The following is a review of Dynaction Ultraman Shin Ultraman from the Ultraman Series.

Dynaction Ultraman Shin Ultraman Review

Ultraman (ウルトラマン Urutoraman) is an alien from a place called the Land of Light in Nebula M78, who chased the monster Bemular to Planet Earth, and merged with Shin Hayata during his tenure there. He is the first Ultra to visit Earth and defended the planet against Kaiju until he was recalled after his battle with Zetton. Ultraman was given his title by his human host.

Head

The outline is as thin as the image, and the comb part is also sharply shaped. The eyes had a light-up gimmick, so it was a little dark as it was. The neck is a little longer than SHF, but when you look at the preview video, it's quite long, so this time may be closer to the play.

There is a switch if you remove the cover on the back of the head, and you can keep an eye out. Here, the color of the eyes is as you imagined. The battery was LR44 and the test battery was included from the beginning.

Body

Like the first figure, it features a huge size of about 40 cm. Although it is large, there is no sense of cheapness because the modeling paint is solid. Faithfully reproduce Shin's original design without a color timer. The fact that there are undulations such as the chest and abdomen where the bones are floating is also real.

Arms and Legs

This area is quite slender. The painting was also polite, and the boundary between red and silver was painted accurately. Although it is very large, it is as movable as SHF, it can swing big on both the neck and waist, and the shoulders can be raised high.

The elbows and knees are deeply bent, and the hip joints are also retractable and can be widely moved back and forth and sideways. The grounding property was also high. option. A set of pedestals. Includes a figure of a person that matches the scale of Ultraman. This makes it easier to see how big it is. With the first figure of the same dynamics and Shin Ultraman of SHF.

Articulation and Movability

The joints are large and very stiff, so there are places where it is difficult to move, but the range of movement itself is wide, so the range of poses is quite wide.

The rotation of the waist is limited to about 45 degrees, but it is possible to take a fighting pose almost naturally. The chest, hips, knees, ankles, etc. are die-cast joints, so they are firmly fixed and the lower body is particularly strong.

The hip joint is a pull-out type, so the kneeling pose is natural. The attached stand was also quite sturdy and it was possible to float this huge size firmly. Since the range of movement is very wide, movements that are unlikely to occur in the play, such as sitting cross-legged or lying down, feel natural. Since the leg joints are all strong, you can stand on your own even when your heels are floating.

Summary

This is the review of DYNACTION Shin Ultraman. For some reason, the DYNACTION series is like Anno's binding, and Shin Ultraman is also released following Evangelion. Although the finished product is quite huge, it has a realistic shape that allows you to see the skeleton and muscles of the suit, and the silver metallic paint is beautiful, not the cheapness that is typical of large figures, and the movement is comparable to SHF.

At the level, the joints were sturdy and easy to play, and the finish was highly complete. Since the size is too special, it seems that the tastes will be different, but since it is a character that makes sense for being big.
