Time to break up the toy news for a bit and take a little history lesson.
Hiroshi Iwata was a producer for the original Super Dimension Fortress Macross series – a series beloved and berated by fans for its at-times-incredible, at-times-abysmal visuals, the result of round-the-clock blood sweat and tears. The book “Macross Graffiti” features an intriguing interview detailing his impressions regarding his experiences working on the show. It is always fascinating to read about the production history of the series and here we have another fine example, encapsulated in time, of the sentiments of the Macross staff as they look back on their struggle, still fresh in their memory.
These are some of the other Macross stuff which dont have an english name for the Dealer.

Dan Bickell’s CG VF-1
As a rule of thumb we’re not supposed to post any fan projects on the main site until is 100% done and is presented pretty well. But looking at these pictures our resident CG artist Dan Bickell posted, I feel like these are completed works of art. I’m almost tempted to print some of these on canvas and hang it on my wall. If anything they are officially the current wallpaper to my PC and cellphone! Thanks Dan!
