Bandai Spirits Confirms VF-31AX Kairos Plus Units In DX Chogokin Line
The DX Chogokin line is getting two named Delta pilots' machines at once, plus a planned Hayate anniversary edition, while Frontier's VF-25 Messiah gets a completed-model line of its own, so Macross collectors are looking at releases from two series rather than one.
