Anime fans had it pretty good in the early 80s. From late October 1982 to June 1983, the original Super Dimension Fortress Macross enthralled viewers with a space opera that took place on a Earth and on a massive alien space ship that was rebuilt by determined humans after a 10 year period. Just in time too, since the Zentradi came a-knocking soon after the rebuilding effort was completed. To fill the childhood dreams of every Macross fan in Japan and abroad, Japanese manufacturer Hobby Wave has announced a 1:5000 scale SDF-1 toy that's constructed of ABS, PVC, and die-cast metal. The ship measures 24cm or 9.44 in length from fore to aft. That's not all folks. The SDF also transforms from battleship to robot form as seen in one Macross episode where the power circuits had to be connected in order to fire the main cannon. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid February 2008 at US$165.
