Meticulously crafted from Bandai's DX Chogokin line, this model captures the Saotome Alto's YF-29 Durandal Valkyrie with a premium metal core and carefully painted exterior. The 1/60 scale reveals an imposing silhouette with gleaming die-cast panels, blue and white Macross livery, and red accent stripes along the fuselage. The canopy is a translucent blue, revealing a detailed cockpit interior. Wings and thrusters articulate for multiple display modes, from agile fighter to mid-altitude battroid pose. Small armaments are mounted along the wings, and joints are engineered for smooth posing without sacrificing durability. A display stand and optional effect parts are included to recreate dynamic flight poses.

Saotome Alto is the fearless, impulsive pilot whose skill and loyalty make him a central figure in Macross Frontier. In Sayonara no Tsubasa, he commands the YF-29 Durandal Valkyrie in a high-stakes struggle against the Vajra and the escalating warfare that threatens both civilian life and the future of human civilization. The Durandal craft embodies his determination to protect comrades and loved ones, especially Sheryl Nome and Ranka Lee, while navigating the pressures of command and the heavy cost of battle. This narrative captures his evolution—from a bold ace to a seasoned pilot who earns trust through courage, precision, and compassion, mirrored in the sleek, heroic silhouette of his Valkyrie.
