Shooting Game Historica 3 SP, EX Gashapon Toys
July 31, 2009 2:00 PM | Eric Caoili

Online import shop NCSX announced a new shipment of Shooting Game Historica 3 SP, Yujin's third set from its series of gashapon toys modeled after famous shoot'em up ships.
Unlike the non-SP Shooting Game Historica 3 set that we linked last October, the six figures in this collection are boxed in "fancy cardboard containers" instead of in plastic capsules.
The SP edition also includes the Raiden mk-IIb blue model (Yujin previously shipped the Raiden mk-II in red only), and variant colors for several of the other toys. Here's the full list of the included crafts:
- Wolf Fang - Blue armored mech which carries a blaster rifle
- Raiden - Raiden mk-II (red) or Raiden mk-IIb (blue)
- Soukyugurentai - S.O.Q-004 Toryu with multiple movable parts
- Kaitei Daisensou: In the Hunt - Squat submarine designed by Irem
- Maneuver Cepter Granada - A blue tank with moxie
- Star Soldier - The Ceaser which features a transformable cockpit
In related gashapon news, Insert Credit spotted new unpainted models for Thunder Force V's RVR-01 Gauntlet and RVR-02B Brigandine (RVR-01 and RVR-02 Vambrace combined) from the Shooting Historica EX set, spotted at this week's Wonder Festival in Tokyo.
Manufacturer Takara Tomy A.R.T.S. hasn't announced any details on the EX set's release or pricing, but I'm sure it will pop up on NCSX eventually. Apparently, these ships are larger and more detailed than Yujin's past efforts:

Its about time shooters get more recognition. Here in the U.S. shooters get no respect and take a massive back seat to insipid games like Madden and the assorted sports variety and Guitar Hero junk. Heck I am still waiting for an American release of Thunder Force 6. The american game market for shooters has gotten completly neglected.I wonder if its because they have no skill in dodging a screen full of bullets.
