The VF-22S Sturmvogel II [Maximilian Jenius Use] from Macross 7 has been released as an HG kit. The month before, the HG VF-22S
Sturmvogel II
[Milia Fallyna Jenius Use]was released, and this is a color variant of that kit with no new molding whatsoever. And with this release, HG VF-22S
Sturmvogel II
[Gamlin Kizaki Use] is also included, meaning all three color versions of the VF-22S have now been released.

So all the characteristics are identical to the Gamlin Kizaki/Milia Fallyna Jenius versions — it still delivers the same reliable swap-based transformation gimmick, excellent articulation, and solid locking. In this review, you really just need to pay attention to the changed molded colors. The light blue, which could easily have looked cheap, has been pulled off beautifully — subtle yet vibrant.

It's meaningful that all color variants of the VF-22 have now been released as kits. If you're a Macross 7 fan, building all three color versions sounds like a pretty fun time. :-)
