Prepare for sortie, everyone! Introducing the "DX CHOGOKIN SDF-1 MACROSS" Super Dimension product sample, available in stores November 13th (Friday).

The package, with its handle, measures approximately 460mm wide x 320mm high x 210mm deep, which is already quite large, but the total height in its assault mode, including the base, is an astonishing 700mm! The dynamic transformation from a compact package to a gigantic robot is the true charm of MACROSS.

This item boasts the largest size in the history of DX CHOGOKIN,It features a mix of "heavy die-cast materials" and "small, pointed parts for intricate detail."This article will cover key points to keep in mind when playing."Points to note"I've picked these out.

When actually playing, please be sure to refer to the included instruction manual and the white sheet of paper that shows how to put the blocks back together if they come apart (described below).The instruction manual also includes a special interview with Kazutaka Miyatake (Studio Nue), who was in charge of the mechanical design for MACROSS ship and other mechs in "The Super Dimension Fortress MACROSS," and who also oversaw the entire production of this item!

Let's start with how to open the package.
Lay the package flat with the front facing the ceiling, cut the seal, and open it slowly. Avoid opening it with the handle facing upwards, as this may cause the blister pack to tip over.

The blister pack has a three-tiered structure: the top tier contains accessories such as two MACROSS Cannons, Daedalus, and Prometheus; the second tier contains MACROSS model itself; and the third tier contains the base and antennas.
The second shelf is heavy, so a belt is placed under it to help pull it out.As shown in the image above, firmly grasp the area near the blister pack with both hands and pull it straight up.

One of the features of this item is its light-up gimmick. It uses 8 LR41 button batteries in the head and left and right sides of the chest, and 6 AAA batteries in the left and right sides of the legs. The cover opens and closes with a Phillips head screwdriver. These are not included with the product, so please prepare them in advance.
*Please remove the batteries if you will not be using the device for an extended period.

MACROSS unit consists of three blocks: a central block and two side blocks. The left and right blocks are designed to detach to prevent damage. Please check that they are not detached upon opening the package. If they have come off, please reattach them using the procedure described above (this is written on a separate white sheet of paper from the instruction manual).

The scale is approximately 1/2000, and in its fortress ship configuration, it measures approximately 650mm in length.By removing the amphibious assault ship Daedalus (starboard side) and the aircraft carrier Prometheus (port side) and attaching the elbow cover parts, you can recreate the scene at the beginning of the story before docking. Dedicated display base parts for Daedalus and Prometheus are also included, allowing you to display all three ships together.

The intricately detailed included parts further enhance the quality and play value of this item. The carrier-based aircraft, "Valkyrie," "Super Valkyrie," "Destroid Monster," and "Destroid Tomahawk," are rendered in the same scale as MACROSS, and their level of detail is clearly evident when placed next to a 1-yen coin.

Additionally, spare parts for MACROSS Cannon tip and antennas are included. Please read the instruction manual for details on these small parts, and use the spare parts if any are lost or damaged.
* MACROSS 's bridge antenna mast comes in two types: molded color and clear material.

The head (bridge), leg engines, and the city area inside the leg cover on the port side (Prometheus side) are equipped with a light-up gimmick when batteries are inserted. The bridge antenna mast will light up all the way to the tip when replaced with a clear material one. The light-up reaction point for the leg engines is installed only on the starboard side (Daedalus side).By using the infrared receiver and transmitter located inside, both feet can emit light simultaneously.It works.

You can see details of the lighting effects, such as the city's lighting that changes throughout the day and the red-glowing emergency mode, in this video.

The Zentradi reconnaissance pod "Kerkaria" is included as a light-up switch part, and it can also be displayed on its own using the dedicated stand. The tip and legs are movable, and it can be posed in walking mode with the legs lowered vertically.

When you bring the Kercaria close to the light-emitting reaction point described in the instruction manual, it will emit light due to the magnetic force of the built-in magnet.Please point the tip of the Kercaria towards MACROSS 's light-emitting reaction point (be careful not to get too close to MACROSS itself and bump into it).If the batteries are inserted correctly and the power is turned on, it will light up without contact.

The fun of this item lies in being able to play with the gigantic MACROSS and its miniature carrier-based aircraft together. You can recreate the Daedalus Attack in an offensive configuration by deploying Valkyries and Super Valkyries on the deck, or you can place the Destroid Monster on top of the fortress ship and admire it with MACROSS bridge in the background, just like in the movie.

Now, this ship will transform into its assault type. Please have the instruction manual ready."It's dangerous, so please hold on to something nearby."

Transforming from a fortress ship (left image) to an assault type (right image) is easier if you proceed with the main body upright.Remove the antennas and various fixing parts from the bridge, and assemble the base for the assault type first.
We'll be showcasing some of the intricate gimmicks within the transformation sequence!
*The following explanations will generally use terms appropriate for the attack-type/humanoid form, such as "head" and "legs."

The bridges, which were previously extended to the left and right, are docked together at the base using movable arms to form the head.

At the beginning, under "How to fix a detached block," use the switch to spread the left and right blocks outwards, and rotate the central block 180 degrees.
*For clarity, the turrets and antennas of MACROSS Cannon and the Super High-Speed Electromagnetic Rail Cannon have been removed from the image.

On the inside of the legs, there are extension lock buttons for the legs and ankles. Pressing them releases the lock and extends each part. Please be careful not to pull or point the legs too hard when the leg extension lock is released (button is recessed), as this may cause the legs to detach.

Locking mechanisms are located throughout the body, including the hip joints, torso, and knees.Use the included support rod to deform the part, making sure it is locked in place as described in the instruction manual.At the same time, we hope you'll enjoy touching the actual product and "finding the buttons and locking mechanisms that blend seamlessly with the exterior."

The shoulders transform by opening the shutters, rotating the blocks, pulling out the joints, and lowering the shutters on the opposite side. This applies to both the fortress ship and assault type."Close the shutter to hide the gap and add detail."The structure allows you to enjoy the satisfying feeling of the shutter slide and the moment when the large shoulder blocks flip over, transforming the ship into a humanoid silhouette, all on this gigantic model.

"Transformation complete."

Under the supervision of Kazutaka Miyatake, MACROSS (Assault Type) was created with meticulous attention to detail, from the length of MACROSS Cannon and the balance of the limbs to the asymmetrical details!
As it became an offensive typeWith a total height of approximately 700mm (including the base), it has become one of the largest robot item in the history of DX CHOGOKIN.
*When using the offensive type, be sure to use the base and take care to prevent it from tipping over.

As a robot figure, it offers an absolutely incredible amount of playability! The arms have double joints at the elbows, and the forearms and upper arms have roll axes, and the shoulders can be raised above horizontal by opening the shutters. Daedalus Attack"Extend your arms forward."Of course,"Open your arms wide and swing your arms back widely." "Slowly lower both arms."You can have fun with a variety of poses, such as these.

MACROSS Cannon can be tilted forward in stages using a click mechanism, and the hip, ankle, and knee joints can also be angled. The dynamic movement of the arms and MACROSS Cannon, combined with the nuances of the lower body, creates the overwhelming sense of immense size that only MACROSS can embody.

The joints of the limbs are held securely by a click mechanism,When displaying the figure for extended periods, avoid posing it in a way that puts stress on the joints, and use the separately sold "TAMASHII STAGE" to support its position.

In its assault mode, illuminating the head, chest, and leg engines further enhances its power and realism. The chest engine also has a light-reactive point, and like the other parts, it glows bluish-white when the tip of the Kercaria is brought close to it.

By angled MACROSS Cannon slightly outwards, it can also be recreated in the style of "MACROSS City," a memorable scene from the latter part of the series and after the end of the Interstellar War. This DX CHOGOKIN that symbolizes the world of MACROSS simply by its existence.

The "DX CHOGOKIN SDF-1 MACROSS" will be available in stores on Friday, November 13th!
Everyone, prepare for the biggest shock in the series' history!
