Alongside the previously released VF-31s. They're roughly the same size.

The Macross Delta Mecha Collection series has released its first non-fighter entry — the carrier Elysion — and it comes in the Fortress Mode of this classic Macross carrier that transforms between robot and fortress forms.

True to the Mecha Collection line, it's roughly the same size as the previous VF-31s — only about 10cm long — yet the detail is remarkably intricate for something so small. The whole kit is molded in a single color, so it's a bit monochrome, but they've packed in a ton of mechanical molding for the size, making it both fun to build and really satisfying to look at.

This is a modern Macross carrier that I'd love to see released someday as a larger kit with full transformation — but as it stands, if you're a fan of small yet finely detailed kits, this one comes highly recommended. :-)
