Due to the hull's unique shape, a specially designed stand is included.

Together with the Mecha Collection Yamato 2202.

This kit is the KaraKrum Class Combatant Ship, released as No. 3 in the Mecha Collection Yamato 2202 series. As you can see in the comparison photos above, it's quite large for a Mecha Collection kit — it comes in a wide box unlike anything we've seen in the Mecha Collection lineup before, and it's priced at ¥900.

The basic build stays true to the series concept, delivering intricate detail and excellent proportions in a small package. Thanks to the unique hull design, a new style of stand has been included. The overall design is full of bumps and contours, giving the finished model a really nice sense of depth. It's easily the largest and most impressively sculpted kit in the Mecha Collection lineup.

So here we have a bigger box, a slightly higher price tag, and a large, three-dimensional spaceship to show for it. There aren't really any moving parts, so for this review you can just sit back and appreciate the overall sculpt. Either way, this is a ship that's never even been released in 1/1000 scale, so if you're a Yamato fan, this seems like a kit well worth adding to your collection. :-)
