SHFiguarts (Shinkocchou Seihou) Ultraman [ 55th Anniversary ver. ]

It seems that it is made based on the whole body data of the first suit actor, and the body shape is very realistic, and even the wrinkles of the suit are reproduced in detail.

Head

The outline has changed slightly from the normal, making it closer to the shape in the play. The color of the eyes and the degree of cloudiness have changed a little. The silver color has also been changed to a stronger metallic color than before. The modeling is asymmetrical in order to reproduce the actual suit as much as possible.

Body

As with Tiga, the body is made of a soft material, and the width and thickness are the same as in the play. The color timer is transparent inside. In the photo, the gap in the left shoulder joint seems to be a little noticeable, but it can be made inconspicuous by pushing it in and opening the arm a little. The pants part was also a soft material.

Arms and Legs

The deflection of the shoulders and ankles is more noticeable than when Tiga was used. The shape of the limbs has changed slightly, such as the upper arm being slightly warped. Movable, the neck and hips can swing widely, and the shoulders can be raised as they are.

The elbows and knees can also be bent deeply. The hip joint is also widely movable back and forth and sideways. The grounding property is not bad, but it is lower than before.

Option and Accessories

The exchange method of Replacement color timer (red) is the same as usual. Specium ray effect is like the normal one, it is integrated with the right wrist. The size is almost the same as before.

Ultra slash effect is the state integrated with the wrist before throwing. Also included is a skipped item. This uses the attached pedestal. There are two types of struts, long and short, and you can also use the Damashii stage. As a bonus part, a right wrist for shaking hands for the SHF SS Tiga multi-type is also included. The size was a little larger than normal and was the same as the SHF SS Tiga.

Movability and Articulation

Movable is good everywhere as mentioned above. Although it is individual difference, it is a pity that there was a paint splash on the left waist. This time, even if the shoulders are bent inward, the soft material on the chest does not dent, so there is almost no worry that the paint film will come off.

The joints are hard and stable on one leg. Since the arms can be bent deeply inward, there is no problem with the movement of crossing the arms during teleportation. It is possible to take the knees naturally. The effect is light so it can be used without support.

Can be firmly fixed even if the angle is finely adjusted with the wrist joint. Although it depends on how the hips are bent, the belly of the soft material is bulging from the sample, giving the impression that it is a little chubby.

Summary

This is the review of SHFiguarts (Shinkocchou Seihou) Ultraman [ 55th Anniversary ver. ]. It is the 55th anniversary of Ultraman, the 100th body of the SHF Ultraman series in total, and the original man is also a true bone carving with a feeling like a commemorative item.

For those who made it, I was worried about the fact that the shoulder joints stand out from the sample and the paint splash, but like Tiga, it seems that it is made based on the whole body data of the suit actor, and the body shape and skeleton are very real, left and right. The contents were quite complete, with asymmetrical molding and wrinkles on the suit being precisely reproduced, and the movement was generally good, and there were no problems with the coating of soft materials.
