1/400 Weekly Captain Harlock Arcadia Making a Die-cast Gimmick Model #072

Description

This is a Japanese-language book or magazine about science-fiction subjects related to anime and/or modeling.

Hachette Collections Japan brings us the legendary Arcadia, originally from “Space Pirate Captain Harlock”! After the 1978 TV anime, this pirate battleship was redesigned when it appeared in the 1979 movie “Galaxy Express 999,” reborn as a powerful spaceship with a skull symbol on its bow. This new Arcadia gets the full Hachette treatment as a die-cast model filled with unprecedented gimmicks! Each volume contains additional parts to add to your model, as well as illustrated instructions. Once all volumes of the collection have been assembled, you’ll have an incredible and huge model of the Arcadia for your own collection!

This model was designed and developed by Tsuyoshi Nonaka, known to fans worldwide for his work on planning, designing, manufacturing, distribution, packaging and publicizing character toys for adults. He currently works as a freelance toy designer, and has created a completely new and detailed model for this project.

The Arcadia’s unprecedented size and fine level of detail creates an overwhelming presence, and most of the sound, light and action gimmicks can be controlled with a dedicated controller.

The magazine included with each volume introduces the appeal of the Arcadian in a multifaceted manner with a variety of chapters. In addition to the three theatrical versions “Galaxy Express 999,” “Farewell Galaxy Express 999,” and “Galaxy Express 999: Eternal Fantasy,” the text also touches on two TV series: “Space Pirate Captain Harlock” and “Galaxy Express 999.” Using scene cuts and high-definition visuals with new color work, the mecha, characters, story and more of each will be explained.
