It seems like the well known figure/toy company acquired the Robotech (Macross) license via Harmony Gold/Funimation. While I don't want to give any money to HG, Threezero is established toy company making a bunch of Transformer figures and other Anime figures. Something to keep an eye out for.... Probably it's gonna be non-transform action figure type Their website

https://www.threezerohk.com/product/kaiju-dou-godzilla-1974/ To celebrate the 70th Anniversary of GODZILLA (1954) and the 50th Anniversary of GODZILLA VS. MECHAGODZILLA (1974), threezero is proud to announce the KAIJU-DOU Godzilla (1974)! The figure stands approximately 9 inches (22.9 cm) tall and is made with a die-cast zinc alloy and engineering-grade plastics internal frame system. A single piece of outer “skin” seamlessly covers the frame system. It is exceptionally posable, with approximately 26 points of articulation, including adjustable mouth, and a fully articulated tail. Its precise and incredible details are sculpted by Takeshi Oka, faithfully replicating Godzilla’s appearance as seen in the film. KAIJU-DOU Godzilla (1974) has many special features to enhance playability. Pressing the button hidden underneath the chest area triggers Godzilla’s iconic roar sound, and the LED-illuminated dorsal plates will light up when pressing another hidden button. These two features require three AG3 batteries to operate (batteries not included). The Heat Ray effect accessory, which can be placed in Godzilla’s mouth, faithfully replicating his signature attack move. Additionally, KAIJU-DOU Godzilla (1974) includes two broken transmission towers, which can be placed in front of his chest, mimicking the classic scene where the transmission towers attach to his body using magnetic force after absorbing lightning energy. Also included are three sets of interchangeable hands, which allow for a wide range of display and posing options!

As far as I can see there isn't a thread on it, and there should be because it looks all kinds of awesome. not for everybody but it looks like its going to be sweet. its like a blend of super robot, mecha, and samurai-ish aesthetics. also robots with capes are almost always cool. toy wise its 18" tall and 100 points of articulation and includes the pilot figure (and will be wildly out of scale with anything remotely macross because it seems the pilot is between 5-6" tall or so).... i don't usually collect random stuff but sometimes cool stuff happens. gonna try to get myself one of these. i wish there was some supporting fiction or art other than that video. http://gundamguy.blogspot.com/2013/11/bandai-x-threezero-x-kunio-okawara.html
