This is Taito's Galaxy Express 999 movie version Arcadia. It measures some 35 cm long, and pretty much all you see is all you get here, it sells for 1500 yen originally, but I picked up mine on eBay for $24 USD.
As you can see, the three main turrets rotate and the cannons can elevate, and that's as far as action goes on this piece.
Having said that, the sculpting is tremendous, and it's a very faithful reproduction of our good captain's ship.
It's made of high quality plastic, with softer slightly bendable PVC used for the antennas and the flag.
Unlike the Taito TV version Arcadia (you can click the captain harlock label to read my review of it), it doesn't come with an impact knife for the bow of the ship...mmm, which makes perfect sense since, this is the Galaxy 999 version and not the Outside Legend version.
Somehow, I think there is a chance that a variation of this will be released in the future.
If you are a fan of captain harlock, snatch it up if you come across it.
