This in turn put Galman and Bolar back on the map when Bandai\u2019s polystone miniatures appeared in the early 00s through the B-Club label. Of course, garage kits have very limited runs and are extremely difficult to get outside Japan, but sometimes it\u2019s enough just to know they\u2019re out there ticking the boxes for completists.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault-images\/sep20\/487a01.JPG\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Illustration by Yuji Kaida, originally published in<\/em> Yamato Fact File <em>magazine<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<h3><a href='https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/ggmodelcatalog'>Galman-Gamilas Empire models<\/a><\/h3>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">Dessler\u2019s flagship<br \/>\nLarge battleship<br \/>\nMid-size battleship<br \/>\nDessler Gunship<br \/>\nDestroyer<br \/>\nPlanet-destroyer Missile Ship<br \/>\nGustav\u2019s Ship<br \/>\nDimensional Submarine<br \/>\nBattle Carrier<br \/>\nThree-deck Carrier<br \/>\nTwin Three-deck Carrier<br \/>\nTorpedo Plane<br \/>\nTwin-hull Fightercraft<br \/>\nHeavy Bomber<\/div>\n<p><\/br><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault-images\/sep20\/487a02.JPG\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nGalman-Gamilas mecha NOT made as model kits: mobile fortress, magnetic plant ship, exploration probe ship<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault-images\/sep20\/487a03.JPG\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nTwin-disc flagship, Reflection plate craft, asteroid absorption system vessel<\/p>\n<p><\/br><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault-images\/sep20\/487a04.JPG\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Illustration by Shinji Nishikawa, originally published in<\/em> Yamato Fact File <em>magazine<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<h3><a href='https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/bfmodelcatalog'>Bolar Federation models<\/a><\/h3>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Rajendora\/Legendra<\/em><br \/>\nA-type Battleship<br \/>\nB-type Battleship<br \/>\nBattle Carrier<br \/>\nHeavy Carrier<br \/>\nDestroyer<br \/>\n<em>Bemlin<\/em> Cruiser<br \/>\nBalcom\u2019s Battleship<br \/>\nGolsakov\u2019s Battleship<br \/>\nHakins\u2019 Battleship<br \/>\nFightercraft<br \/>\nMid-size Fightercraft<br \/>\nAtmospheric Fightercraft<\/div>\n<p><\/br><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault-images\/sep20\/487a05.JPG\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nBolar mecha NOT made as model kits: mobile fortress, Battle Planet <em>Zespaze<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault-images\/sep20\/487a06.JPG\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nTroop carrier landing craft, Bemlin shuttlecraft, prisoner transport barge<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[58,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28769","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-merchandising-series-3","category-series-3-the-bolar-wars"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28769","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28769"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28769\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28894,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28769\/revisions\/28894"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28769"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
