New 1/100 scale transformable Variable Fighters and 12" action figures. Today at the International Toy Fair, Toynami revealed two new Macross assortments: their Macross 1/100 Scale Collection of Variable Fighters and a line 12" Macross action figures.
The Macross 1/100 Scale Collection will feature approximately 6" tall fully transformable figures that can be converted into Fighter mode, Battloid mode and Gerwalk mode. Each 5th panel window boxed figure will pack a wealth of accesssories and weaponary including missile clusters, gunpod rifle, and alternate hands. A display stand will also be included, allowing you to dynamically pose your Variable Fighter on in all three modes.
The first assortment, slated to hit retail this July for a SRP of 20-$25 each, will consist of:
* Roy Focker's VF-1S
* Hikaru Ichijo's VF-1A
* Max Jenius' VF-1A
Assortment 2, due this fall, will star:
* Hikaru Ichijo's VF-1J

A third assortment this winter will round out 2006, with many more planned for 2007 and beyond. These will be distributer worldwide (except for Japan.)
In other Macross news, Toynami and PopBox Collectibles (who designed the flight suit and will help with distribution) have collaborated on a new series 12" action figures. Hiraku Ichijo will launch the series this April for a SRP $79.99. Each intricate figure in this series will star over 30 points of articulation, a detailed flight suit, dog tags, and a life-sized uniform patch; all packaged in a collector's window box. The next confirmed character to be released in 2006 will be Max Jenius.
