"Macross Frontier: Bandai's DX Chogokin Macross Quarter!"

Finally, here comes Macross Quarter!

From Macross Compendium:

The Macross Quarter, a Variable Space Carrier, which is the operational base of the S.M.S. in the Macross Frontier fleet. It is one-quarter the size of the current Macross class warship and approximately the size of regular carriers. Despite being equivalent to a 400m-class vessel, it has a transformation system allowing it to transform from a warship (cruiser mode) to storm-attacker mode (battle mode) for close-combat. The port side of the ship functions as an aircraft carrier. It boasts the of mobility and combat performance of a fighter even though it is the size of mid-scale warship. Colonel Jeffrey Wilder is the ship's captain.

Macross Quarter is easily one of the most impressive display piece in my entire Macross collection, not to mention the biggest.

It has high metal content, making it considerably heavier than the rest of the DX Chogokin line.

It also comes with these mini figures:



The one and only representation of Vajra as a toy :P

Gerwalk

Gerwalk?!! Yeah, it's pretty silly for a capital ship to have Gerwalk mode, but it does appear in the series!

And finally, the attack mode! Transformation is very easy... theoretically! The high metal content and super tight joints make it much harder~~ though there's not much of a risk of breaking anything...

He can also store the Carrier (ARMD-L) on the back with the use of an external connector...

... so that he can use both hands to fire the Macross Cannon!



Macross ships never looked so stylish............. :P



And here's the box:

Ordered this from Hobby Link Japan during their clearance sales and it costs only RM498 including shipping, compared to the retail price of RM880 in Malaysia! Good deal~~

"Yamato's QF-2200D-B Ghost Booster for VF-0S!"

Here comes Yamato's QF-2200D-B Ghost Booster for the VF-0A/S! The Ghost booster was seen prominently in the last episode of Macross Zero when Roy Focker and Shin Kudo piloted their VF-0S and VF-0A respectively in the final battle. Judging by the wickedness of their opponents, Ivanov and Nora, they are going to need all the help they can get!

On its own, it's not much of a sight... it doesn't transform or anything; just has some landing gears to pull out. But the reason for buying this guy is to attach it to my VF-0S!!!

Fighter:


Comes with additional assortment of missiles too





Gerwalk:





And my favorite of all... Battroid!!


Super wicked cool~~~~~



Bought this directly from Hobby Link Japan, costs around RM2xx.

"Banpresto's Macross Frontier Sheryl Nome SQ #1!"

Ok, we don't have to wait, here's the first figure from Banpresto's new SQ (Special Quality) line for Macross Frontier... and who else can it be but...

SHERYL NOME!

This is based on her costume from her elaborate concert in the Macross Frontier movie, which is a blend of the White Bunny and Black Bunny costume.

White or Black?





At some angle, she looks startled



Obviously they greatly exaggerate her assets!



And some angle, she's like an angel ^_^



Just like the DVD cover of the Macross Frontier movie~~

Costs RM98 before discount, which is a great price range to add more figures to the growing Sheryl army! :D

"Macross Frontier: Super Parts for VF-25F Alto Custom!"

It's New Year's Eve and here we have another purchase: the Super Parts for VF-25F Alto Custom! Before this, I have two versions of Alto's valkyrie: the Movie Version Super Messiah and the Tornado Messiah. We sort of got conned by Bandai because the "Movie Version" was never in the movie. I still like it a lot, but was always longing to have the accurate version of Alto. While participating in the local Macross forum, I came across a guy who was selling off a brand new Super Parts for a good price of RM180. So I removed the Tornado Pack from the VF-25F and now we have the iconic, the real, TV-accurate, movie-accurate Alto's VF-25F Super Messiah!

Simple box to contain the super parts and the stand

Fighter:







Gerwalk:




Battroid:



Alto the Kabuki performer! :P





Without the super parts:

Battroid:


Waiting for his vajra meal

Gerwalk:




Fighter:

Getting the Super Parts made me feel as if I just bought a new valkyrie! The only problem is, I can only display either the Tornado Pack or the Super Pack at one time~~ :-S

Flying again with the rest of Skull Squadron-- just as he was meant to be!
