【Space Pirate Captain Herlock】 Renewing the trademark skull! Herlock's beloved ship, the popular First Arcadia Vessel which was sold out until now, is confirmed for a limited-time reproduction!

Models have various charms, but when encountering a kit that even lets you feel the worldview of the work, you spontaneously forget time and gaze at it. “1/1500 Space Pirate Battleship Arcadia First Vessel 'Captain Herlock Dimensional Voyage' Creator Works Series” introduced this time is precisely one such vessel, isn't it? Being a kit turning the First Arcadia Vessel appearing in “Captain Herlock Dimensional Voyage” into a 3D model, it radiates a special presence that does not fit within the frame of a mere space battleship model. Inside the story, a grand setting of having been built a thousand years ago by Herlock and company's ancestors is given, and just knowing that background is a major appeal allowing you to enjoy assembling while feeling the heavy history held by this ship.

The moment you see the First Arcadia Vessel, what catches your eye first is a bold design unlike any other. The sculpt reminiscent of a skull extending from the bow to the hull side gives an impact so intense you won't forget it with just one glance. And yet it is not merely eccentric, but has an exquisite balance that somehow conveys even dignity and majesty. Furthermore, the characteristic antenna provided on top of the bridge tightens the overall silhouette, bringing out the atmosphere unique to a space pirate battleship all the more. Because impressions change depending on the viewing angle, it hides a charm that makes you want to gaze at it time and time again after completion.

What warrants particular attention in this kit is the point that the skull shape is turned into 3D based on the latest design by Leiji Matsumoto. Precisely because it is a symbolic motif, without compromising down to details, delicate lines and a sense of 3D depth are firmly incorporated into parts. Holding a dynamism that cannot be savored through 2D expressions, by assembling it you will likely feel the perfection of the design anew. Needless to say for fans familiar with the series over many years, even people who became interested in Arcadia through this work will find it a finish whose high level of completion they can be convinced of.

It cannot be overlooked that additional plastic parts such as the newly designed skull mark and bridge antenna are prepared for this kit. With characteristic details reproduced as dedicated parts, being able to express images from the show more faithfully is a delightful aspect. Because you can craft down to fine parts, dependable persuasiveness is born in the completed figure. The more you stick to details, the higher the overall completion rises, allowing you to fully savor the fun of finishing your very own First Arcadia Vessel.

The charm of this model continues even after completion. This is because just by displaying it, you can feel the grand story of “Captain Herlock Dimensional Voyage” and the presence of the battleship bearing a long thousand-year history up close. Beyond merely being satisfied with it as a collection, it also serves as a trigger to reflect on the world of the work. This kit, where an inventive form, elaborate sculpting reflecting the latest design, and high reproducibility via additional parts have fused splendidly, can be called an item perfect for people who want to thoroughly savor the charm of the First Arcadia Vessel.
