DECULTURE! MWCon’s First Art Show

Post author By EXO
Post date October 10, 2013

In our efforts to expand the experience at this year’s Macross World Convention, we decided to add on an art show that would allow well known artists in the pop culture circuit to interpret the Macross Universe in their own unique style. This show featured some amazingly talented artists, who include Heejin Park, Maria Vitan, Cole Lemke, Mary J. Hoffman, Tou Vue, Sho Murase, Danny Doublin, as well as a few familiar names, Jerome Lu, Chito “KWESTONE” Arellano and Tracy Tubera.

Though many of the pieces sold at the show we do have a few left that is now available for those that couldn’t make it to the convention. Check out these artist’s pages and if you’re interested in any of the artwork, please email art.macrossworld@gmail.com to make a purchase. Each piece does come framed and ready-to-hang. Please be aware that prices do not include shipping.

Arcadia YF-19 mecha porn released

Post author By EXO
Post date October 3, 2013

Back in June, it was announced on a flyer within the newly released Macross Plus Blu-Ray that a new 1/60 YF-19 was due early next year from the newly christened Arcadia Toy Company. This will be the first new mold of a Macross Toy since their debut in the beginning for the year. With a price point of 34400 円 in Japan, this will be one important test in the new company’s venture into Macross Toys. But the positive buzz within the fandom has made this one highly anticipated toy. And with all the accouterments it comes with, it’s hard to resist even at the high cost… not to mention it’s (expletive) beautiful!

1/60 Perfect Transformation YF-19 with Fast Pack
“Macross Plus”

About 31 cm (12.2″) total length (fighter mode): 1/60 scale
Manufacturer: Arcadia
Price: 34,440 yen (%5 tax included) . To be released in April 2014

Update:

Good news… just heard from our new shirt providers and they said they can print the design on color shirts. The only thing they can’t print is the blue background with the text because the white ink would make it too expensive. So order yours in color, just put a note in the space provided or email us at macrossworldconvention@gmail.com.

Here’s our recommended colors:

Help support MacrossWorld Convention 2013 by purchasing our second fundraiser shirt.
