Together with the Mecha Collection Yamato 2199.
They look similar, but this one came out as a completely new mold.

This kit is the Yamato 2202, released as No. 2 in the Mecha Collection Yamato 2202 series. At first glance, it looks like the previously released Mecha Collection Yamato 2199just got slightly darker molded colors — but look closely and you'll see every detail has been newly sculpted with a brand-new mold.

Compared to the 2199 version, there are subtly changed details, and the line widths and proportions are also quietly different. Functionally, the big change is the addition of swappable wings, while the rotating barrel gimmick is carried over the same as before. True to the Mecha Collection concept, there's a real joy in seeing such intricate detail packed into a small kit — and the overall detailing feels like it's been sharpened up just a notch.

As a miniature space battleship model kit that comes out with such excellent quality, it's worth building even if you've already made the Mecha Collection Yamato 2199. It did go up 200 yen compared to the Yamato 2199 — now at 600 yen, probably due to rising costs — but for Yamato fans, this seems like a kit well worth the investment. :-)
