Macross

Macross is the Japanese science fiction mecha anime franchise created by Studio Nue (most prominently mecha designer, writer and producer Shōji Kawamori) and Artland in 1982, beginning with Super Dimension Fortress Macross. It spans four TV series, nine movies and six OVAs, all produced and sponsored by Big West. Humans reverse-engineer the technology of a crashed alien starship to build transforming variable fighters, the Valkyries that most kits and figures here are based on.

How to choose

HG 1/100, Hasegawa 1/72 and PLAMAX are kits you build yourself. HI-METAL R and Soul of Chogokin are pre-built diecast figures for display and posing. Prize figures are pre-painted, fixed-pose and the most affordable way into a character sculpt. Product titles name the series, such as Macross Frontier, Macross Delta or Macross Plus. Availability changes as makers reissue and retire items, so check each product page for the current status.
