R-Type Command's Black R-9A Pre-order Bonus

Yujin's Shooting Game Historica mini-model gashapon ships are the greatest shooter-related merchandise since ever. They're small enough to display anywhere, yet are super-detailed and bring a new life to two-dimensional galaxy saving. The ships come in the regular colors and the "2nd player" variants from the SP collection. There was also a black with red trim colored R-Type R-9A variant that I believe was a pre-order bonus in Japan for R-Type Tactics. The toy has been seen here and there on eBay for awhile, but now R-Type fans will be able to get one as a sweet bonus for pre-ordering R-Type Command. Those that already bought the mini-model off of eBay can either be furious that they spent so much on the auction site or get a second one. GameStop, GameCrazy, and Amazon are all offering the ship for the game's May 6th release.

The black, regular, and red R-Type R-9A ships from Yujin's galaxy saving line of awesome.
