Starchild Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 This has always been one of my favorite Macross images. I first saw it back in the '80's when it was labeled "Robo War" ROBOTECH back in the day - but it MUST have existed before HG used it for posters and box sets. Anyone know where it originated from and where I might get a really high rez scan of it? Thanks -Star Quote
AcroRay Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Its probably from a menko card sort of product, or one of Ohsato Toy & Hobby's products. They had a lot of deco in that style. Alternately, it may have been from an anime magazine of the period. Those got a lot of excellent, original art. Quote
Ginrai Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Pretty sure that's among the paintings for Macross model kits/video releases/et cetera that got recycled a million times, possibly one of the Toshimichi Suzuki ones. Suzuki is probably better known as the president of Artmic. Quote
shiroikaze Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 (edited) I "have" it... though it has the huge "Robotech" title and fades to dark on top... It's basically a page from my 2002 ADV catalogue. [edit]Here's a preview, I can't seem to upload the bigger image I can upload it somewhere else if you still want it. Original Image Size: 2199 x 3156; Image scanned at 300 dpi. It's not exactly what you wanted unfortunately... Edited March 31, 2009 by shiroikaze Quote
terry the lone wolf Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 That image of the VF-1J is by far my favorite image of Robotech. I remember seeing it in one of the Comico comics' ad (maybe an ad for one of the FHE video releases of the Macross saga). The VF-1J was always my favorite Valkyrie. Quote

VF-18S Hornet Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 I have it on the 2nd volume of my Robotech Macross Saga VHS Tapes, back when Streamline pictures released it back in the early 90's, I still have it. Quote
Totoro242 Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Anyone know where it originated from and where I might get a really high rez scan of it? Thanks -Star This was originally a poster and was found in the issue of My Anime, December 1982. It is a jumbo fold-out poster and there's a little bit more at the bottom than previously seen on Robotech posters. Scanning it would be tough since its a fold out poster and has lots of creases. There are a few collectors that have the poster, I am one. If I can find a good technique for photographing folded poster, I'll get you a nice big pic.

Suzuki is probably better known as the president of Artmic. Its too nice to be Suzuki's IMO. The original My Anime poster is signed "SToshi" not ARTLAND like the Robotech posters. Quote
