Macross (Robotech) fans will enjoy this cool SDF1 toy from Master Made. The SDF1 Makuros gets the cute super big head treatment. The Makuros is also transformable and has articulation. It comes with a neat base stand and two Veritechs with stands.

Just what does it take to become a Comic Artist? Tomas Overbai explains everything to Ramen and Half‘s host, Eddie Ballar, what got him into comic art and eventually comic story telling with his upcoming Book One of ICHIDO – a post apocalyptic science fiction fantasy comic where a threatened Empire goes to war utilizing the traditions of kung-fu fighting and futuristic advanced robot warfare. The comic is like the battles of a Shogun Empire meets Robotech!

As a kid I could never get the G.I. Joe Skystriker and because of Robotech and Top Gun, I wanted this toy even more. When Hasbro re-issued it 2011 for it’s 30th Anniversary, I was able to pick one up. I think this is one of the coolest G.I. Joe toy vehicles ever. And now fans have been building really amazing custom Skystrikers.

I have to say some of the coolest pop songs in 1980s and early 1990s were from cartoon TV shows. Every once in awhile, I can be humming along these cartoon theme songs. Thanks to YouTube now, everybody gets a chance to relive the experience and do some karaoke cartoon show tunes. So, here’s my Top 40 list of the best cartoon theme songs from 1980s thru the early 1990s.
1. Saber Rider & The Star Sheriffs – There’s no better chessy glamrock song than Saber Rider & The Star Sheriffs.
2. Jem & The Holograms was truly outrageous.
3. Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers – “no guts, no glory!” The theme song makes me want to do some electric air guitar.
