Update: I got Max's 😅
As much as I like the paint scheme I still wasn't 100% convinced. Especially because the Gerwalk mode is kind of meh, and the hip joint can't rotate down a full 90 degrees, which is an annoying trend on some other Macross toys by both Bandai and Arcadia and severely limits the Gerwalk aesthetic. But after putting it into battroid, throwing on the Super Parts, and seeing how good it looks with them in both battroid and fighter, I will say I'm sold on the design. Feels good to have a modern Max valk as well!
