HG 1/100 YF-29 Durandal Valkyrie [ Alto Saotome Machine ] - Macross, Bandai

 The online event "HOBBY NEXT PHASE 2023 SPRING", which delivers the latest information on BANDAI SPIRITS plastic models, will finally be held! This time, more than 30 new product information scheduled to be released from July to September 2023 will be announced. In this article, check out the information related to "Macross"!

HG 1/100 YF-29 Durandal Valkyrie (Alto Saotome machine)

The second in the HG "Macross" plastic model series is a three-dimensional version of the "YF-29 Durandal Valkyrie (Alto Saotome machine)" from "Macross F"! Adopted "Replacement three-step transformation (shortcut change)" that simplifies the transformation sequence by using replacement parts for some parts. The HG series has the ease of assembly, wide range of motion, and sophisticated form of each form. 

The curved beauty of the forward wing in fighter mode and the characteristic silhouette in gawalk mode are faithfully reproduced. Battroid mode expresses a smart body line that is conscious of the play. Expand the range of motion of the arm by making the shoulder a pull-out type. 

By incorporating 3-axis movement in the chest, a wide range of movement to the front, back, left and right is realized. The missile hatches on the shoulders and legs can be deployed. In addition, you can store a knife in the shield as in the play. We are particular about the expression of fold quartz and canopy, and use a total of three colors of "polarization molding" that changes depending on how the light hits it. The namer seal is extremely thin but exhibits excellent concealability, and vivid color reproduction is possible even from the top of dark molded parts. Hand parts with rich expressions are also included.
