Between The New Voyage and Be Forever Yamato, a large range of mecha was designed and animated for the Dark Nebula Empire, but Bandai made a grand total of three model kits. In subsequent decades, fans addressed this deficit with a very respectable lineup of garage kits. All known Dark Nebula models are presented here.
