■ DX CHOGOKIN VF-25 MESSIAH VALKYRIE Top Gun: Maverick Ver. Features

A groundbreaking collaboration between Top Gun: Maverick and Macross Frontier, celebrating the thrilling exploits of fighter pilots from both universes! This collaboration marks the first-ever crossover between the Macross series and a major Hollywood blockbuster.

This collaboration piece features the VF-25 Messiah Valkyrie from the legendary Macross Frontier anime series, adorned in a special color scheme inspired by the iconic aircraft piloted by Maverick in the Top Gun: Maverick—one of the greatest high-flying action movies ever made.

The model can switch between three distinct forms: the jet-like Fighter mode, the humanoid Battroid mode, and the hybrid GERWALK mode.

Fighter Mode:

Inspired by Maverick's jet from Top Gun: Maverick, yet retaining the unmistakable aesthetic of the VF-25 Messiah Valkyrie—this is a dream collaboration that fans of both Top Gun: Maverick and Macross Frontier are going to love!

Deploying the landing gear allows for the model to be posed in its landed state.

Battroid Mode:

The head design incorporates the motifs of Maverick’s iconic helmet, allowing fans to enjoy a splash of Top Gun: Maverick’s aesthetics even in Battroid mode!

GERWALK mode:

The model can also switch into the Valkyrie’s well-known GERWALK hybrid mode.

In addition to a display stand that allows for posing the model in all three modes, this product also includes a special commemorative display stand featuring custom markings. This special stand supports displaying the unit in either Fighter or GERWALK mode.

■ Top Gun: Maverick

Released in 2022, Top Gun: Maverick is the sequel to the 1986 blockbuster sensation Top Gun, which follows an elite squad of American fighter pilots—the very best of the best. In Top Gun: Maverick, the team is faced with an impossible mission, leaving them no choice but to turn to the legendary Maverick in order to pull it off. Despite boasting a track record as the greatest pilot in Top Gun history, Maverick’s unorthodox personality and refusal to play by the rules have kept him spinning his wheels as a rank-and-file aviator. Why has Maverick chosen to return to Top Gun and risk his life alongside this new generation of pilots?

■ Macross Frontier

Broadcast in 2008 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Macross franchise, this series combines the fan-favorite staples of the Macross universe—Valkyrie mechas, a love triangle between a pilot and the two female leads, and the use of song as a crucial plot device—with all-new elements: a pair of divas who couldn’t be more different, high school drama, private military contractors, and mysterious extraterrestrial lifeforms.
