Announced back in September at Tokyo game Show 2012, Macross 30: The Voice that Connects the Galaxy is seemingly the dream-team game on HD consoles that Macross fans have been waiting for. Featuring characters from all Macross series to date, as well as new ones, and a new Valkyrie designed by Shoji Kawamori himself, each new screenshot of the game looks better and better.

But what is the game actually about? And how is it that so many characters – both dead and alive – are going to make an appearance?

Here’s a roundup of what we know so far, along with screenshots…

An Interview With Robert Woodhead About AnimEigo’s Macross DVD Set

Post author By TheLoneWolf
Post date November 30, 2012

Although The Super Dimension Fortress Macross® is widely regarded as an exceptional anime series, it was never subtitled in English duing the 1980’s and 1990’s. Sure, Streamline Pictures attempted to subtitle the series in Robotech® Perfect Collection: Macross, but they went out of business by episode 16. Even flipping through old VHS fansub catalogues yields no evidence of any fansubs during that period. In 2001, the prayers of Macross fans were finally answered when AnimEigo® released the entire series subtitled. Since 2012 marks the 30^th anniversary of Macross, I thought it would be a good time to catch up with AnimEigo’s CEO, Robert Woodhead, for a retrospective interview about their acclaimed Macross DVD set.

Yamato posted these test shots of their upcoming 1/60 VF-4G Lightning in gorgeous black on their website. I gotta say, that color makes it look absolutely kick ass. I’m a sucker for these test shot, I think all toys look great in all black or gray. But you know, since these are all test shots and seeing that you’re done with it. How about sending me this one? I bought the white gloves and everything. I know you’re reading this Mr.K. On your iPad… in your boxers. I know cuz I’m looking at you right now!

‘Macross 30th Anniversary – First Attack!’ Ichiban Kuji Figures Revealed

Post author By Tochiro
Post date November 26, 2012

As previously scooped by forum user BlackAce, Banpresto will be releasing another batch of Ichiban Kuji figures next March as part of Macross’ 30th Anniversary (surely this has to mark the end of the 30th? Just how long does this Anniversary go for anyway???).

This time the figures will be based on the super-deformed versions of the franchises rockers and divas. Some initial sculpts were on display at the Firebomber 2012 concert (Tokyo gig only) and while the lineup was disappointingly lacking in Veffidas figures, some of the new additions stood out more than others….
