It’s a giant, cardboard SDF-1! Assembly damn well required. The Evil King Macrocranios takes us through all the steps here.

I’m not sure how sturdy the Matchbox toys were, because I never had any, but they sure do look good. The Robotech action figures are nice, too—fully articulated, like G.I. Joe. The line was not marketed or stocked well, and simply couldn’t compete with the Transformers.
For those who missed it, be sure to check out Matchbox’s hilarious women of Robotech commercials.
Robotech Coloring & Activity Book (1985)
Published September 16, 2013 Coloring/Activity Books , Robotech 7 Comments
I’ve seen two versions of the book, both from 1985. I just got the one above. I’ll scan in the rest of the pages if there’s enough interest. What’s with the “humid climate offensive squad” on page 10?
The version below is on eBay. At least some of the content is different based on the sample pages on display.
Is it too late to sign up?
The ad comes from zombikaze, who also gave us this 1986 convention program.
