Originally released in 2009, this mecha was from the Macross 7 anime series that came out in the 90's and was piloted by Adm. Maximilian Jenius. There is also a red version that was released by Yamato Toys. Thats the one that was piloted by his wife, Milia Jenius.

1/60 VF-17 Super Pack by Yamato Toys

Yamato Toys just announced today that they are unveiling a Super Pack set for the recently released 1/60 Perfect Transformation VF-17 Nightmare at their 2012 Winter Wonfes Booth. Interesting development indeed. Not sure either if it is a limited release web exclusive or a regular item.

Ghost & Lancer II Garage Kits for Macross 30th Anniversary?

Ghost & Lancer II Garage Kits for Macross 30th Anniversary?

Saw this Retweet (or was it a copy paste?) at Yamato Toy's official site from an original Tweet at DIGIMIXStudio. I hope I'm reading it correctly, because to be honest, I have a hard time understanding the tweets at twitter because of its shortened state and unique address syntax, signs of old age creeping up at me...*snicker* Well if I am reading it correctly we can expect a Ghost and Lancer II garage kit (as well as some others) to be released this year for the 30th Year Anniversary of Macross.

Yamato Toys 1/60 VF-17S Nightmare (Diamond Force ver) Transformation Video



Saw this reference at Yamato Toy's Twitter page wherein they posted a link to a video they uploaded at their youtube page. The videos explains the transformation sequence for the 1/60 VF-17 Nightmare (Diamond Force ver) that's scheduled to come out this month. The video above is for the transformation from Fighter mode to Gerwalk mode, while the video below is for transformation from Gerwalk mode to Battroid mode.

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.

Saw this posted by Mr. K at Yamato Toys blog. Not really much mentioned on this post except about the great Summer Wonfes 2011 and the Macross 7 DVD. The picture at the end however I don't know what to make of, its a poster that was supposed to be used at Wonfes by them.
