Macross: Variable Fighter 25s Messiah (under construction)







I bought this Valkyrie along with a friend's birthday at Cineleisure, marking my second Macross 'toy' after 20 years!

This Valkyrie in particular is the VF-25s Messiah from the anime "Macross Frontier". It's a model kit and requires a LOT of piecing together. So far, it's looking good and the pieces are holding out quite sturdy. As a product from Bandai, this is indeed a welcome surprise after my horror which was the Wing Gundam Zero Custom. The wings' backpack kept falling off and the figure can't stand steadily due to the over-balancing of the wings-to-body ratio.

As far as I know from the VF-25s, this is a recommended model kit for Macross fans who can't afford to buy the chogokin version.
