Soichiro Hoshi played the role of Brera Stern, a beautiful young boy who pilots the VF-27γ and uses acrobatic movements to confuse and repel Vajra (space creatures that attack Macross Frontier fleet) in the TV anime The Movie" Macross Frontier Macross Frontier (Frontier)" and "Macross F the Movie: The Fictional Diva, Itsuwari no Utahime."

This time, Mr./Ms. Yasushi, who has a deep knowledge of collector's item, tried out the new product "DX CHOGOKIN Macross Frontier VF-27γ Lucifer Valkyrie (Brera Stern machine)" and commented on the anime works that influenced him as a child and the new TAMASHII NATIONS products.

■ appeared in the long-awaited "Lucifer", the crystal of technological progress.

— DX CHOGOKIN “VF-27 γ Lucifer” has finally been released

It's finally on sale! There are several types of DX CHOGOKIN in VF-25 Messiah, and I thought, "Wow, that's great." During the dubbing of "Macross Frontier (Frontier)", we were often talking about DX CHOGOKIN, like, "My aircraft is coming out next time."

Such Among was feeling "and ... Damn not my Lucifer" like a (laughs).
So, I feel like finally.

- Actually I feel in hand What about

No, I will not elaborate ~! Deformation Toka is incredible! !

- Also previously it was difficult technically, has become to be able to at this time of the product

I There is a worth to wait for it!
"Lucifer" is I'm smart body is cool. So it does not ride an ordinary person in the aircraft to a fairly tricky movement even in the play ....
I will not ride in the Alto us (laughs).
So it's more like "moving with an image" rather than "steering"?

- Since it is a long-awaited, is try to deform the "Lucifer" in the hands of "Mr. Brera" Why

Oh, it was possible! !

My love machine, It was complicated ....
Strike FREEDOM GUNDAM (*The aircraft piloted by KIRA YAMATO, played by Mr. Hoshi in "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny") wasn't that difficult (laughs).
In conjunction with the Brera is to maneuver, but it is nice when you're deformed image. "Kaware!" Toka Toka remembrance can be modified only by (laughs).

But, not too small, not too large, but it is just a good size.
This it will defeat play. Try to deform by yourself,
Finally, I felt like I was riding Lucifer for the first time (laughs).
However, such as have been considered dense deformation mechanism I ... Kawamori supervision, it is amazing. Old days of animation, but I think that thing called because a picture can deformation there were many if anything, technology of recent toy is, I was impressed to the point that to be able to deform properly be such a robot.

■ SOUL OF CHOGOKIN GX-36 I was happy to buy the legendary giant Ideon.

- What those affected by the animation work was watching when I was a child

It is "Ideon"! Really I was addicted! !
When it was commercialized with the SOUL OF CHOGOKIN, I was happy to buy it. It's well deformed and united, isn't it?

- Do you or go to the toy may buy

You buy what you like.
Properly out of the box, you have to decorate the room to take a photo with a pause.
Youth I was making may Toka plastic model, but since was not who very good, I was well frustrated.

Dont the color also not painted on their own I those days, since the tool was also quite necessary ....
I wanted to make a plastic model of Lucifer, but I was patient because I heard that DX CHOGOKIN would come out. It was good to get out.
If there is a fondness because the character of the aircraft, who played on their own, I'm happy in the feeling "was finally out!".
Towards the fans I want to got in your hands!

■ I'd like to see "S-CRY-ed" released!

— We brought you a lot item the latest item from "TAMASHII NATIONS".

"Jumbo Machine Dar NEO MAZINGER Z" is big! !!
When I was a child, I was longing to Mazinger.
But design is simple, purely Is not it cool.
I want to ride Mazinger, but I don't have much chance (laughs).

"ROBOT SPIRITS

(S.H.Figuarts KAMEN RIDER DOUBLE Cyclone Joker in hand)
In Kamen Rider W, I like Fang.
Among riders these days, I really like MASKED RIDER KABUTO and have a figure of him.

(ROBOT SPIRITS
Is it a new product of the ROBOT SPIRITS? Only this is a prototype ...
Sale is not wait.
By the way do you Freedom does not appear in the GFFN?
GFFN of the lineup, but I've been ceased at Yale Strike (laughs).
Because really it is was good, waiting for the Freedom launch!

- Among the work that has been involved up to now, is there such as I want characters and mecha commercializing

I'd like to see something like "S-CRY-ed (*a work in which the main character Kazuma is played)" is released!
It is good to play something like fun Gashigashi.
Since never seen only the first form, I want to second Toka final form.

It is a want or "Gun × Sword" from it.
Saudade-of-Sunday I want out Toka (Hoshi's played by Michael Garrett is armor for boarding).

After that, Na or "Infinite Ryvius (※ plays the younger brother Aiba Yuki of the hero)" ....
I want a slightly larger CHOGOKIN!
Vital girder I want those Toka is also large (※ battleship that appeared in the play).

- Do you have any such products that are in the mood recently

Recently, I'm really looking forward to the Tristan Divider of the ROBOT SPIRITS.
Since Tristan was released earlier it can really was good!
I am happy that us to supplement the mechanical version up of also properly.

But it is good even if there is a robot figures, such as after the voice comes out ....
For example, Toka combat voice.
Wouldn't it be fun if you had a mechanism that you could imagine "I'm riding inside"?
It would be great if we could increase the number of collaboration item between robot figures and voice.
I wonder if more of such things is nice girl?

- Finally, please let actually touch tell us, such as thoughts of

It just may not contain dense deformation mechanism, but there is something quite complex and difficult, Battroid, Fighter, Gawoku, but it is a high degree of completion of each form.
Because smart in a stylish form I Valkyrie, but I have a vague image when the three-dimensional, it is this Lucifer is to there is also a sense of weight, it may have been firm.

To be honest, the more get lost or it is sufficient to decorate in any form, it is each is cool.
In addition, I think there is also convincing properly have character ride.

This "Lucifer" and "Messiah" is also a mechanism, but I think that it is possible to properly feel the presence of the Brera and alto.
I think that the fact that you can feel the world of "MACROSS" from this DX CHOGOKIN is the crystallization of the Mr./Ms. efforts of director Kawamori and all the staff who made "Macross Frontier", so there is something deeply emotional when you pick up a product like this.

"Lucifer" is either a strong is demonic image and say, the "Messiah," but is the exact opposite of the image, because I specifically in existence, such as will protect is placed near also towards the fan, if possible I am happy if me by.
