Hi guys, I just wanted to give you a heads up on an article I wrote for the print version of GEEK Magazine that's now making its way to the GEEK Magazine website as an 8-part series all this week. Most of the toys pictured are provided by our very own MacrossWord member, xstoys (Tony).
Getting more of what we love (that's 80's mecha) in mainstream media is a challenge. I'm hoping that we can get more mecha toys in mainstream publications so clicking on the following links and hitting a like and/or share button would help me show the publisher that readers do want to see more on this subject. This article goes beyond the scope of this forum and covers more than Macross, but the more I can push of this genre, the more Macross I get to cover!
Take a look at the article here:
Part 1 - Intro: http://www.geekexchange.com/mental-over-80s-mecha-metal-part-1-68693.html
Part 2 - Transformers: http://www.geekexchange.com/mental-over-80s-mecha-metal-part-2-the-transformers-68695.html
Part 3 - Voltron: http://www.geekexchange.com/mental-over-80s-mecha-metal-part-3-voltron-defender-of-the-universe-68697.html
Part 4- Robotech: http://www.geekexchange.com/mental-over-80s-mecha-metal-part-4-robotech-68699.html
Part 5 - Gundam: http://www.geekexchange.com/mental-over-80s-mecha-metal-part-5-mobile-suit-gundam-68701.html
Part 6 - Macross: http://www.geekexchange.com/mental-over-80s-mecha-metal-part-6-super-dimension-fortress-macross-68703.html
Part 7 - Mospeada: http://www.geekexchange.com/mental-over-80s-mecha-metal-part-7-genesis-climber-mospeada-68705.html
Part 8 - Mecha-Vations: http://www.geekexchange.com/mental-over-80s-mecha-metal-part-8-mecha-vations-68707.html

hot chicks killing things with big guns and swords... what's not to like? i watched it, enjoyed it but admittedly, was bored with certain parts of it. but overall it was VERY visually appealing and so, i rate it a "go and see but don't expect a good story".

i remember seeing this back in '01 on the old MW forums. i'm glad to see it's still going on. can't wait to see the finished product.
-
It was never released on DVD, not even the bootleg DVD's have the English dub.
But it was officially released here in the USA on VHS. The Japanese subtitles were even removed, so it's a clean video.
yea, i'm aware of this version. i used to have a bootleg video of it that i bought at a convention back in '87 or '88. that VHS tape has since gone missing. i wanted to get an uncensored version of DYRL dubbed in english. well, the search goes on!
-
cool, thanks for the info. anyone have a copy of it on DVD i can buy from them?
