Macross - Macross Toys, Characters and Figures

Following in the footsteps of several popular anime programs, Macross has become one of the most popular new animated series in Japan and around the world.  The animated series, called "The Super Dimension Fortress Macross," features a classic love triangle as a well as futuristic battle sequences.  The series takes place during the first war between aliens and humans.

Macross from Robotech is one of the most original and creative anime series in recent times.  Characters in the series use any means necessary to fend of aliens, including sweet-sounding pop music of all things.  The series is so popular it helped to make actress Mari Iijima into a pop icon in Japan.  Ms. Iijiima is the voice of singing sensation Lynn Minmay, an immensely popular character from the series.

The Macross series features a compelling love triangle between a young pilot who struggles with his affections for a pop icon and a fellow officer.  As the humans struggle to find their way back to Earth, they encounter dangerous and crafty aliens who are set on destroying them before they make it back home.  The series title  is a play on the word "macro," meaning large or massive, and is a reference to the large spacecraft used by the humans.

If you enjoy the series, or you've just discovered the series, you know how fun it is to collect Macross toys of your favorite characters.  On the human side popular characters include Hikaru Ichiiyo, Lynn Minmay, Roy Focker, Misa Hayae, Claudia LaSalle, Bruno G.
