Variable Fighter Girls (ACKS MC) is a line of non-scale plastic model kits of characters by Aoshima, based on the Variable Fighters of the Macross metaseries. Part of the Aoshima Character Kit Selection (ACKS), each kit consists of a VF Girl figure and a Valkyrie that transforms from fighter to Gerwalk to the VF Girl's armor suit via parts-swapping. The ACKS line also features characters from Full Metal Panic! (FP), Godzilla (GO), Gunbuster (TN), Persona 5 (PE), Gurren Lagann (GR), Mobile Police Patlabor (MP), Space Runaway Ideon (DI), and Minions (MI).
