Tamashii has provided an updated look at the upcoming Macross Frontier DX 1/60 scale VF-25G Mikhail Type, set for release in spring. Now we get to see what it looks like with more paint applications & markings applied!
This unique variant of the VF-25 Messiah, is also the first sniper valkyrie to be seen in the Macross series. Equipped with removable super armor & sniper rifle with opening panels, this Messiah also comes painted in the familiar blue & white color scheme, reminiscent of Max Jenius’ VF-1J. This set will also include swappable hands, combat knife, gunpod attachement, & a display stand. It will retail for 16,000 yen.
For the first time in any Macross series, a sniper valkyrie is featured. Mikhail Braun is a sniper for SMS(Strategic Military Services), and his blue with white trim VF-25G is specially equipped with armor and a sniper rifle. The DX 1/60 VF-25G Mikhail Type will be released in spring 2009, and comes with his sniper rifle, and display stand able to be used in each mode.
Man...this looks sooo cool!!....must resist temptation to buy....

Looks great. Already ordered the Alto though...

Nice...
I like this better than the Luca type.
This is an excellent rendition of the VF-25, though I didn't like Michel, the guy who flew it.
I love the unarmored look of this valk, so I may well donate his armor to Alto. As someone has pointed out, it'd be perfectly cannon to do so without painting even, not that being canon matters that much to me.
Galia IV Set
I like how this set will be available in the future, though I'm not sure if I will buy Mikhail's 25G, as I'm not a big fan of the character. Any of you guys picking this set up?
At around $90 with third-party-brokerage fees, no, I can can definitely say I will not be picking this up. It's neat in theory, but just not enticing enough to convince me to get it.
picked this up tonight...played around with the one at the shop...nice accessories and a good price...almost as much as just a vf-25f or s alone...anyways...big box...finally
now for the rvf-25 next week
Hey look, it can stand with armor parts on without the stand!
This toy looks wonderful.

Damn this valk is tempting despite my hatred for dislike for Mikhail. Same goes for Luca and his valk....the crappiest characters in the anime had some of the most unique Messiahs....
A while back Quinjester suggested that I buy this and the Alto and put the armor on Alto. Come to think of it...doing that would also let me use the sniper rifle on Alto...for a last episode homage.
It really is a thing of beauty. I just can't justify the purchase. grrr.
