A Harmony of Robot invaders.
It
was about 1986 onwards that a new force of merchandise hit the UK
shops, not only toy and hobby shops, but comic book stores and the
video shelf on high street stores. This too was a re-branding under
the trademark “Robotech” now in agreement with 'Revell' the
company 'Harmony Gold' had acquired the rights to 3 Japanese cartoon
shows, 'Super Dimension Fortress Macross', 'Dimensioal Cavalry
Southern Cross', and 'Genesis Climber Mospeada'. [More about what
happened to these 3 shows, will follow later].
Living in a village with its Hobby\toy
shop and News Agent, I needed to spread the search further afield, to
my two nearest cities which where Leicester and Nottingham (in the
East Midlands of England) to find more of what looked like Japanese
Imports!
[Searching was done on foot, to find
printed matter for the information, phone books, Yellow pages, comic
books, magazines, fanzines, toy catalogs! Nobody had a smart-phone or mobile\cell
phone, there was NO all knowing oracle called Google or Wiki! If you
wanted to find something out YOU did the detective work.]
