I just purchased the arcadia ships( normal version and weathering version) from a local toy store. the yen price is 12800 each.
First of all, when i had the box on hand, i felt the WEIGHT. The box design is simply beautiful and amazing, especially the side look.
After opening the normal version box, i found almost NONE accessaries at all other than the ship itself and the display stand. Actually there's a very little extra plastic bag inside, the flag, ankle and the caps of the light are in there, all made of plastics.
However when i took out the ship, OHHMMMYYYGOOOSSSHHH!!!! It is very VERY heavy!!Im pretty sure there's at least 80% of the ship is made of diecast! I think this baby weight at least 1Kg, you wont believe the solid feeling unless you have it in your own hand. None of the SOCs gave me this kind feeling except boss borot and getter poseidon.
For the gimmicks,at the front of the ship you can take out the sword(another way of displayin it), insert two #5 batteries and it wil llight up the controlling room and the living area. Further more, when you pull out the little door at the front, you can settle up the anker for the ship, which is very exquisite. At the middle part of the ship you can store two small plastic jets(included) inside of the stomach. The jets itself is nicely painted. The three set of cannons at the front/belly are rotating together SIMULTANEOUSLY as you move one of them, and the upper cannon is also movable up and down. Plus, the pipes of the cannon are all movable independently.
The truly amazing part still goes on. If you closed the light of surrounding and turn the light of the ship on, the feeling of it just like something shiny and gentle traveling at the space.
Overall, this is a truly amazing piece.I will give this toy a 85, grab one while it is still cheap.
