Why it matters
A 650mm transforming SDF-1 with separable Daedalus and Prometheus and a lighting sequence tied to the residential block is Bandai treating the anniversary flagship as a display centerpiece, priced around 100,000 yen, rather than a standard Chogokin release.

The figure is roughly 1/2000 scale with an overall length of about 650mm, transforms between fortress ship and storm attacker form without parts swapping, and carries light-emitting gimmicks in the bridge, chest, and legs.
Sample images of the DX Chogokin SDF-1 Macross went up on the official blog ahead of the November 13 release. The figure runs about 650mm in overall length at roughly 1/2000 scale, and the transformation between fortress ship and storm attacker form needs no parts swapping. Proportions were worked out as a three-dimensional object with reference to Kazutaka Miyatake's design drawings and illustrations and footage from the series.
The gimmicks run past the hull. Bringing the bow of the included Kerkaria close to the chest and legs starts a lighting effect, the residential block's lighting moves from morning through noon and evening to night, and the block shifts at random into emergency mode. Daedalus and Prometheus separate, and the Daedalus bow hatch opens to deploy a slope for the included 3 Monster and 5 Tomahawk Destroids.
