DX VF-25 Messiah Version 2

Do you think it's just a leg/knee upgrade for gerwalk mode?

Nah I think it's more, think it will have everything the 29 has:

• Longer landing gear
• Nose not drooped downward as much
• Better shoulder articulation like on the 27/29
• Thigh swivels
• Redesigned hip/crotch/placed lower like on the 29
• Hands with movable fingers
• Place to store knife in shield

Thing is, I don't think it will be cheaper than the 29 =(

Hopefully this means they'll redo all the major characters' fighters from the original series. Though I'd kinda hope they'd just go and do a "deluxe pack" that has all the parts for either Armored, Super, or Tornado mode. It'd be expensive, but probably not nearly as expensive as buying the same Valk three times just for the different parts.

Hate to say it but the most likely route for some of the armor sets is TamashiiWeb aka exclusives. I HOPE Ozma's Messiah will come in 2 releases, one standard, and one with armor but non-exclusive, same for Alto's Super Messiah. For Mikhail and Luca I'm guessing they will come with their armor.

However this is Bandai we're talking about, they won't let the license go for a while and I see them milking this mold like none other. Especially between now and the 30th anniversaary of Macross next year. Frontier did better than Zero in that it got more fans in. Opportunity is ripe.

I'm almost 100% positive that any armor will be a Tamashii exclusive. That being said, the only one I'd get armor for is Ozma, as I feel the armor interferes with the sleekness of the designs.

I am beyond happy that they'll be doing these over again. If they end up the quality of the 29, I won't hesitate to drop lots of money on each one. I MUST have all of them!

Yeah, you're probably right on the web exclusives. Then again, I'd probably be happy with "Super" on Alto, Mikhail, and Luca's Messiah's, and "Armored" for Ozma's. (And hopefully a re-release of the drones for Luca).
