When I still frequently played my JP version of PS Vita, there was this particular Horizontal Mecha Shmup game that I played called Wolf Fang and certainly it was a rather unique experience. This game is quite cut above for something published by DataEast which don't exactly have good reputation when it comes to Consistency. Fast Forward to 2024, out of the blue Plum decided to release a model kit from this series that has went past its heyday under 1/35 Scale. Scheduled for October 2024 release, 1/35 Soryu will be sold for 4500 Yen.
Given Plum's track record in releasing Model Kit for non mainstream Mechas like Assault Suits and Powerdolls, It is somewhat expected that they will move on to Wolf Fang at some point though it is commendable for them to do such attempt in the current difficult economic situation. For a 4500 Yen Model Kit, you get a 13 cm Soryu Model Kit in its default getup along with the Pilot model kit. Considering the Price Tag, I really doubt this one got cockpit gimmick even if It could use one. What makes Wolf Fang rather special is its degree of customization for the Mecha loadout which consist of Components like Main & Melee weapons and Leg type. Wolf Fang even got the Pilebunker as one of possible loadout even though I still find laser blades to be more reliable option. If you like Mecha and never played Wolf Fang, I strongly recommend to give this game a try in PSX version which even got Voiceover! Perhaps in near future I might even make a dedicated article for this game.
