The highly anticipated Macross Frontier DX 1/60 VF-25 Alto Type and VF-25S Ozma Custom toys by Tamashii(Bandai) are now on sale! These toys should be trickling into you favorite e-tailer stores soon, just in time for the previously announced 12/25-31 release dates! These are the first all new perfect variable/transformation(no parts removal needed for transformation) Macross toys made by Bandai since making their Macross 7 DX 1/65 scale toyline in the mid 90’s.
The Macross Frontier anime series premiered this year, and is the latest installment in the Macross series. Created for the 25th anniversary and featuring a ton of homages to the original series, a movie is planned for next summer. The DX toys are not the only toys planned from Bandai, as their VF100 1/100 scale line is scheduled for February, and a 1/72 scale model kit line started earlier this year. With a movie premiering next summer we can expect a lot more merchandise to come! This is truly a great time to be a Macross fan!
*Update!* Instruction manual scans added!
Bandai's first release for their Macross Frontier DX 1/60 line will be Alto's VF-25F. With design influences ranging from the classic VF-1, to F-14 Tomcat & SU-27 Flanker, this is a popular valkryie with a rather unique battroid mode. Saotome Alto uses this from the beginning of the series, to the very end. This is Bandai's first all new valkyrie toy since their DX 1/65 Macross 7 toy line from the mid 90's.

WTF...? Christmas Day? Do they want to gain profits or not?
Japan doesn't do Christmas quite the same as North America does it, so yeah stores are open through the day.
"She will be mine, oh yes, she will be mine!".
Order the 1/72 kit in the interim?
I really wish the DX toys and 1/100s would come out soon too, I wanna get some reviews to pore over and decide whether or not I can resist them until Michele/Luca.
New images of the VF-25F have been added, click here to check them out!
This is the same one right..........
Has the box been shown for the Bandai Macross Frontier DX 1/60 VF-25S Ozma Type Yet?
If not I have it let me know.
Wow....that is beautiful looking.
I love how balanced the DX VF-25 looks. I actually don't mind the lower crotch positioning(higher hips) as much as before. If this toy comes fully painted as shown in the photos we are in for a treat, it has been a long while since we have seen an all new mold Macross toy extensively painted.
Man, that thing is wicked!
GA Graphic has posted new images of a near-final production sample. Click here to check them out!
I do hope that the final production toy has a gloss coat. I am impressed by how much is painted on. Almost no need for stickers! Look at that diecast in the necessary areas...
Bandai has made new promotional images of Alto's VF-25F. Thanks to mickayesou for images.
"She will be mine, oh yes, she will be mine!".
i would love to have one of these, but they are too much and i dont know much abt them and would probly get ripped if i bought one
Out of box images.....
Even More!!!
Shin. I LOVE you. Seriously.
*drools*
Styrofoam packaging FTW! I haven't seen that stuff packed with a Macross toy for over 10 years! Looks like the toys might have gloss coating too!
Need more pictures.
No, scratch that. Need the toy. Need it now. Sadly, having ordered it from BBTS, I probably wont see it until mid-January at the earliest. Waiting is the hardest part.
Shin : MOAR !!!
