Update: Turns out that this logo was already unveiled a few months back

Yamato Toys twitter is a buzz because of new information regarding the 1/60 VF-17 Nightmare (Diamond Force ver) that’s being released this month. Maybe the most interesting piece of the post was at the bottom, where Mr. K of Yamato Toys posted the official 30th Anniversay Macross Logo. That’s the SDF-1 Macross from the Macross Do You Remember Love movie.

Update: Saw this made available already for pre-order at HobbyLink Japan: here, here and here

Saw this today while trolling across the Bandai Macross Frontier site. Its an announcement for the 1/100 YF-29 (fighter mode) Alto version model kit. Haven’t read it fully but at first pass it seems to say that its based off the 1/72 molds of the VF-25. There seems to be 3 version available, Fighter Mode Alto then 1 with Ranka markings and another with Sheryl rankings. Looks like this will just be in fighter mode and not gerwalk and battroid.

HobbyLink Japan early today announced a sale on some Macross related products and merchandise. Free with your purchase is a random decal sheet which can be used on the 1/72 scale of VF-25 Messiah model kits made by Bandai.

Arihiro Hase, who voiced main character Hikaru Ichijo, in Super Dimensional Fortress - Macross. Lent his voice to the Macross 7 sequel. In Macross 7 he played the voice of Actor Bobby Lacoste. Bobby was introduced as the actor who replaced Basara Nekki in playing Hikaru Ichijo in the Lynn Minmei Movie. This was because Basara didn’t feel like doing the movie.
