The fourth 1/72 Siegfried has been released as the VF-31C Siegfried [Mirage], Mirage Farina Jenius's unit. Just like its predecessors, this is a typical Macross color variant kit with some molded colors changed and only the head design updated — and unlike the Messer or Arad units, it doesn't include any special markings.

Since the features and detailed transformation process are completely identical to the existing Siegfried kits, 1/72 VF-31J Siegfried Hayate Custom Reviewplease refer to that review. For this one, you really just need to pay attention to the changed color scheme and the new head design. That said, just like with the previous kits, you'll want to be careful not to snap the head antennas — and on top of that, the protruding structure on the chin area can break just as easily, so watch out. (I already broke mine during transformation. T_T)

Anyway, it still boasts the latest transformation engineering and reasonably solid joint strength, but this is definitely a kit where you need to handle each part with care and mind their durability during transformation. :-)
