They're big and pretty, but... where exactly are you supposed to put a decal this large? Hmm..

This kit is HG VF-25F Messiah Valkyrie (Alto Saotome Custom)the HG VF-25F Messiah Valkyrie (Alto Saotome Custom) DX Set, released alongside the standard version. Just like its predecessors, it adds a Sheryl Nome acrylic stand and bonus waterslide decals to the existing standard release. It comes in at ¥6,800, which is ¥2,500 more than the standard version.

For a detailed look at the included VF-25F Messiah Valkyrie Alto Custom Deluxe Set itself, please refer to the standard edition review — in this review, you really just need to check out the added acrylic stand and decals. The stand quality is decent enough, but whether it's worth paying an extra ¥2,500 is something you'll have to think about. Sure, the large and pretty waterslide decals are a nice bonus, but figuring out where to actually put them is another story.

Anyway, I personally like the Sheryl character, and since she's quite a popular one, the kit does have a certain rarity value on its own. It feels like a special package kit best recommended to those who have fond memories of Macross Frontier and Sheryl :-)
