I already have 6 other VF-25 variants in my collection, so of course I needed to add one more. Bandai's first worldwide Macross toy release is a beautifully painted blue/white tribute to the franchise, and it's freedom from Harmony Gold's stranglehold over Robotech in the West. There are some improvements to the previous releases such as the extra screws to keep the hip joint tight. The matte finish gives a premium look to the toy. The engineering of this transformation is still amazing, in plane mode you can hardly tell it transforms.
