To commemorate the upcoming release of the ‘Zentran-mori’ (Zentran-size) Macross Frontier digitally remastered Blu-ray Boxset on Dec. 25, the iconic Radio Kaikan building in Tokyo’s Akihabara district has been plastered with giant Macross Frontier advertisements.

The following pictures come from the radio kaikan press website.

The SpeakerPODcast crew have recently started a Youtube channel to go along with their podcast. This is meant to be a companion resource and, as such, won’t have much content at first but will eventually be built up until it hosts a selection of footage of the crews Macross life in Japan. Theres only a handful of vids up at the moment, but some more updates are due at the end of the year so don’t forget to subscribe!

Volume 19 of Newtype Ace has revealed, via a tiny thumbnail-sized picture, the box artwork for the upcoming Macross Plus BD Boxset.

Done, as previous boxsets, by the true Master of Valkyries Hidetaka Tenjin, the piece shows crossing YF-19 and YF-21, encircled by Sharon Apples infamous chain logo.

The jacket art for the box set has not yet been revealed. Macross Plus Complete Bluray Box will be released on June 21 for 17850yen. It will contain the English dub, but no English subs.

Here’s something straight out of left field, Yamato Co. Ltd has changed to an entirely new company and will now be known as ARCADIA Co., Ltd.

Aside from the unannounced corporate change and new office relocation, things still appeared to be business as usual regarding their Wonder Festival 2013 booth. From here on their ball jointed doll, figure and Macross products will be distributed within Japan under the Arcadia banner. Products that are licensed and imported from outside Japan will continue to be sold under their former Yamato branding. The North American Yamato USA (f.k.a. Toycom, Inc.) office is said to be unaffected by despite their Tokyo headquarters changes.

Given this change, there was very little in the way of Macross-related content at their booth this show, with the few products that were on display being collaboration projects. Among these were:

-a Hasegawa VF-1 model kit with a special 30th Anniversary paint scheme designed by Hidetaka Tenjin

-the infamous Basara guitar – some new specs were listed next to it but still no price or release date yet.

-a ball-jointed Hikaru Ichijo doll (possibly 1:8) – while only preliminary designs were on display, the face/hair were looking promising.

-a VF-1 cockpit – presumably in 1:8 for the doll to sit in.

Unfortunately pictures were strictly prohibited and most of the above information is tentative at best, so watch this space for any future announcements!

The Macross VF Poll that was run on Facebook from January 16 to February 8 has ended and the results are in!

The classics are called so for a reason it would appear, as the good old VF1S placed first.
