Bandai just released their DX Chogokin Robot Damashii VB-6 Konig Monster from Macross Frontier. I was at first skeptical in getting this toy, because I have the VF-25F, and it has some loose parts. I much prefer the tightness of the Yamato valkyries. Well, I’m impressed with Bandai’s VB-6. It’s tight, and has no loose parts, even though it has quite a number of hinged parts.

The box is about as tall and wide as a Yamato 1/60 valkyrie box, but not as deep.
Inside the box is the toy, some clear plastic stand pieces, an instruction booklet, and a small sheet of stickers. You can either stick the two shark eyes on your toy, or the Sheryl and Ranka stickers. I went with the shark eyes.

How big is this VB-6 next to a Yamato 1/60 VF-1S?

The VB-6 is slightly larger than the VF-1S.

Now onto gerwalk mode, my favorite!
Here’s a top view of the VB-6 in gerwalk mode versus the VF-1S.
And here’s a height comparison with the VF-1S in battloid mode.
I also like the VB-6′s feet. They’re gigantic, and each flap is hinged!
Here are the sticker sheet and the instruction manual.
This shirt is 100% cotton, and has two logos: the Robotech Defense Force kite logo on the front and the “Robotech” title logo on the sleeve.
