Bowen Hercules Update!•• Not crazy about that one. Lacking the joie de vie of the bust, and the character!

You'd have to be a Space Battleship Yamato / Starblazers fan with deep pockets to order this model.

I have only vague memories of Spaceship Yamamoto from when I was wee lad, but I always thought that was just a cool looking ship!

Dwayne, I LOVE those animated Star Wars maquettes, but I seem to be in the minority there.
I would love to see an Ep IV Luke (white outfit w/lightsaber) a Queen Amidala (Ep I), and some more Jedi like Kit Fisto, etc.

Doubtless still in a cardboard box somewhere in the basement! The others somehow drifted away over the years -- except Captain America, which I GAVE away.

Well, my order from HLJ has arrived and I decided to test drive one of those Bandai Lightning Base Plates : 
With the room lights on, only a slight glow is visible. However, in a darkened room... 
Note: I did use a nighttime setting on the camera, coupled with flash, on the second photo.

And the base is large enough for two 4-5 inch figures to display as well: 
Sorry, I didn't have a King Joe figure in the same scale as Ultra-Seven here, so poor Robbie gets to act as a substitute...
