A complete catalog of all known Earth Defense Forces models, toys, and garage kits from Be Forever<\/em>.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The Earth Defense Forces were quickly sidelined once the Dark Nebula Empire invaded Earth in Be Forever<\/em>, but they still had to be designed and merchandising followed. Many model kits were planned by Bandai, but few made it to market since there was no Be Forever<\/em> TV series to extend the sales window. But fandom did what it does best, bringing neglected designs to life as garage kits.<\/p>\n

The Yamato<\/em> kits shown here are only those released during the tenure of the film. To see the entire vast catalog of Yamatos<\/em> great and small, click here<\/a><\/p>\n

Bonus<\/h3>\n

From the Be Forever Yamato<\/em> Roman Album (1981): Bandai’s prototypes for several model kits from the film. Only those boxed in red actually went into production.<\/p>\n

Text near the bottom reads, \u201cThese models are wooden prototypes made by Bandai to make plamo.\u201d<\/p>\n
