NAMCO BANDAI Games Inc. has released a new simulation RPG for the PSP, the “Super Robot Wars Z Hen world again” second.
The new version to be released April 5 will feature Basara and Gamlin, as well as Alto.
The video should be set up to start where the Fire Bomber himself appears and then watch Gamlin destroy a Vajra. Rewind to see Alto.

The second model to be released by Hasegawa from Dengeki Hobby’s Macross The Ride Serialization is Chelsea Scarlett’s VF-11B “Nothung 2″, (the first being the “Rose GuryuneSilt’s Thunder Focus”.) Hidetaka Tenjin will once again provide the box art.

Cf18 posted a recent interview at the Japanese site, GA Graphics, with the toy engineers that is currently designing the 1/60 VF-4G Lightning at Yamato. Accompanying the interview is a good number of renders and CAD drawings. Some we’ve seen before, but now with much more clarity.

Once again, master model builder “Cool8or” has completed one of his beautiful pieces. This time he tackled another mech from MW’s own Captain America’s 1/72 line, the Zentradi Regult Scout Type. Not his first from that line, Cool8tor continues to showcase his talent and technique, not only choosing the beautiful colors for the standard scheme, but applying weathering that makes it hard to believe that what you’re looking at in these photographs are tiny scaled models.
0Member ahiachris posted that more super-deformed kits are going to be sold at the MetalBox booth. This time it’s the three remaining Destroids. The Tomahawk, Defender and the Phalanx.
We recently saw the Spartan HERE among the other Metalbox SD Macross kits. These new kits are seen in color as opposed to the recent pictures where all the samples were only primered. According to the MetalBox site, the kits paint application were inspired by the Arii model box art. Reading further using online translation tools, I’m judging that these will be unpainted, unassembled kits. We’ll find out Feb 12.
Check out the post HERE and then see the MetalBox site here.

A couple of weeks ago, VF5SS and I got together to discuss the 1/55 VF-1 Valkyrie toy, a highly influential, internationally bestselling and memorable toy from 1982, with a highly complex background to match.
For your listening pleasure, we hereby present the story of Takatoku’s masterpiece, the 1/55 VF-1, from prototype to toy, to bootleg, to reissue.
I believe a great deal of this information is new to English-speakers, since a lot of it is taken from the following Japanese sources: Figure Oh #130, #77 and #134; Model Graphix #318, and Shoji Kawamori Macross Design Works.
LISTEN HERE: Streaming version on Youtube.

2012 marks a special milestone for the Macross franchise. 30 years ago this October, Super Dimension Fortress: Macross was debuted on Japanese TV. Since then it has spawned sequels, movies, OVAs and countless merchandise including the unforgettable classic, the Takatoku 1/55 VF-1 Valkyrie.
To celebrate the anniversary, Bandai visual is releasing 2 box sets of SDF: Macross in Bluray. One as a standard set and the other is called the complete edition. Yamato has also announced that they are releasing a web shop exclusive of the long awaited VF-4 valkyrie in 1/60 scale. Stay tune we wait for more merchandise announcements through out the year.
Happy Anniversary from Macross World!
+1As part of Macross World’s celebration of Macross’ 30th Anniversary and this year coinciding with the year the Megaroad was launched as seen in Flashback 2012, we will be giving a special monthly video presentation. We start off appropriately enough with Angel’s Paint. The song and animation that features the footage mostly associated when discussing Flashback 2012. This unofficial version has been edited to run all the way thru the song, unlike the two parter found on the commercial release.
Enjoy!
