Thanks. That's the same thing Tochiro told me. But it's not what I remember. The art doesn't look like that and the headset that he's wearing is not the same. And I didn't remember reading it in a Koro Koro Magazine. But, if that manga featured the VF-1J in that Deep Diver Equipment Configuration, then maybe that's the one. But to be honest, when I saw those images it didn't click in my head. If only those books were with me here in the states, I could scan it and show it to you guys coz it's a cool story ala-Build Fighters. And that Bull (Regult) Fighter I mentioned earlier is really awesome. Quote
Major Tom Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 Hey no3Ljm The original images came from Macross Hobby Hand Book 1: Quote
jvmacross Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 I think @no3Ljm already knew the book source... I should have some time over the holidays to look through some more old school mags....I seem to recall what you are describing.....just have find the right issue....the color comic mag was close but I remember another mag having the same thing.... Maybe that TV kun(?) mag Quote

jvmacross Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 TV-Kun furoku, September 1983 - VF-1S "internals view" cardboard standee Quote
Bariaburu Faita Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 These furoku are exceptionally rare since they were usually built by the kids who bought the magazine, very few exist in collectible form these days. Quote
jvmacross Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 I will never know exactly how many were made....each issue seemed to have come with something similar...but they were not all Macross....and there were at least 3 or 4 different "kids" magazines in publication during the SDFM era that contained them.... Currently, their appearance on the Japanese auction sites or Mandarake are few and far between...... They are among my favorite Macross collectibles....between myself and a few other collectors, we probably have "most" of them, but again, we will never know how many actually comprise a complete set of Macross furoku..... A dream book of mine would be a series that covers ALL of the various Macross collectibles from the SDFM/DYRL era.....it'll probably never happen Quote
Bariaburu Faita Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 These are also high on my want list. Quote
jvmacross Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 I may have some extras if you are interested PM me Quote
jvmacross Posted September 24, 2021 Posted September 24, 2021 Just going to add this here...... Vintage Toy Industry magazines Toy Journal - December 1982 Toy Journal - December 1983 Quote
Shawn Posted September 24, 2021 Posted September 24, 2021 Wow, I love thse old pics. We know people have all these old pics(old toy shows etc), someday it would be nice to see them somewhere. Quote
jvmacross Posted September 24, 2021 Posted September 24, 2021 yeah...you'd think there would be more posted on Japanese websites....kind of like when you do a search for old pics of Star Wars store displays Quote

Swann Posted October 27, 2022 Posted October 27, 2022 Orguss cover. Tina and Kei making love to KISS's Who Wants to be Lonely. Or maybe Bootsy Collins I'd rather be With You. Bought this a couple years ago. The item is rare to find. It is a oddly of an item. Macross/Orguss variety cards booklet ( making love cover ). There are not just hugging and kissing. Not even a sexy " Bootsy's I'd Rather be With You " Orguss cover. Could not even steal the thunder of Macross. Orguss got two pages and a front cover. Macross got about four pages and and back cover It was like "Orguss who ?". In this oddity of an item. Quote
jvmacross Posted October 27, 2022 Posted October 27, 2022 Never watched Orguss...so not sure who those characters are....but it can't possibly beat the cringy kiss between Minmay and her cousin Kaifun....lol Quote
jvmacross Posted November 30, 2022 Posted November 30, 2022 One of the best covers...but unfortunately, iirc, not heavy on Macross content Quote
