TINY SESSION, the set of mechs and characters that have been condensed into an innovative collection figure series, is finally available!​ ​ The first two models, VF-25F MESSIAH VALKYRIE (ALTO USE) with SHERYL and VF-25G MESSIAH VALKYRIE (MICHAEL USE) with RANKA from "Macross Frontier," released simultaneously on November 18, 2022.​
We'll introduce two cute and powerful transforming session machines, along with their songstresses, with these newly photographed production shots!

*The images shown in this article are of a prototype. The finished product may differ.
*Due to the format of the article, some of the transformation descriptions have been simplified. Please refer to the accompanying instruction manual when handling the real product.

TINY SESSION VF-25F MESSIAH VALKYRIE (ALTO USE) with SHERYL &
VF-25G MESSIAH VALKYRIE (MICHAEL USE) with RANKA

Both packages are adorably designed in pink and green, respectively. In the window, you can see the figures of Sheryl and Ranka peeking through. In addition to the main figure and parts in white blister packaging, a stand and marking stickers are also included.
Aside from the marking stickers meant for the Valkyrie's fuselage, there are also illustrated stickers of the songstress that can be attached to the pedestal or anywhere else you like!

TINY SESSION figures also include a special stand. The trapezoid-shaped stand can be fitted with two supports on the front and back. These can be adjusted to match the center of gravity of the pose, or placed on the opposite side of the stand to save space when multiple figures are placed next to each other.

The supports are not only compatible with the three Valkyrie forms, but they can also be flexibly moved by rolling them to the front/back, left/right, or along their joint axes to enable a wide range of imagery, such as "ascending in fighter form." When adjusting the angle, it is important to also adjust the movable part of the support under the main body joint.

*The joint attachment method differs for Fighter, Gerwalk, and Battroid modes. Please refer to the accompanying instruction manual for further details.

Just take the Messiah Valkyrie out of the packaging, attach the gunpod onto the Alto model and the sniper rifle onto the Michael model, apply the marking stickers, and you're ready to play! Each weapon is designed to be held and secured in the retracted hands.

"Listen to my song!"

"Everyone, hold me tight! To the edge of the galaxy!!"

The two Messiah Valkyries, along with Cheryl and Ranka in their familiar outfits, come together for a TINY SESSION, and the live performance is about to begin! Transparent parts are used for the canopy of the Messiah Valkyrie, and the fuselage surface is molded with panel lines, giving it a feeling of density despite its tiny appearance. The Sheryl and Ranka figures are attached to the base with special joints that help them stay upright.

"Sessions with Mecha and Characters." is a major theme of TINY SESSION. They've not only been designed and sculpted together, but they can also be put together and played with!
When in the Fighter or Gerwalk modes, the Messiah Valkyrie's canopy is removed and the figure stands using the gray joint parts inside. The base for Sheryl is engraved with "Sh" and the base for Ranka is engraved with "Ra." When playing with both figures together, please use these engraved letters as an aid to avoid mixing them up.

Let's transform into Gerwalk mode!

The knees are bent and the ankles are spread open. The weapons and shields have been removed, and the leg and arm bases have been deployed.Insert the pedestal joint into the base of the deployed arm.

The arms and body are now ready, and the weapons and shields have been equipped to complete the transformation into Gerwalk mode! The basic transformation sequence is the same for both the Alto and Michael machines, but the Michael model includes two detachable folded speakers that attach to the main wings. You can even recreate the live performance of Ranka's "Interstellar Flight" from the 12th episode, "Fastest Delivery."Kirat☆

Let's transform into Battroid mode!

Remove the head part in its retracted form, fold the nose, main wings, and vertical fin, then extend the rail that is built into the body. Rotate the foot and arm bases to position the canopy under the inseam, then fit and lock the joint between the nose section and the extended lower wing joint.
The replacement head part for Battroid mode has been attached, and the shoulder shafts have been raised to complete the transformation!

Despite its palm-sized dimensions (approximately 100 mm in height, even in Battroid mode), the cuteness of the design and the mechanical density of the figure are in perfect balance. By providing dedicated head parts that match its proportions, the finished product looks remarkably convincing as a "humanoid robot action figure."

The three stages of Fighter, Gerwalk, and Battroid modes have also been designed to provide both the essentials of the Messiah Valkyrie transformation as well as "intuitive hands-on fun," and is recommended for those who are new to Valkyrie transformable toys.

By attaching the character stand joints to the larger open hand parts, you can start a session even in Battroid mode!
The open hand parts are common to both the Alto and Michael models, so if you have both, you can change the combination of mecha and character. Even better, put Sheryl and Ranka in both hands and enjoy their duet, thus expanding the range of display possibilities many times over.

Utilizing the aforementioned features of the special stand, the Messiah Valkyries can be displayed as an aerial tag team, or even in a group display!
From transformation to display, TINY SESSION, the set of mechs and characters that have been condensed into an innovative collection figure series, finally takes off in stores on November 18, 2022!
