Max Sterling - Robotech / Macross by Matchbox 1985

Max Sterling -  Matchbox 1985









Amazon Link:




I found the Max Action Figure on Craigslist. This guy was selling his whole collection of Robotech Figures. Max Action Figure was really hard to pose, and had very loose elbow joints, but overall, a good figure. After nearly 25 years, I'm happy to add him to my collection.


BIGMANILA






Maximilian Sterling



Orphaned during the Global War, Max nonetheless had an avid interest in flying and military technology, although he originally had no interest in joining the military. At the launch festivities for the SDF-1, Max and his friend Ben Dixon found themselves caught up in the opening battle of the first Robotech War. 






ROBOTECH DEFENCE FORCE - Max Sterling























Max Sterling - ROBOTECH RDF






















Rescued in the midst of the first fight against Zentraedi forces, Max earned his first ride in a veritech fighter. Many of the civilians stranded aboard the battle fortress, Max volunteered for the effort to rebuild Macross City inside the ship. Due to boredom, both he and Ben Dixon volunteered for the SDF-1's military forces and began training as veritech pilots several months later.






Robtech - Max all Geared Up





From early on, Max was recognised as a true aviation prodigy, a pilot with some of the most natural flying skills and instincts. His potential earned the attention of Roy Fokker, the SDF-1's air group commander, who then assigned both Max and Ben to the newly-created Vermillion group under the command of Lt. Rick Hunter.

Max wasted little time distinguishing himself, as he notched nine confirmed kills in his first combat sortie in his trademark blue VF-1. But even his impressive skills were put to an ultimate test of survival during a reconnaissance mission that the Vermillion Group undertook to scout Zentraedi targets.





Max and Miriya























His fighting prowess eventually gained the attention of Zentraedi Quadrano ace Miriya Parino, who then sought him out in a furious battle that found its way into the streets of Macross City. To Max, his defeat of the Zentraedi force's finest pilot made him marked for death by Miriya, who micronized herself in an effort to find him. After several near encounters, Max and Miriya finally confronted each other in a video game clash. The result was the same as before, and Miriya then tried to kill him during what Max thought was their first date.





Max and Dana





















Defeated once again, Miriya despaired of life itself. But incredibly, the two rivals fell completely in love and were quickly married. The union of Max and Miriya became an unlikely symbol of peace and understanding during the First Robotech War.





Robotech - Sterling Family





Daughter of Max and Miriya Sterling, Dana is not only the first child born from a union between the two races, but she is also the first child born from the womb of a clone. Dana is among the first graduates of the Robotech Military Academy founded in the aftermath of the First Robotech War.

Max Sterling

Age: 19

Rank: Lieutenant

Max Sterling is one of the many young men from Macross City who enlist in the RDF after his life was disrupted by the interstellar war with the Zentraedi. Distinguishing himself in his early training period, he is assigned to Rick Hunter's newly-formed combat squad. Max easily becomes the most promising pilot of a new generation of Robotech Aces. His technique is pure perfection when it comes to flying and fighting in the Veritech Fighter.

 Max was recognized as a true aviation prodigy, and his potential earned the attention of Roy Fokker, the SDF-1’s air group commander, who then assigned both Max and Ben to the newly created Vermillion group under the command of Lt. Rick Hunter. In the course of the war, Max's skills were put to an ultimate test of survival during a reconnaissance mission that the Vermillion Group undertook to scout Zentraedi targets. After escaping capture by Zentraedi under the command of Breetai, he infiltrated Breetai's battleship in his Veritech and disguised it with a Zentraedi uniform. Max then helped Rick and Ben pilot a Zentraedi battlepod back to the SDF-1.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - 7" Action Figure - April w/Mousers

2009 Comiccon Exclusive




Back of Package 

NECA proudly presents the special edition April O'neil action figure, based on the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic books created by Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman.(TheCollectorsLens.blogspot.com) April is fully poseable and comes with 2 of the menacing Mouser villians with articulated jaws. Celebrating 25 years of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with this exclusive set!


Back of Package




One of the best aspects of the San Diego Comic Convention is the overwhelming assortment of exclusives made available to attendees. The 2009 exclusive, which was available during the show from July 22-July 26.



















April's name itself came from Kevin's real-life girlfriend at the time who was named April, and I heard  she was black , although I could be wrong here. When it was mentioned to Laird, he basically said Kevin was lying. That April was always meant to be a caucasian redhead (hence the Irish last name). April appearance was changed in the comics compared to the real life April. I don't know the real story, I guess we'll find out sooner or later. It does not matter to me she is still a cool character.









Top Back




In the original Mirage Comics storyline for Eastman and Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, April O'Neil (who originally sported a jumpsuit) was a skilled computer programmer and started out as an assistant for the villainous scientist Baxter Stockman. April O'Neil already proved in her teens a flair for computers and was a clever hacker. At the age of 27 years, her work began life as a laboratory assistant to Baxter Stockman, to which she helped program his Mouser robots, but when she discovered that Baxter was using his Mousers to burrow into bank vaults and steal from them, she attempted to flee Baxter's workshop and found herself in the sewers running for her life, with several Mousers in pursuit.




















Three of the Turtles happened to come across her and save her and brought her back to their lair, where she would meet Splinter and found out about their origin. With her new friends, she returned to Baxter's hideout and defeated him. The Turtles later successfully fended off a Mouser invasion after Baxter programmed the Mousers to attack them. As the series went on, though their various adventures together, she became a closer friend to the Turtles and their link to the outside world. The Turtles also lived for a time with April when Splinter disappeared.






















After leaving her job with Baxter, she decided to reopen her father's antique store she inherited 'Second Time Around'. During the Shredder's sudden return (What Goes Around... Comes Around!/Silent Partner/Return to New York story arcs) the shop came under attack by The Shredder and the Foot Clan (who had come for the Turtles), and was destroyed in the ensuing battle. April, the Turtles and their new friend Casey Jones had to escape to Casey's family farm house in Northampton, Massachusetts where she later had nightmares about the Foot Clan's attack.





















A relationship that greatly influenced April was that with Casey Jones. Initially, the two could not stand each other, but during these events she would know Casey better and in time take a liking to him. During the mid-90s, April would live with her sister Robyn for a while during the events of City at War and find out their father died. Looking for a new place to live, she just happened to find the apartment Casey was living in. Eventually she'd marry Casey and they'd raise his adopted daughter Shadow Jones together as a family.

Yellow Ranger













Trini Kwan 

Working out at Ernie's Juice Bar & Gym along with her friends. Suddenly the ground began to shake and Trini and her friends were transported to the Command Center. There awaited quite the sight, a blue head floating inside an energy tube. And even more incredibly, this being called Zordon, had selected them to become Power Rangers. Kimberly and Zack blew Zordon off, but Trini, Billy and Jason lingered.
























The highly anticipated final release from the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the Yellow Ranger. This special female Yellow Ranger sculpt is only available in North America through Bluefin Distribution and will not be featured in Asian markets. 






















Included are bonus accessories which can be combined with the Black and Blue titles, featuring the final components needed to complete the legendary Power Blaster Weapon. In addition to faithful proportion and advanced articulation, the Yellow Ranger features a variety of optional accessories, including 2 Power Daggers, a Blade Blaster, the Ranger Slinger and several hand sets for creating classic poses.

One of Trini's pet causes was the environment. She was always heading up drives to clean up the environment. Not only did Trini clean-up parks, but she also planted seeds for future trees as well. Trini was also involved in the Big Sister program which she did for her little cousin. Trini loves animals as well, trying to help strays find a home. Trini enjoyed life and made time to have fun. She had a wonderful doll collection, which Rita actually used one as monster. Trini liked to host food festivals; she enjoyed the picnics, carnival, concerts, masquerade balls, talent contests, dances and the beach. Trini was a big help behind the scenes of any school theatrical production





















Trini enjoyed various athletic venues. Not only did she work on her martial arts, but enjoyed volleyball, scuba diving, mountain motor biking and basketball as well. During a sporting event at school, Trini helped her team win the Noble Lion Trophy. Trini was always up for the challenge of learning new skills. She took on the task of learning the style of the Mantis Kung Fu with her complete concentration.






















Changes on the horizon for Trini. A world teen summit was coming to Angel Grove and was going to select three teens from Angel Grove to attend the world Peace Summit in Switzerland. Trini, along with Jason and Zack, was selected to attend. Trini had served the Rangers well and, with Zordon's blessing, she transferred her power to Aisha Campbell and left for the world Peace Summit.

Zack Taylor was a student who attended Angel Grove High School. A very enthusiastic, upbeat person, he was very close with his friends Jason Lee Scott, Billy Cranston, Trini Kwan, and Kimberly Ann Hart. Zack is a prankster and particularly enjoys holidays such as Halloween, to scare his friends; in contrast he was greatly afraid of bugs and snakes, a fear he partially conquered when he fought the monster Spidertron. He enjoys dancing at every chance he gets, and even developed his own fighting style, Hip Hop Kido, which he occasionally taught.




Zords

  •     Mastodon Dinozord
  •     Lion Thunderzord 
























Arsenal

  •     Wrist Communicator
  •     Power Morpher
  •     Mastodon Power Coin
  •     Blade Blaster
  •     Power Axe
  •     Dragon Shield
  •     Battle Bike 














When Rita Repulsa had been released and her intention was to take over Earth, Zack and his friends where chosen by Zordon to defend Earth as the Power Rangers. Although initially dismissive of being chosen, Zack soon discovers that he is right for the job. Zack became the Black Mighty Morphin Power Ranger, and was inpoered with the Mastodon Power Coin and the Mastodon Dinozord.



Note:


A Mighty Morphin Power Rangers fan may have noticed that Zack is actually missing a finger. Although it would be an awesome story if he lost it in a battle with one of Rita or Lord Zedd’s creatures, actor Walter Emanuel Jones actually lost it in an undisclosed accident when he was four years old.


Later on, a peace conference was soon held to be attended in Switzerland, and only three teenagers were selected to go. Zack, along with Jason and Trini were selected. With his zest for living, upbeat attitude, and charm, Zack was a natural choice at the peace conference. Three of their friends, Adam Park, Rocky DeSantos, and Aisha Campbell would replace them as Rangers. Zack's last Ranger mission was to find the Sword of Light, which he would use to transfer the Rangers' powers. Adam became Zack's successor as the new Black Ranger. His current whereabouts are unknown but it is possible that he may have returned to his normal life.
