Are they as awesome as I imagine? I plan to order a complete set from that Otaku site. I donât need a bajillion color variants. Especially since I donât know what they look like.
Hereâs what I think should be included in the next series and beyond.
R-Type Delta: The Albatross or the Cerberus or The POW Armor. They are all fine choices but the POW armor would be the best. Or release two of them in the same volume.
19XX: One of the crafts from 19XX. Surprised that we havenât gotten one from this series yet. Theyâll have to do one since a new game is on the way. Thanks again Capcom!
DoDonPachi: Duh. Can clearly see why here.
Gallop: Itâs like how image fight is apart of the R-Type mythos. So they could get away with the updated Final version of the ship.
Einhander: Astraea Mk II. I know some of these shmup fans donât like Einhander (why!?) but this one game from Square was amazing. A replica containing four-five weapons would be cool. It could come with the vulcan cannon, wasp, blade, hedgehog, and/or cannon. They can release the red Astraea Mk II. as a variant (since itâs a secret ship in-game.) and that could include the juno, flash, riot, mosquito, and/or grenade launcher. And to top that off they could make a replica of the Die Schabe (the little police unit is a secret ship as well) and include it with the Endymion Mk. III. That ship could carry the python, spreader, juno, riot, and/or blade.
Radiant Silvergun: One red and blue Silvergun.
Ikaruga: Both ships in both black and white. So four replicas total.
In The Hunt: Itâs a submarine!
Thunderforce 4: Thatâs the one most people are familiar with right?
Axelay: Maaaaaaaan. No fucking brainer here. Who doesnât want this in plastic form.
Cybattler:Obscure game? Yeah. Cool ship design since itâs not a ship but a mecha? Turn it into a replica? Definitely.
Phalanx: Because itâs a decent enough game that people are familiar with around the world.
Gunstar Heroes: Remember the craft they use in the only shmup stage in the game? Yeah I do.
Lots of ships. I think they should start a spin-off project if the second series does as good as the first. Get to the shmup sub-genres like the Run nâ Guns, On The Rails shooters, etc.
Metal Slug: Slug that comes with Marco. Alternate Orange Slug that comes with Tarma. The figures donât need a lot of articulation. They just need to be able to get into game poses convincingly. Knife slash, holding their machine gun/pistol, etc.
Contra 3: Itâs Contra!
Gunstar Heroes: These can get more articulation. Should also come with the rail sliders from the cave stage.
Panzer Dragoon Orta: Orta plus the dragon in itâs normal form.
Iâm not into bullet hell games (but that history video showed me how they work so that could game change) except DoDonPachi. So Iâm sure you guys know of other iconic ships that need to be made in miniature plastic form.
