This vehicle is 1/1000 scale which would make it maller than the current GX-64 Yamato, unless they have no choice but to scale it that way since the Andromeda is supposed to be THAT much bigger...

From a model comparisson photo someone made recreating the Kia Asamiya poster, the classic 1/700 Andromeda seems to be the right size. Which means the rescaled Andromeda in 1/1000 would be about the same size as the classic 1/700. That came complete with a lighting kit for the WMGs, which was activated by a Kodai & Yuki shaped switch on the base. This seems to go the same way but with more gimmicks. Hopefully, Bandai will include all the needed components in the model, instead of making us buy extra lighting gear like they did with the 1/500 and their recent Millennium Falcon.

Chronocidal Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) Wait, huh? What scale? I've got a few of the Bandai kits, and they're great, but a finished display would be nice too, would love to have one with folding wings in 1/60 or even 1/48.

The Wonder Fest Winter will be held on Feb 19. It's just 6 days before the premiere of the 2202. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the scale but it comes with a launch rail stand, figures, weapons, optional landing gear, and folded parts for stowed mode.

Which means it is good that they are thinking of it, and bad that they are using a marketing name where the last production's final two disks were never released.

I will be in the very small minority here, but I hope Andromeda goes down like a bitch. I never liked that particular ship in the original series, always thought it was overrated, the so called hero ship that wasn't. I remember the english translation in Star Blazers about how important the Andromeda was, like having five of then can help defeat Gatlantis or some crap like that. Looking at how easily it went down, my guess is that was just a way for Hajikata to increase the defense budget. I liked it when that ship finally bit the dust by crashing into Gatlantis and not even scratching its shield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pissed me off since I was supporting them by not buying the japanese releases in favour of the NA releases. Not trusting their brand again. Thankfully I was able to pick up the Japanese Yamato versions for the final few episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beltane70 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 The Andromeda looks so menacing in this new trailer! I'm also really digging what sounds like a new version of Gatlantis' theme.

Dobber Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Regarding the Andromeda model, a member over at SSM posted this: "okay take this with a grain of salt but I came across this; Star Blazers - 1/1000 Andromeda Movie Effect Version SKU#0214500 I part time at a local anime store (shameless plug www.neotokyo.ca) and we stock bandai gundam kits, manga, anime etc. Anyways I was digging around on a suppliers site(no, I won't be telling you who it is) and found a preorder for that. It says march. Now, we know the Andromeda is going to be much bigger than the Yamato. But I'm starting to wonder about how much bigger because the cost at my supplier for this new Andromeda is the exact same as the 1/1000 Domelaze III kit! And you know how big the box for that monster was. Also found Star Blazers - 1/1000 Yunagi Combined Cosmo Fleet SKU#0215636, also listed for March. Don’t know anything about this but I'm suspecting it's a re-pop of 1/1000 UNCN Combined Space Fleet Set 1 with different markings because it has the same cost as 1/1000 UNCN Combined Space Fleet Set 1. But I'm only guessing here." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been able to figure out how to switch to it if there is. I'm an AV guy, so this isn't a newb question, but I can only find the 2.0 track.
