Its a merchandizing ploy like the YF-25 was for False Diva. I am not expecting to see it get any screentime except for another passing visual at yet another hobby store.

The design is rather meh, very much a recycling of existing Kawamori design elements slapped together to make yet another valkyrie version to sell. I am glad it's coming out as a 1/100 kit rather than the over engineered / over priced Hi Metal line. IF only Bandai would release the rest of the Frontier fighters in 1/100 scale kit form, they could at least make money in that scale.

Clearly Wave must be doing well for Bandai to resurrect their 1/100 kit lines to compete.

Let's hope for and even ask for (at every opportunity) for some other kits like the VF-27B and G, the VF-171 and VF-171EX, YF-25 and even a YF-24 kit would be nice.
