Here is a pic of the prototype.

I've been looking for more pictures of it as well. The photo I saw was in the last issue of Character Models. It was really small and the toy is still a white colored prototype. But it did show the Lion and Robot mode for Galeon.

Actually, I said a Fully Transformable Genesic GaoGaiGar toy is coming. It will be released by CM's corporation (who have gotten the Goagaigar License lately). A transformable GaoFighGar toy was released by Yujin eariler this year. It needs to have parts removed to achieve Final Fusion, but it was a pretty decent toy over all. I come across it on ebay sometimes.

The second Macross design book contains all the work done by Kazutaka Miyatake. That means designs for all the ships from Macross, Macross Plus, Macross 7 & etc.

Well... I guess the character is a bit obscure for people to recognize. The character is Abel from GAOGAIGAR Final OVA series. Originally the leader of the Red Planet and creator of the J-Ark, she appears in the OVA as the leader of the 11 Sol Planet Master. She may look 10 years old but she is much more than that!

C3 It is an annual model convention in Japan sponsored by Dengeki Hobby Magazine and Bandai. Because so, the kits produced are mostly Gundam (and other Bandai owned franchise). The convention just took place this past weekend. So tons of new kits from it just became available on Yahoo Japan. Photos for about 100 different kits have been uploaded into Hobbyfan's forum and can be viewed here: http://community.hobbyfan.com/modules.php?...viewtopic&t=240 A direct to link to Yahoo Japan is provided if you want to bid on them. *If you don't want to have the pics to appear on screen all together in one thread, you can also view them individually at the gallery here (but you will need to register): http://community.hobbyfan.com/modules.php?...lbum.php&page=1 Enjoy!

Okay...Okay... Here is a Hint: NOT a Gundam character.

Hi everyone, Recently, few modeling friends and I have the opportunity to take over running Hobbyfan.com's Message Board. Even though it is a store-attached forum, we have been given the word by Hobbyfan's owner that it can be run completely independent without the interference of Hobbyfan. We are working to establish it as a forum that will include ALL FORMS of model discussions and to become the most well-informed online resource for anyone who is interested in this hobby. Hopefully it can be a place where anyone's question can be answered and maybe even learn a few new things regarding modeling. I know that Macrossworld's forum have many members who are into model building and I think this would give everyone a place to see / show-off / discuss other non-Macross related modeling. I would like to openly invite everyone to come and join us. The forum is growing at a steady rate. You will definitely find more changes, interesting topics, discussions, news and more cool stuff coming over there. I have talked with Shawn and have gotten his permission and approval to post this in Macrossworld's forum. We both feel that model building is a shrinking hobby and we hope this will help spread the interest and benefit all who enjoys doing so. Please take a look at what we have done with it. Here it is: http://www.hobbyfanatics.com We hope many of you will give the forum a chance. Help people out with your knowledge! Teach everyone something new! Let others see your collection! Sell and Trade your stuff! Post, reply, upload pictures, and basically just to have fun! We would love to have you join in and participate! Sincerely, CHI/cwmodels

This is a full scratch-build figure I have been working on. Still in progress. It is based on a recent anime character (non-Macross). Wanna take a guess who this is?

Same name, same icon.
