GEEK Magazine Article featuring 80's Mecha Toys

vf1x · July 3, 2013

Hi guys, I just wanted to give you a heads up on an article I wrote for the print version of GEEK Magazine that's now making its way to the GEEK Magazine website as an 8-part series all this week. Most of the toys pictured are provided by our very own MacrossWord member, xstoys (Tony).

Getting more of what we love (that's 80's mecha) in mainstream media is a challenge. I'm hoping that we can get more mecha toys in mainstream publications so clicking on the following links and hitting a like and/or share button would help me show the publisher that readers do want to see more on this subject. This article goes beyond the scope of this forum and covers more than Macross, but the more I can push of this genre, the more Macross I get to cover!

Take a look at the article here:
