Part 5: The Voyage Continues

Part 5: the Voyage Continues<\/h2>\n

Model kits derived from Farewell<\/em> and Yamato 2<\/em> were still in steady release when The New Voyage<\/em> made its debut in July 1979. Plenty of new mecha was introduced in the story, but Bandai brought only a few of them to plastic while continuing to feed the hunger for spaceships from the previous Yamato<\/em> ‘dynasty.’<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mecha Collection 16: Dessler’s Battle Carrier<\/h3>\n

Based on the design from Series 1, modified to include the Dessler Cannon on the forward gun deck.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mecha Collection 17: Dark Nebula Battleship Pleiades<\/em><\/h3>\n

The one and only Dark Nebula vessel to be released as a standard model kit. Those that followed were only made in garage kit form. (See them all here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mecha Collection 18: Gamilas Three-Deck Carrier<\/h3>\n

Also a lift from Series 1, finally given its due thanks to significant participation in The New Voyage<\/em>. It was only released in green at the outset; this oversight would be corrected in 2012 when blue and lavender versions were bundled with Yamato 2199<\/em> models.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

1\/700 Dessler’s Command Carrier, large scale (Nov. 1979)<\/h3>\n

As everyone’s favorite ship, Yamato<\/em> was released in eight different scales throughout the production years. Dessler’s red command carrier from The New Voyage<\/em> was second in line for this honor, getting three releases of its own. Since it had previously been seen under the command of General Dommel (i.e. Lysis) in the first TV series, these three kits did double commemorative duty.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

Mecha Collection Kits 19 & 20 (May 1980)<\/h3>\n

19: Captain Okita’s Battleship with mini Cosmo Zero
\n20: Mamoru Kodai’s Ship Yukikaze<\/em> with mini Black Tiger<\/p>\n

Playing somewhat against expectations, these two releases leapt backward in the saga and paid their respects to the original classic.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

1\/700 EDF Battle Cruiser (June 1980)<\/h3>\n

Includes EDF Landing Craft mini-kit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

EDF Carrier (June 1980)<\/h3>\n

Includes mini Cosmo Tigers<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mecha Collection Kits 21, 22 (June 1980)<\/h3>\n

21: Cosmo Zero
\n22: EDF Battle Cruiser<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

Dessler’s Command Carrier, medium scale (July 1980)<\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n

Cosmo Zero (July 1980)<\/h3>\n

Reissue of the 1977 Cosmo Zero kit with new box art.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

Black Tiger (July 1980)<\/h3>\n

Reissue of the 1977 Black Tiger kit with new box art.<\/p>\n
