Here we go again and Yamato, again at the time of departure! New version of the Space Battleship Yamato that recreates the appearance of the Yamato in the new 2022 series! A bit of history here, Yamato 2202 movie is the revival animation of the big hit TV animation in 1970, and sequel story of Yamato 2199's OVA. 

The Space Battleship Yamato as it appears in Space Battleship Yamato 2202 (Star Blazers 2202) is here as a 1/1000 plastic model kit, excellent as always from Bandai! Precise amazing detail as set up (those tiny turrets are my favourite), the completed size of length approximately 33 cm. Wave Motion Cannon and bridge features an 2 LED units for lighting effect gimmick just like in the movie. 

A new part reproduces the 4th bridge, great cabin, first and second bridge use the clear parts, gorgeous elegant remodelling and retooling of the vintage Space Battleship Yamato. The set is compatible with Action Base 1(sold separately) nevertheless it looks just as good on the special display base with foil stickers to be pasted optionally. 

Additional space for optional "Lighting Unit (White) 2 light type" with "Orange clear part" the emission of the engine can also be reproduced which I didn't procure. The main wings can be recreated by replacing the parts. I bought mine built and painted and I really like the weathering along those panel lines.  

Space Battleship Yamato Mechanic File

Suddenly crave for a carrier toy after watching Space Battleship Yamato 2199. Have watch the live action movie a years back but following the entire remake anime of the original proofed to hard to resist the merchandise. If you're a fan of the anime series then this is a must have. I was looking for a budget toy of Space Battleship Yamato and was lucky to get this toy or should I say toys from an assembly of 8 trading figure boxes, released back in 2005 by Bandai. Mine was procured within my budget, of course if you are going for a more premium piece, you can go for the chogokin version. For details and perfection, the 1/700 scale Bandai model kit is another option. 

 An entire 8 piece set of the parts configure the entire battleship. Each trading figure set are section and modular of the ship form inside out, its pre-painted and the interior (rubber like internal components) can be seen once the outer hull is removed. When put together it formed a 15" Space Battleship Yamato on black plastic stand. In comparison, this version is little smaller than a 1/700 scale Bandai kit. The set required some assembly with those main turrets on plastic model kit tree, other parts are snap fitted so there is no gluing needed. 2 other the trading box even come with pre-painted miniature rubber planes. 

Because of the 8 sections joined together, lines and gaps can be seen running the model. Another drawback is that when handling the model, it tends to comes apart and I suggest using blu-tag in securing those alignment stands. Most of the parts are matted but some gloss and plastic looking, so I had sprayed matte epoxy to even the surface.
