This is SHFiguarts Ultraman Z Alpha Edge Special Color Ver., Bandai review, an action figure from Tokusatsu Ultraman Z series released by Tamashii Nation Bandai.

SHF Ultraman Z Alpha Edge Special Color Ver. Review

Alpha Edge (アルファエッジ Arufa Ejji) is Z's martial arts-oriented form, which uses the powers of Ultraseven, Ultraman Leo, and Ultraman Zero. This speedy form fights with Space Martial Arts inherited from his master and specializes in quick moves using karate. This form debuts in episode 1.

Head

As for the head, there was no noticeable change because it was originally almost all silver. I was originally good at modeling, so I didn't have to worry about it.

Body

As it is Special Color Ver., The modeling is the same as the normal Alpha Edge. Here, blue and red are also changed to metallic paint. As for the fuselage, it was originally mostly metallic, so the changes were not so noticeable. The blue-red color of the abdomen became a little flashy. Waist circumference.

Arms and Legs

The arms are a little bit, but the legs have a lot of red area, so all of them are metallic, which gives a tight impression.

Option Set and Accessories

A replacement color timer is included as well as the normal one. Zestium charge effect is the highlight of this time because it is an effect that comes only with this Special Color Ver.

First of all, the head, chest, and shoulders where the eyes go are almost the same, so the impression is that they haven't changed much.

Movability and Articulation

Since the modeling is the same, the movement is not particularly different from the normal Alpha Edge. Positive fist thrust. However, because it was painted metallic, the hip joints and other parts became a little squeaky.

It is a little more unstable than normal SHF, but you can stand on one leg. Alpha burn kick with Leo's effect. Zestium ray stance. The Z effect that comes with this time is used according to the pose that opens this arm up, down, left and right.

The Z effect may look great even when used like a halo. Since the Z effect is just placed and used, it can also be used for originals.

Summary

This is the review of SHFiguarts Ultraman Z Alpha Edge Special Color Ver. It is a metallic painted version of Ultra Arts, which is often a souvenir of the event, but this time Alpha Edge is the choice. The metallic paint on the whole body makes the legs look sharper than normal, and it also has a large and dynamic Z effect, so it is possible to make a more gorgeous display.
