    Kind of an autopsy on the company too... Academy Comics only held on to the Robotech license for about 2 years and folded shortly after Harmony Golden revoked it. Like most of Robotech's licensee pool, they were a real amateur hour outfit.

     

    If you feel so inclined, go ahead and share your tale of disaster and woe.

    IIRC, those two titles have a combined issue count of just three and were both canceled basically immediately.

    Like the Matchbox figures

    I did say it was a low rent knockoff... but yes.  It's more apparent in the Fighter mode, where it has the delta-esque profile with forward-swept winglets.

    One of the reasons HG has avoided reprinting so many of its old Robotech comics is because of just how much copyright infringement was going on.  Their licensees "borrowed" from whatever the flavor of the month was.

    And made up silly characters too. Like the carebears.

    ... what critics?  I assume Yonny Tune, Mevin KcMeever, and Yeve Stune from the review site Garmony Hold ASU? :rofl: 

    Or are we in full on Sue Donym and Alan Smithee territory for this alleged acclaim?
