Bandai Spirits has announced the commercialization of the DX Chogokin SDF-1 Macross, a large-scale figure measuring approximately 650mm (about 1/2000 scale) in total length. 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).
The DX Chogokin SDF-1 Macross is the first product in the 45th anniversary lineup for Super Dimension Fortress Macross. Bandai Spirits designed the figure at approximately 1/2000 scale, with a total length of about 650mm, making it the largest ship-class item in the DX Chogokin series. The transformation between fortress ship and assault mode is achieved without replacement parts, and the proportions were developed by referencing setting drawings and illustrations by Kazutaka Miyatake as well as footage from the anime.
The light-up gimmicks are triggered by bringing the included bow of the Kerkaria near the chest and legs. The living block changes lighting over time, cycling through morning, noon, evening, and night, and can randomly transition to emergency mode. The Daedalus and Prometheus sections are separable; the Daedalus can open its bow hatch and deploy a ramp. The set includes three Monster Destroids and five Tomahawk Destroids to recreate the Daedalus Attack. Four VF-1 Valkyrie/Super Valkyrie units at the same scale as the Macross ship are included, and displaying them on Prometheus's deck emphasizes the ship's scale.
Pre-orders begin at general retail stores on June 1, 2026. The figure is scheduled for release in November 2026 at a price of 99,000 yen (tax included).
