The figure is the first product commemorating the 45th anniversary of the anime Super Dimension Fortress Macross. It reproduces the transformation between fortress ship and assault mode without requiring replacement parts. Light-up gimmicks are installed in the bridge, chest, and legs; bringing the included bow of the Kerkaria near the chest and legs triggers lighting effects. The living block cycles through morning, noon, evening, and night lighting, and can randomly switch to emergency mode. The Daedalus and Prometheus sections are separable. The Daedalus can open its bow hatch and deploy a ramp, and the set includes three Monster and five Tomahawk Destroids to recreate the Daedalus Attack. Four VF-1 Valkyrie/Super Valkyrie units at the same scale are also included. Pre-orders open at general retail stores from June 1, 2026, with a release scheduled for November 2026 at a price of 99,000 yen (tax included).","why_it_matters":"At 99,000 yen and 650mm long, this is the largest and most expensive DX Chogokin release to date, and the first product in the Macross 45th anniversary lineup.","published_at":"2026-05-25T06:45:45.000Z","source_count":3,"sources":["Denfaminicogamer","Dengeki Hobby Web","Inside"],"citations":[{"source":"Denfaminicogamer","title":"Approximately 650mm long \"SDF-1 Macross\" super alloy figure announced for commercialization.
