Found this image in a Yamato blog post. Decided to have some fun with it. The picture above has a number of Macross Figures in them. Try to guess which one is which. You can click on the image to get a larger picture if you find the one above too small.
My answers are below.
Somehow I’m not surprised that Yamato Toys decided to start selling Macross Flight Jackets. Considering that they already started selling Macross Flight Helmets, so it would be the logical thing to do to start selling these things. Sadly, I don’t like the design however. Despite it being modeled after Hikaru Ichijo, with his colors, name tag and Skull Squadron insignia.
I was looking at game play videos of the Macross Ace Frontier game for the PlayStation Portable(PSP) and was blown away with all the action. Sadly though I have no PSP. So no platform to play Macross Ace Frontier on, I think you can Download a PSP emulator but its unsure if that game will actually play on an emulator. The most popular Play Station Portable Emulator seems to be the Potemkin. But if I decide to buy just the game, I still have to worry about how to transfer the game to the PC. It still seems like a gamble. The other option is to befriend somebody with a PSP, hahaha… user! Then again, I think I’m too old already to be playing video games. Game can be bought here, even if you aren’t in Japan.
Basara stands by the leg of his Battloid with a wrench. He eyes the open missile bay of his Battloid that is blistering with Missiles. Ray approaches him and asks him if he plans to remove the missiles. Basara tells Ray not to load missiles in his Valkyrie then proceeds to remove them.
Fire Bomber, due to Mylene’s initiative, has been able to land a gig on the Riviera, one of the ships of the Macross 7 fleet. The Riviera houses an artificial beach and is the summer resort of the fleet. Aside from containing leisure water activities, it is also home to the aquaculture industry of Macross 7 which provides the fleet with fish and other aquatic products.
Along with the announcement of Tamashii that there is a Galia 4 kit for the VF-25 Messiah (and with the bad news that they’re out of stock of Alto’s VF-25 1/60 scale Armored Pack), was the announcement of a Ghost Fighter and Weapons set for Luca Angeloni’s Messiah VF-25 (1/60 Scale). The bad news is that it is exclusive for Tamashii club members, the good news is that it is available at overdrive, the bad news is that order has already stopped…
Update: The bad news is that it is exclusive for Tamashii club members, the good news is that it is available at overdrive, the bad news is that order taking has already stopped…the good news is that it looks like a waste of money anyway…hehehe
Announced yesterday on the Tamashii site that pre-orders are being taken of the Galia 4 Messiah Valkyrie Fold Set for Michael Braun’s VF-25. The kit will cost about Y5,250 Yen. Order taking started yesterday and will end on May 20 (3PM, Japan time I think). Expected release date is on July 2009. And you have to keep in mind that Michael Braun’s VF-25 is not included in the kit.
Macross Frontier Fans will remember this as having appeared in the episode titled “Fastest Delivery”. Where Alto Saotome, Sherly Nome and Grace O’Conner are hostaged in Galia 4 by some Zentraedi Battalion. The Zentraedi were demanding entertainment, so Sherly was requested to perform. But since Sheryl wasn’t able to perform because she was sick the Zentraedi used this as an excuse to go berserk on their commanders. Michael and Ranka borrow an experimental fold booster to get there on time and fly in to save the day.
Included in the set are:
I was watching Macross Plus OVA during the weekend and noticed this panel of photos in Col. Millard’s office. I saw this in Episode 3, the time when Col. Millard was informing Isamu, Yang and Guld that Project Nova had been cancelled. At first glance it meant nothing to me and I hardly noticed it because it was only shown for a few seconds. Thanks to the powers of the DVD player I was able to freeze the frame and get a better look at it.
