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

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Despite its interesting new collection of mecha designs, Yamato III<\/em> received little attention in the form of model kits from Bandai, especially on the EDF side with only a mini-kit of the Cosmo Hound. Instead, Bandai\u2019s Popy division rolled out a variety of toy Yamatos<\/em> in anticipation of a year-long TV run that was soon cut in half due to lower-than-expected ratings. Understandably, that had an instant chilling effect on further merchandising.<\/p>\n

When the garage kit era arrived, skilled fans more than made up for Bandai\u2019s hesitation, especially in their attention to the beloved Arizona<\/em>. Here is the entire catalog for Yamato III<\/em> (so far).<\/p>\n
