Tokyo TOY SHOW 2008 June 19

Just scroll down a bit you'll find VF-25 proto, several VF-1, and the Nyan-Nyan mascot.

Yum on MP-7 too which Shoji Kawamori also designed. (With signature hip kibble.)

Basara is fighting? That'd be strange.

Yeah, he has a pretty unique fighting style (tag everyone with speaker rounds, then Guitar Hero them into confusion/raving fandom while trying to not get shot down). I wonder if they'll actually have this mechanic for his missions?

Bandai is releasing a 1/60 scale (perfect transformation) VF-25.

Here are pictures from the latest Hobby Japan mag. Enjoy!

<SNIP Tomahawk>

Awesome! I can just imagine someone taking this puppy to a Battletech tournament!

he 's a lil' bit too large i'll say :heh:

Oh gawd, do want.

But I'd bring both the Tomahawk and the just announced Defender to a tourny to see the rage it illicits. :D

Klein win! I rather want the normal adult version from her in my collection, but this is also very cute.
Anyway, i'll buy a Klan figure. This is sure. And this version, or any other will be the lucky one... hmmm... dunno. :D

I would kill for english version of this game!!!!!!!!!!!

im still going to get it and play it on psp with my knowledge of chinese characters and limited japanes script

i want one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

I received my shipment of the first issue of the new Macross Chronicle today and I've had a chance to look it over.

As we all know, the Macross Chronicle is not one book but a series of loose-leaf style sheets inside a thin folder (with three-hole punch in each sheet). The first issue contains 20 pages and each issue is divided into specialty sheets titled Mechanic Sheet, Character Sheet, Timeline Sheet, World Guide Sheet, History Sheet, Technology Sheet, Gallery Sheet, Song Sheet, Goods Sheet, and four other miscellaneous sheets named Glossary, Tribute, Making and Extra Sheets. Each Macross Chronicle issue is made to fit inside a Macross Chronicle binder (sold seperately) which features dividers for 7 categories; Mechanic, Character, Timeline, History, Technology, World Guide and Special.

Macross Chronicle Issue One details the VF-1J Valkyrie, including a 2-page fold out painting of the fighter mode in high detail colors, drawn by Tenjin Hidetaka (known for his beautiful Macross art work on the Hasegawa model boxes and his own Tenjin Hidetaka Valkyrie Artworks of Macross book). There is not an abundance of line art to be found here but the VF-1J section does include line art of VF-1J white/red in full color Fighter and Fighter ventral view, full color Battroid and Battroid rear view and full color GERWALK and GERWALK rear view. Also included are full color pictures for all modes of the Max and Milia variants of the VF-1J Valkyrie. Also included is the VF-19 Excalibur Custom Sound Booster (color Battroid mode only) sheet, Lynn Minmay Character Sheet, Haruhiko Mikimoto Gallery Sheet (with another 2-page fold out painting), Mash Macross II Character sheet, 1999-2004 Timeline Sheet, Sharon Apple History Sheet, Technology Sheet, Sheryl Nome Song Sheet, the old Bandai 1/55 scale VF-1J transformable toy Goods Sheet, a subscription sheet and a Yamato advertisement sheet for the VF-1A Valkyrie 1/48 scale Max and the VF-1S Super Valkyrie 1/48 scale Hikaru weathered.

Without a doubt the Macross Chronicle is designed to be a fan book. It's filled with plenty of flavor text, official trivia and is very colorful. It's designed to cover ALL aspects of the Macross universe, NOT focus upon only one facet of the fiction. So it cannot be emphasized enough that - based on the mechanic sections of issue 1 - the Macross Chronicle is NOT a replacement for the art books of the Macross Mecha, like the Shoji Kawamori Macross Design Works book for example. Other than the full color pictures, there is not a lot of extra line art to admire and most of the non-color pictures are small. However, since this is the first time we've ever seen the Macross mecha colored in a collected work, this book is a real treasure.

Speaking as owner of the Macross Mecha Manual, the coloring is definitely a step up from my own coloring work :)

Here's some sample pictures:

Looks Alto is much better than Basara according to the stats in the screen shot.

How can a shouting dude be better than a guy who plays guitar while flying a jet effortlessly!?

Because the Basara concept is retarded? :rolleyes:
It's basicly the only damn thing in M7 that i really dislike.
Controlling a plane with a guitar hmmz borderline, but then and singing, and piloting without a helmet and oxygene mask and pulling moves that would put several G's on your body... In my opinion the guy should have been blasted to little pieces in the frist real combat situation, only to be replaced by Mylene.

The Jamming birds concept with 2 seaters was much better as a whole to be honest.

Who wants?

:eyespin::eyespin::eyespin:

o_O

Yes please :D damn that looks sweet, i'd have to find another spot to place the dining table though :P

Oh my goddess. As if any standard sized Japanese homes would be able to fit that monster! (bad pun, I know).

Crazy otakus and their toys. Boy o' boy.

- Tak

And... supposedly, that Destroid Monster is... 1/60 scale.

:eyespin::eyespin::eyespin::eyespin::eyespin:

Hmmz maybe i should make my own version with working NERF guns, and then aim it at the front door :heh:

You've got to be kidding me.... I must be seeing things..:eyebrow:

*Rubs eyes*

That can't be possible!! Only those who have the space can buy THAT!! That monsta is even bigger than my flatscreen TV!!:twitch:

Not to mention that it'll surely costs about the same as my XBOX...:heh:

^ jajaja, i ll put it in my garden near the dwarf, the can protec the house from the bad spirit

And thus pretty close to scale with 40K figures.:D
