"Bandai's VF HI-METAL VF-19 Kai (Fire Valkyrie)"

Here comes Bandai's VF-19 Kai Fire Valkyrie from the new VF HI-METAL line at 1/100 scale!

From the box:
"The VF-19 Kai Excalibur Basara Nekki Special (Common Name: Fire Valkyrie) is a modified version of VF-19 test fighter that was used prior to the VF-19 fighter's official employment by the Macross 7 fleet. This fighter is flown by Basara Nekki, the vocalist of "Fire Bomber" a popular rock band in the Macross 7 fleet.
In addition to cutting-edge performance the fighter's design has a "musical" emphasis, and serves a test model for the use of musical energy.
Secretly employed by the UN Spacey, the fighter was initially seen to be a potential disturbance to the Diamond Force elite squadron as well as regular fighter divisions, and squadron attachment was left unclear. However, as Basara's song persevered through battle, Basara and the Fire Valkyrie were soon to become acknowledged by the entire fleet for their central role in the battle against the enemy Protodevilin."

Despite owning the VF-19, Basara hardly ever uses Gerwalk mode simply because he doesn't know how to!

Super poseable~~ The "gun" he's holding is actually not a weapon... it launches speaker pods which amplifies Basara's singing to the enemies! Check out this snippet of Mac 7 to see it for yourself :P

This guy cost me RM298 before 5% discount. I really like the VF HI-METAL line because it costs less than half the price of the usual 1/60 scale, which means can collect more! And next in this line is the VF-1J... hurray! :D
