KIKAN-TAIZEN, take off!
The collector's division's new brand KIKAN-TAIZEN will finally KIKAN TAIZEN from stores on September 23, 2017. It is a pre-Star Blazers finished product model that can be displayed immediately after opening. With high-quality modeling and painting, it is a gem to give to adult "Yamato" fans. Let's introduce the details by taking a picture of the product sample.

※ The image is taken of a prototype. Actual product may differ.
* This article includes the contents of "Star Blazers 2202 Love Warriors".

This is the package of "KIKAN-TAIZEN". Although it is compact with a total length of about 20 cm, it has a matte coating and has a luxurious texture.
"Stable wing deployment parts" "pedestal" "two exclusive joints" "pedestal leg parts" are attached to the main body of Yamato, tools to be used when exchanging parts and batteries are included. (When unsealing, please remove the protective sheet of the base)

If you hook the joint on the pedestal and dock it with the Yamato hull, the brave figure of Yamato, the last ship of hope on earth, will be revived. The total length is about 165 mm and about 1/2000 scale. Since the 3D data for the video of the latest work "Star Blazers 2202 Ai no Senshi" is also used for development, it makes you feel a certain image in the play as well as a presence unique to 3D.

The model photographed this time is a "product sample" that is one step ahead of the coloring samples that have been published so far. You can see that it is molded with the same material as the mass-produced product, and the sharpness has been polished. Yamato, which has become "KIKAN-TAIZEN" with almost this quality, will launch to the users.

What should be noted in "KIKAN-TAIZEN" is the detailed expression condensed to 1/2000 scale. By molding with strong ABS and polycarbonate without using soft materials, it has become possible to create thin and edgy molding down to the smallest detail. I would like you to come close to the real thing and feel the tension emitted by the rigid bridge, pulse laser, and various antennas.

Another noteworthy feature of this item is that it is an "all-painted model" despite its precision. In addition, along the panel line, a gradation coating that gives a profound feeling is applied. The painting expression, which is thin and gives a three-dimensional effect without spoiling the precise molding, makes use of the craftsmanship cultivated in the soul brand so far.

Three guns and two guns can rotate. A secondary gun in a compact and backstretched place is a specification that covers the attached "side accessory tool" and rotates it. As mentioned above all paint × Hard material, so in case of operation please handle with care.

Also, by replacing the parts on the side of the ship, the stable wings are deployed. The scene of Yamato starting from the seabed, which was finally shown in "Star Blazers 2202 Love Warriors", may be new to the memory even among fans. Yamato's breath that wakes up from sleep and revives with the story is also installed in this item.

Reflective sheet is affixed to the pedestal, and it reflects the opposite side and the bottom part which tend to be invisible. In addition to the pedestal body, the angle of the hull and reflection can be changed by two kinds of joints, a hull carrying a hull on two arms and a joint held by the side of the hull in place of a stable wing. Various tools for removal of parts and auxiliary gun rotation can be stored on the back of the pedestal.

It is possible to reproduce the bold and acrobatic fight that you showed when you change the angle as well as upside down.

Two slide switches are built in the bottom part, the wave muzzle in switch 1 of the upper image, and the bridge, side and wave engine on switch 2 light up. Let's watch the light quietly in the darkened room, in the vast universe, the light to small hope Yamato lights up.

Here, let's release a special test shot product of "Andromeda", which was lined up in the second installment of "Keikan KIKAN-TAIZEN". In "Star Blazers 2202: Warriors of Love", Andromeda has five sister ships as "New Andromeda-class ships". The lineup this time is "First ship Andromeda", which confronted Yamato as the flagship of the Earth Federation.

Although this test shot is unpainted, it is a molded product made of the same material as the product. Of course, the first Yamato has also been developed and commercialized, so please look forward to the quality of the future "KIKAN-TAIZEN" lineup.

Close-up of parts that you want to see because it is a test shot, such as a diffuse wave gun that symbolizes Andromeda, a bridge using clear material for light emission, and an engine nozzle that keeps output beyond Yamato. You can enjoy the detail of the latest ship boasted by the Earth Federation ahead of time. The turret moves as well as Yamato, reproducing the spread of four gravity spreads by replacing parts as well.

To talk about the three-dimensional objects of "Star Blazers", the concept of scale, that is, "comparison of the sizes of ships" is indispensable. The "KIKAN-TAIZEN Star Blazers" series is unified at 1/2000 scale, and the volume of Andromeda, which is one size larger than Yamato, is also reproduced. It is a specification that the world view spreads as the collection goes on.

We have introduced a close-up of the detailed modeling, but we also recommend that you casually decorate your desktop as an item that colors your daily life.
During work and breaks, suddenly there is Yamato as I change my eyes ... this presence will surely be irreplaceable.

When you look at the upper part of the ship, where the dull gun muzzle rises, you can see the flowing crimson bottom of the ship reflected on the pedestal. A density that does not make you feel the scale of 1/2000, and a sizing that is easy to decorate. At the side of adult Yamato fans who know the quality, he sometimes gently snuggles up to them, and at other times reminds them of the heat in the play. Aiming for such an item, "Keikan KIKAN-TAIZEN" has now reached the time of weighing anchor. I want you to keep an eye on the ship as it sets sail.

A series sculpted with the concept of precision modeling, distinct painting, and dramatic presentation through lighting, developed under the concept of fleet ships for adult collectors.
