1/72 VF-25F Armored Messiah Valkyrie Alto Custom

From the climatic battle in the final episode of "Macross Frontier" where Alto piloted his personalized VF-25F equipped with Armored Parts, gunpod, sniper rifle, and a tremendous load of missiles, with this deluxe set that packs the VF-25F Messiah Valkyrie Alto Custom together with Armored Parts to build the Armored Messiah Valkyrie! This top-quality Bandai offering comes molded in color with all its intricate mechanical parts, cockpit, and panel lines reproduced in sharp detail. Fully transformable between its Fighter, Gerwalk, and Battroid modes, even with Armored Parts equipped, the Valkyrie can smoothly switch from any of its three modes with the use of metal shafts in the wings and nose. Missile hatches on the Armored Parts are openable, and the main vernier thruster nozzles are flexible with ball-jointed articulation. Its signature gunpod can slide open, the eight stabilizers and a scope on the sniper rifle can slide open when set in shooting mode, and its knife can be stored in its shield. An unpainted to-scale Alto pilot figure in a sitting pose, molded in gray and designed to be placed in the cockpit, is included, along with waterslide decals and marking stickers. Action Base 01 Macross Frontier S.M.S Version is also provided in this set. (Images & text courtesy HobbyLink Japan)
