Arii’s 1/100 scale Regult Battle Pod from the Super Dimensional Fortress Macross TV Series is a great example. Manufactured and designed in 1982 this kit is one of the better kits from the line that builds up to a great representation of our favorite two-legged cannon fodder monster, although not without some minor faults.

Oh no! This is a training aircraft.

I am sure this was a memorable purchase for many at San Diego Comic Con 2009.

The Fold Booster & Fast Pack set completes the Yamato 1/60 YF-19

HD Video review included!

Yamato knocks one out of the park with the under-loved third wheel of the Macross Plus trinity!

Are you sick of Macross toys? Korea isn't!

At least it isn't tan.

While it would have been nice to see Max's movie-ver. VF-1S come out in 1/55 scale, this one is equally appreciated, and hearkens (if in appearance only) back to his VF-1A from the series which was white with blue trim (which also has not been make into a 1/55 Valkyrie yet).

Video review included!

This set is still great despite my biggest complaint being the trivial-only odd coloring of the Super FAST Pack.

"I'll sing with all my heart." Leonardo Flores reviews one of the Minmei figures from CM's Corporation's Minmei Super Series.

I’ll come forward and admit that Ichijyo’s coloring scheme and the head were never really favorites of mine, so there is a little prejudice there. But, I cannot say at all that [this] minor issue detracts in any way from the overall quality of the toy. I still love the Takatoku Toys 1/55-scale sets, and this set is no exception.

Video review included!

Even though 19 years have passed since its initial release, this set remains a solid example of quality Japanese toy engineering. Its proportions may not be completely show-accurate- the toys are often lovingly referred to as “chunky monkey”- but the die-cast arrangement, durability, and realistic transformation makes it a standout.

Multi-video review included!

With the impending release of Waves new Destroid model kits I thought I would go back and revisit an old favorite and reevaluate the 1/100 Destroid Defender "Angel Face" kit and see if our little fork-toed friend still holds up to today’s modeling standards.

VF-1S with SUPER and STRIKE Parts (Hikaru Ichijo) is the latest release from Yamato in their newer Macross line. While I am hard pressed to come up with new ways to discuss this fantastic line I do like it, a lot!

The Yamato Destroid Defender is really a fantastic toy, with the only drawback being the price. At about 9,800 yen (about $100 USD) this makes a huge dent in your paypal account, but it really is the Destroid you wish they made in 1985.
