Romando Co. Ltd., also known as Romandoh, was a manufacturing company headquartered in Tokyo, Japan that produced a number of figurines, mecha toys and gashapon trading figures.
Romando is no longer operated as a separate brand following Arcadia Co. Ltd.'s acquisition of its parent company, Yamato Co. Ltd., in 2013.
Star Trek releases[]
1/7000 Scale Star Trek Official Museum Series[]
The company manufactured 1/7000-scale pre-painted PVC models of Star Trek starships in 2003 and 2004 as a gashapon toy line. Ships ranged in size from three to nine centimeters in length and came with individually-labeled stands displaying Japanese text. A small amount of assembly was required for display.
A 1/7000-scale Deep Space 9 space station and additional ships in other scales were also included in the series. Once assembled, the station measured twenty centimeters in diameter. "Dark" versions of the ships were detailed in phosphorescent paints that glowed in the dark, after previously being exposed to a light source.
The ship miniatures varied in size from much smaller than Galoob's Star Trek Micro Machines to larger vessels that were comparable to FASA's 1/3900 scale gaming miniatures or some of Furuta's gashapon releases.
