I like the OF-1 Daedalus from Image Fight.  But exactly what are they? Stickers, models, paper airplanes?

[nat]

Paper airplanes, duh.

[Turbo D]

They're models, or statues or whatever. Click on the blue link in the lower left hand corner.

Got it. Those all look awesome, except Darius. I hate Darius.

[guyjin]

They're moderately sweet, but what the hell's a 'shump'?

You don't know? I thought shmups was common knowledge?

[Nazi NecroPhile]

That's my point.  I'm familiar with the terms 'shmup' and 'shemp' (nyuk, nyuk, nyuk), but 'shump' - not so much.

I noticed that National Console Support put these up for pre-order today:

Page down a bit to find the toys.  They are selling a case of 12 for $45.  But I would imagine you might be able to find individual pieces in February.  But these are pretty niche so who knows.  They do look awesome though.

sorry..over tired when I found these

I've never seen the appeal of robots and space ships. Or guns.

Especially not the plastic kind.

[Kitsunexus]

LOL @ SHUMP! 

And I can't believe you hate Darius, rolins! Sure it's graphical style is kind of on the generic side, but it still has good music and awesome gameplay.

[Turbo D]

turbo D like darius

I knew what you meant and was just being a tool.

WERE YOU MORE OF A BELT SANDER OR LESS OF A SCREWDRIVER!? 

[Turbo D]

I say we all have a screwdriver right now 

[nat]

I'm enjoying an ice cold beer before bed, myself.

[Nazi NecroPhile]

I say we all have a screwdriver right now 

I'll have mine made with tang, if you please.

[Kitsunexus]

Dude, have you tried those new little Tang Sport Fruit Punch packets? They're fucking AWESOME! They say you're supposed to pour them into like a 20oz Dasani and you get great fruit punch. And you do.


But I pour four of them into half a 20oz Dr. Pepper and you get an awesome drink that looks EXACTLY LIKE BLOOD. 

[Turbo D]

sounds good  I'll pick some up tomorrow 

[Kitsunexus]

Definitely man! I don't know where you get yours, but I've seen them at 7-11, so they're most likely there.

Haven't seen 'em, but I'll keep my eyes open (though that wasn't the type of tang I was shooting for).

Well.. I was strolling through the mall the other day and as I was walking past the Gacha machines
something caught my eye.  Turns out that these models belong to a series of Capsule toys called
"Shooting Game Historian" by Yujin.  I poured 1800 yen into the machine(300 a pop) and pulled out a bunch
of these bad boys.  They come unassembled... so you have to put them together like a little model.

Good stuff.  Though I don't think I would want to pay $45 to import them.. since they don't look as
appealing(save for Vic Viper & Metarion) as they do in the web pages. 

Oh yeah.. this series is labeled 'Vol. 1'.  So there will probably be more ships down the line.
