NCS Product Synopsis
Update: August 3, 2009
«©NCSX» The third series of Shooting Game Historica gashapon toys celebrate a jetfighter, a tank, a submarine, and even a robot which can rest on 2 or 4 legs. The default ships featured in the new set are as follows:» Wolf Fang - Blue armored mech which carries a blaster rifle
» Raiden - Sleek Raiden mk-II (Red) with movable boosters
» Soukyugurentai - S.O.Q-004 Toryu with multiple movable parts
» Kaitei Daisensou: In the Hunt - Squat submarine designed by Irem
» Maneuver Cepter Granada - A blue tank with moxie and a gun turret
» Star Soldier - The Ceaser which features a transformable cockpit Each of the six aforementioned ships is also accompanied by a color or style variant in each box of 12 toys as follows below: » Wolf Fang - Model variant with shoulder cannon and no shoulder struts
» Raiden mk-IIb (Blue color variant)
» Soukyugurentai - S.O.Q-004 (Blue color variant)
» Kaitei Daisensou: In the Hunt (Blue color variant)
» Maneuver Cepter Granada - Model variant with two additional parts
» Star Soldier - Red trim color variant; the cockpit hatch is colored blue Every factory sealed box of Shooting Game Historica 3 SP toys contains all 12 ships listed above. Both versions of the Wolf Fang toy also include an additional pair of legs and a platform-pelvis to attach the legs to. The Wolf Fang figure may be detached at the torso area from his normal legs and then plugged into the platform-pelvis to create a spidery version of Wolf Fang that may be wheeled along like a little race car. Although the quality of the ships in SGH3 is good, NCS advises taking some precautions when fiddling around with the Soukyugurentai ships since the wing hatches are delicate. They also open only one way so take care to inspect our photos to see how the hatches should be oriented and opened. The other ships are pretty sturdy and unlikely to snap or crack under the weight of your fingers. NCS took about 200 photos of the toys over the weekend and we've culled roughly 70 pictures for our obligatory Shooting Game Historica 3 image gallery which shows all 12 ships.
Update: July 31, 2009
«©NCSX» The third series of Shooting Game Historica 3 gashapon toys was released on Wednesday in Japan and NCS received our entire shipment today. The complete roster of ships in the set is as follows:» Wolf Fang - Blue armored mech which carries a blaster rifle
» Raiden - Raiden mk-II (red) or Raiden mk-IIb (blue)
» Soukyugurentai - S.O.Q-004 Toryu with multiple movable parts
» Kaitei Daisensou: In the Hunt - Squat submarine designed by Irem
» Maneuver Cepter Granada - A blue tank with moxie
» Star Soldier - The Ceaser which features a transformable cockpit The blue Raiden mk-IIb was missing in the Shooting Game Historica 3 gashapon version from last month but it is included in the SP set. The mk-IIb is painted with a pretty pastel blue color and each of the other five ships also has a color or model variant. The default color for the Soukyugurentai S.O.Q-004 ship is red and its variant color is pastel-blue with shades of gray. The orange submarine from In the Hunt is also available in a light-blue model and the variant Ceaser features red trim instead of blue trim in the default model. The quality of the ships is admirable for the price point that they're offered at and we're pleased with Yujin's level of craftsmanship. Due to time constraints this morning (translation: Monster Hunter 3 arrived), a photo gallery of the original and variant ships will be posted on Monday morning. All preorders for the Shooting Historica 3 SP sets will ship today and new orders are welcome at US$68.90 per factory sealed box of 12 toys.
