Finally!!! After wiaitng for months for these it finally arrived. From the Macross Frontier series I present to you the VF25F Alto custom... Manual and Catalogue Aside from the GBP armor the VF-25G and RVF-25 will be released later within the year. Accesories include extra hands, gun pod, battle knife and a gunpod holder (to be used in valk mode) Fighter Mode: Cockpit opens. Pilot fig also included. Gerwalk Mode: The VF-25 has diecast feet making this the sturdiest valk to diplsay in Gerwalk mode beating the Yamato's. Battroid Mode: Gunpod extends to its "beam riffle" mode Die-cast parts include.... The landing gears are also die-cast btw. Side by side with new 1/60 ver VF-1S Overall reviewPros: -very tight joints -perfect transformation - very sturdy in all three modes - excellent detail and weight distribution - no flimsy hands!!! -no need to apply decals or stickers Cons: -hefty price tag - could use more accesories like a stand at least. There will be one available exclusive for the Fronteir valks but they have to be purchased seperately - Average possability (maybe due to the tight joints) Overall Review: Ok all biased feelings aside I cant seem to find anything wrong with this valk. Bandai did an excellent job outdoing Yamato in the Valkyrie race. This is how a valkyrie should be made and Bandai did an excellent job in producing it. The weight of the valk is just right, the detail and accuracy is just excellent...What more can i say... If only the price of this valk would be cheaper then it would be perfect! Disregarding the price and basing the review on the toy itself, I give it a 5/5!!!!

Yo nice review! Like what you mentioned bro, it looks freaking great! BANDAI seemed to have beaten Yamato this time in terms of Quality...however... It seems that the downside of this masterpiece is like what you mentioned...the price is too steep and that's where Yamato beats BANDAI's DX How much is Yamato's new 1/60 VF-1S with Striker packs? How much is this guy? 8K? without Fast packs?...I can't imagine the price of this baby if it gets bundled with the GBP armour or fast packs. I just hope though the add on's gets sold separately. Again, nice review bro! ;D

Sure thing looks good, the box is big as l-spec and yup the price is kinda a drawback around 8kphp.
