TOYS Shooting Game Historica 3 SP - Import Sale US$108.90

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. 

Orders ship same-day (M-F) if ordered before 4PM EDT

TOYS Shooting Game Historica EX Terra Cresta - Import Preorder US$72.90

Product Synopsis 
    It's been five years since Yujin released the Shooting Game Historica 4 gashapon set and two years since the Shooting Game Historica REBOOT 2013 Taito SP toys. It's about that time for another Shooting Game Historica ship. The vessels of arcade shooter classic Terra Cresta dubbed Delta, Gamma, Alpha, Beta, and Epsilon are sculpted into detailed PVC models which may be bolted together to form the mighty Wing Galiber. 

    Preorders ship in late October 2015.

TOYS Shooting Game Historica EX - Wing Galiber - Import Preorder $78.90 each

NCS Product Synopsis 
    The Shooting Game Historica series continues... sort of... with a new ship from the Terra Cresta game - the Wing Galiber. While a new gashapon collection would be preferred, the fourth set of ships didn't sell that well so Takara is trying another toy tack. In the Terra Cresta game, players started off with a puny ship but by bolting on up to four upgrades, the ship grew and grew until it became the magnificence known as the Wing Galiber which was inaugurated by burning like a phoenix for a few seconds.

    Takara's bringing the Terra Cresta magic to life with all five ships and similar to the game, all of the ships may be combined to form the Wing Galiber which measures 18cm or 7.08" in length. The five ships by themselves are:

 » Alpha
 » Beta
 » Delta
 » Gamma
 » Epsilon

    Preorders are welcome to ship in late November 2014.

NCS Product Synopsis
    It's been a couple of years since Shooting Game Historica 4 gave shooting game and toy fans something to tinker with but Takara Tomy Arts is back with a trio of shooter ship toys which are scheduled for release in March 2013. The three ships in the new 'Reboot 2013' collection are as follows:

 » 001 - Darius Burst | Legend Silver Hawk Burst + Forward Boost Parts - Total length: 6.69" (17cm)

    Each ship measures approximately 3" in length which is commensurate with the ships in the Shooting Game Historica series but the additional forward parts double the length of the Darius Burst ships. Preorders are welcome to ship in late March 2013 at JPY1,800 per ship or US$26.90 each.

TOYS Shooting Game Historica 3 SP - New Import, In Stock

NCS Product Synopsis
«©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.

Shooting Game Historica Vol. 3 - Import Preorder

«©NCSX» Over the past year, the Shooting Game Historica series of toys has been some of NCS' most popular products. We get to sell the gashapon sets which are packaged in plastic capsules and then we also peddle the "SP" re-renditions which are boxed in fancy cardboard containers. It's sort of like selling the same toys twice. Yujin has started preorders for the third set of Shooting Game Historica toys which feature ships from another six games as follows:

» Wolf Fang - Blue armored mech which carries a blaster rifle
» Soukyugurentai - S.O.Q-004 Toryu with multiple movable parts
» Raiden - Raiden mk-II (red) or Raiden mk-IIb (blue)
» Kaitei Daisensou: In the Hunt - Squat submarine designed by Irem
» Maneuver Cepter Granada - A blue tank with moxie
» Secret ship - To be unveiled later

Please note that Yujin will produce two Raiden ships in red or blue and NCS will fill preorders with either a red or blue Raiden ship.

NCS received the ship prototype sales sheet which shows the ships in their unpainted form but we'll throw up the production photos once Yujin releases them to toy distributors in Japan. As usual, we'll post a photo gallery of all the ships once we receive the toys from overseas. The silhouette of the sixth ship shown at the bottom of the second page sort of looks like the ship from PC-Engine Override... except the guns in front are too pointy.

Per normal SGH sales convention, NCS will gather together all six ships and supply them in complete sets at US$26.90. As mentioned earlier, we will fill preorders with either a red or blue Raiden mk-II. Reservations are welcome to ship in mid-late March 2009.

NCS expects Yujin to announce the S.P. edition of Shooting Game Historica Vol. 3 next month for delivery sometime in May 2009.

Yujin announces Shooting Game Historica Vol. 3 and others

«©NCSX» The third Shooting Game Historica set was announced overnight and we'll start preorders tomorrow. Yujin has only released a prototype sales sheet thus far but we'll update the image once we receive color images. Ships featured in the third set include the submarine from In the Hunt, the tank from Granada X, and the mech from Wolf Fang. The S.O.Q- 004 Toryu from Soukyugurentai is also featured in the set. To correct an earlier posting, it appears that only the Toryu will be produced. We'll clarify the full preorder details tomorrow since two ships from Raiden are also included in SGH Vol. 3.

Also announced last night: Tatsunoko vs Capcom Little Heroes Keychains (Eight styles), SR Senjou no Valkyria Vol 2 Figures (Swimsuit version), and the Animal Crossing Projector Light. We'll post details for all four upcoming gashapon sets on Wednesday's website update.

Shooting Game Historica Vol. 2 - New Import, In Stock

Yujin's latest shooting gashapon toys arrived late this morning and we're in the process of assembling complete sets so we can begin shipping preorders today. However, please note that there is an additional ship that we received in the factory boxes and bags which was not mentioned in Yujin's preorder offer - it's a Musha Aleste robot.

Since our original preorder was only for a set of 5 toys at US$20.90, we are asking customers to re-confirm their preorders if they wish to add the sixth toy (Musha Aleste robot) for a complete set. If you wish to include the sixth toy, the revised cost for the set of six will be US$25.00 + shipping.

An email has been sent to everyone on our preorder list with information on the sixth toy. Please re-confirm at your earliest convenience and we will ship your order today. If we do not hear from you by Thursday afternoon, we will ship your preorder of 5 standard ships as specified in our original preorder offer. Thanks for your attention. A photo gallery of every ship will be posted in tomorrow's daily website update.

New orders are welcome to ship today for the complete set of six ships at US$25.00 + shipping.
