Collection DX’s Veef has posted a comprehensive account of his recent trip to Anime Boston, including a 55 minute movie of his panel on Macross Mecha ‘Flight of the Valkyries.’
Always great to see Macross out there getting some coverage. Got any feedback or comments for Veef? Join the discussion over in the FORUMS.
The second key visual image for the upcoming life-sized VF-1S cockpit has been revealed. Unfortunately it’s only a small sample image at this stage but expected to see it on a bunch of event merchandise come next month.
Check out this beautiful painting of Roy’s VF-0S from one of our Facebook fans, Prasit Ployphisut. The most amazing thing is that he did it on Adobe Illustrator, so this is a vector based image. Incredible!
Great job, Prasit!

Bandai debuts its perfect transformation 1/72 scale plamodel at the Shizuoka Hobby Show .
The kit is shown with the VF-1S Strike, the VF-1A Battroid, another VF-1S in fighter mode and what looks like another VF-1A in GERWALK. This is Bandai’s lastest version of the VF-1 since the 1/100 transformable toy. While the detail is impressive, there’s some huge shortcomings overall aesthetically. But with the lack of Macross products in the market, will this lone representation of the 30 year old design prevail in the market?
After a long wait, Hasegawa finally releases a CAD teaser for their upcoming 1/72 scale VF-25 Messiah from Macross Frontier. More info soon!
