BANDAI DX Chogokin GE-48 "S.M.S Transformable Space Attack Carrier Macross Quarter from the Macross Frontier series.
Well,to start of,I'm not too familiar with the chogokin(I'm not an expert in this but what my friend tell me "chogokin" means the product have metal joints or metal composite parts)series.In fact this is my first time reviewing one.So I will make the review as I see fit.
Well first off,when I get the quarter,I noticed that the box is quit big.Well not as big as some of the other Gundams I have but its quit noticeable.When unboxing,the Quarter comes in 2 clear plasctic trays and 1 styrofoam box.The Quarter display stand comes in 1 tray,and the Quarter left and right hand weapons are on another tray.Quarter also comes with the skull squadron fighters and off course a Vajra.
Quarter's right hand weapon like you can see from the picture below is actually a nuclear submersible carrier/missile carrier:
Quarter's left hand weapon(actually more of a big a** sword and/or shield if you watched the anime)is actually an aircraft carrier like you see in the picture below:
Okay,now to review about the Quarter itself.After a bit of assembly,the Macross Quarter is ready for display or play(I myself will play with all my toys before i actually display them :D).Quarter is quite heavy because of all the metal parts.Quarter can transform from Space Cruiser mode and/or robot mode.Quarter can stand on its own without the help of the stand in robot mode but not in cruiser mode.You need the stand in order to display quarter in Cruiser mode.And thats why Bandai include the stand in the package :)
Picture time.First off,Quarter in cruiser mode.In cruiser mode,Quarter is at least 50 cm long(Yes quite long,you need a large display cabinet or space for this baby)
Quarter in robot mode.In this mode,the right hand weapon(the nuclear submarine)is a big a** particle cannon and the left hand weapon(the aircraft carrier)is a big shield and/or a big sword.In order to fire its main cannon properly Quarter will put the shield on its back.
The cigarette box is put there so that you can see how big this thing actually is :)
To sum everything up,this is a must get for any hardcore Macross Frontier fan.The price is kinda high for a toy but the amount of detail and quality they put into this piece of art is magnificent.Its highly detailed,lots of metal parts and solidly built.
{EDIT:Added more pictures of Quarter,picture taken by Drecker of course :D]
