From "Macross F" comes a sharply sculpted figure of the "YF-29 Durandal Valkyrie (Alto Saotome)"!

The "polarized light molding" that changes depending on the way light hits it is used in a total of three colors to express the folded quartz, canopy, etc. The Namer stickers are extremely thin but provide excellent hiding power, allowing vivid color reproduction even over parts with darker molding colors.
