channel! very direct to the point and it helped me decide on what gunpla to get as well. keep up the good work sir!

[@SparkRattle]

You have no idea how happy I am to have you back accompanying me as I build my gunpla.

[@midengine8576]

Finally ive been waiting weeks for this!

[@Wolf99555]

yay, my fav reviewer is making more videos :3

[@ethereous]

Jesus, I absolutely love your videos. Clicked on this one as fast as possible. Keep em up, man.

[@redheadphones6]

Thank you!

[@thereall1autismo491]

great to have you back mate

I missed these reviews, great vid as always.

[@Kenny_F91]

This Gundam deserves a High Grade. It has an amazing story.

[@johnnyj3852]

You're back!

You´re back!

Really liked the way you review kits. Great job man. Can you do a review on newer 00 mg's? Thanks!😁

[@Picture9663]

Finally. You made the Video Love it!!

[@AwalAznable]

Idk where you been hiding but thanks for the new video!

[@CalderTF2]

Great review as always.

[@redheadphones6]

Thank you!

[@ShaffCloud81]

Great review, as always!

[@laplace2120]

Finally a new and great video out

[@zakhaevshub4735]

Omg I really love this MS....but somehow F90II we're more resembles and had features closer to F91

[@hastur1784]

Good job, amazing review.

[@androyus]

It feels so good to have your new video again, Red. You're one of the best Gunpla reviewers out there. Do you have any plan to review the upcoming MG Wing Zero Custom 2.0? It'd make a nice comparison with your WZC 1.0 review.

[@itsmepamz2477]

Verka? IMO verka still verka, not 2.0. Except Bandai releases the 2.0 kit.

[@androyus]

@@itsmepamz2477 Yeah, until 2.0 actually comes out (which can be a decade+ from now), the ver. Ka will fill the 2.0 slot, just like MG ZZ.

[@jhonnythefox7903]

My favorite Gundam reviews. Next One Will be the Psycho Zaku ver KA.? That One Is a Beast.

[@mdzl70]

Awesome video!

[@michaelfuller7635]

Mabey it's just me but I love the looks of this gundam alot. 😊 it's like Alex nt1 but better. If I had to only buy one kit this would be it. ❤

[@homeofobic5896]

He is back 😳

[@bayronsilva9269]

Hi, could you make a video about the Gundam Victory two Ver.Ka?. Grettings from Chile ✌️😄

[@zeqizhang7373]

Welcome back

[@SeanyBoy589]

I happily agree this is too good for p ban, brand new mould and great depiction of one of my fave ms. In my humble opinion this should of been a reg release and the f90 II and 2 nd unit be the p bans (which they are but you get my point)

[@armin8306]

I'm a huge fan of the F91. This looks pretty good too. I wish they'd do like a 1/100 new version of a G Cannon, the guntank or Berga Giros. The Vigna Zirah was a bit ehh.

[@wewyllenium]

I need this and the "Pack-U type" :D

[@dragonsoldier200]

Odd... i didnt get a notification. But welcome back!

[@TimBajeena]

Building the F90 unit 2 right now, pretty fun build and great colors. Did you get a mission pack for yours? Big fan of your reviews, I really like the background music, reminds me of Megaman Battle Network

[@Jirujan]

i think the reason why it's a P-Bandai is because Bandai think not many people would buy this Gundam (because most people are familiar with F91, not the F90). but i think Bandai should make this kit a regular release, and make the optional equipment as P-Bandai

[@MrChiron12]

Easily one of my favorite kits, and it's really a shame that it's P-banda like you say

[@itanocircus2106]

Yea now that I look at it again this is actually a nice Gundam design

[@elburbo]

I missed the original release so I might just get the purple Unit II and paint it more standard colors.

[@mygunplabuildbyrodnycp3730]

I want this kit.but sadly i cant find this old kit anymore on any store on my location.hope one day it will pop up suddenly😊.

[@amar9427]

Bandai hasn't release a single Figure Rise Standard Darling in the Franxx model kit line. Though it will look cool to have Darling in the Franxx model kit standing beside gundam kits

[@ekaputra2236]

I like your review

[@highgardentwo6977]

Finaly after all this time

[@theasiannerd5404]

Time to get the popcorn

[@OtherMomo]

Are you going to get your hands on the F90 II? It's mostly the same but the armor more closely resembles the 91, and it comes with a mission pack

[@legoskyminer3155]

What’s your go to gold paint?

[@titan133760]

Will you be reviewing the upcoming MG Wing Zero Ver. Ka.?

[@BunBros]

Would this kit be able to utilize led features like how the f91 2.0 does?

[@fattieeating4320]

Its here epic

[@robertwhite7845]

I'm painting the Gundam Mark 2 Titans version metallic black and gunmetal and like gunmetal.

[@holden_7597]

This is legitimately my favorite Gundam of all time. Late UC truly is the peak. Until it gets relentlessly awful with Crossbone.

[@uni_diver0851]

Is this figure discontinued because I can't find it on any site

[@wewyllenium]

Bandai is really pushing the use of their Ecommerce. That is the reason why P.Bandai exist :D Nice review.

[@carloRX78K2]

Would you consider the f90II?

[@finalbladecrisis]

Gah, still so annoyed i missed both release windows for this. Hoping the reissue it a couple more times so i have a chance.

[@LeeONardo]

They are also doing unit 2. So even though this kit stands out with it's prominent blue, the unit 2 comes in a mainly purple look with white highlights - so would REALLY pop out of a collection.

[@finalbladecrisis]

@@LeeONardo thabks for lettin me know. I saw pics of that but thiught it was a custom. Not a fan of the purple lol

[@mrZavior]

So the F90 got a 90%? That's neat LOL

[@redheadphones6]

[@gideonthangcin8179]

Wow I thought it looked like the Alex too

[@redheadphones6]

Your comment on that other post made me realize it haha. Nice catch!

[@gideonthangcin8179]

@@redheadphones6 oh wow! You remembered that comment from so long ago?

[@M1kaelJohansson]

haha not to be picky but "the back of the bicep" is called the tricep 😁

[@leolied6766]

It looks so good. But it really shouldn't be P Bandai. Also whats your opinion on the reveal of the Mg Gundam MK V

[@hks071]

Coming back?

[@johannestempest874]

You should get the Mk-V

[@carlosperez3677]

Dude do you write your own intro music!?

[@carlosperez3677]

Love it!!

[@CKT1138]

Sure would be nice if I could actually get one. For less than 90 USD, preferably. Thanks Bandai.

[@Bobert2020]

Kinda disappointed that the kit itself is p-bandai. The accessories make sense as p-bandai but the kit itself doesn't. If only a 1.0 was made along with the og f91 so that we could have a retail 2.0. Also, how many times do you say "ya know?" Been watching your videos and you always say that

[@itsmepamz2477]

I am disappointed about this kit being P-Bandai release. Come on, it's okay if all A to Z Mission Pack being P-Ban releases. But why the base kit too.

[@joebin3106]
