Southern Cross animation was given a second chance of revival when Gold Harmony from the U.S. readapt this animation together with Super Dimensional Fortress Macross and Genesis Climber MOSPEADA to form "Robotech" in 1985. Hence, Southern Cross is known as Robotech Master in the U.S. Under Gold Harmony license, Matchbox successfully issue the Veritech Hover Tank, Dana Sterling(a.k.a Jeanne Fransaix), Bioroid Invid Fighter, Hovercaft Bioroid, Zor Prime(a.k.a Seifried Weiss), Robotech Master(a.ka. Dess/Dera/Demi) and Bioroid Terminator in 1985. 

Hong Kong based company such as Kitz Concept and Kids Logic are producing Dana Sterling(a.k.a Jeanne) under Gold Harmony licence. Looking forward to see more Southern Cross toys after this.
