A little Japanese toy maker by the name of A-Label's got something just for you: a 1/8 scale die-cast version of the Madou Gokin RWF-9A Arrow Head that's a while lot bigger and a whole lot more awesome! I mean, just look at the size of that thing! It's only 13 cm, but still, that's bigger than most of the ships I've seen up until now from this series.
This R-Type ship can be yours for only US$129.90, with pre-orders open at NCSX. It doesn't ship until March 2010, so there's a bit of a wait for your ship to arrive. Anyone considering picking this one up?
Found out about this from Carlos' FaceBook post. Boy, do I ever need this!
