Action Figure SHFiguarts Ultraman Suit Ultraman Taro [ The Animation ] Review

This is the third The Animation Characters, and the atmosphere of modeling and painting is the same as that one.

Head

The design has corners on the left and right because Ultraman Taro is the base. It features mechanical details like the others. The eyes are reproduced with clear parts like Ultra Seven. The molding was sharp and the metallic paint was beautiful and it looked good.

Body

Since Ultraman Taro is the base, the arrangement of red and silver is somewhat similar. The color timer is reproduced with metallic paint.

Arms and Legs

Compared to Ultraman and Ultra Seven, the Taro form is curved. It also had a brighter red color. The Joints are different from Ultraman and Ultra Seven. The neck does not turn up much due to interference, but the waist can swing quite a bit.

Raise your shoulders to horizontal, elbows about 130 degrees, knees about 100 degrees. The hip joint is a pull-out type that can move widely in the front and back, and the grounding property is quite high. The shoulder can be pulled out about 60 degrees.

The effect was painted over the clear, and the modeling was realistic. Bonus parts Ultra slash effect parts left and right for Ultraman [ the Animation ]. The wrist is also included and can be used by replacing it. The atmosphere comes out when lined up, but it is a mystery whether it will come out any more.

Movability and Articulation

Movement is generally good as mentioned above. It also comes with a flat hand with strong fingers, allowing a display close to the image in the play. Rotate the waist to the limit and about 45 degrees.

It didn't move that flashy, but it was acceptable for the time being. It may be individual difference, but it was a little unstable when opening the legs because the hip joint was loose, which is rare in recent products. Grounding was very high.

It comes with a pedestal for effects, but since the hole is 3 mm, it was possible to use Tamashii Stage. It was a little disappointing that it didn't turn up so much. It may be a little unusual to have bonus parts for products from 3 years ago.

Summary

Thats the review of Action Figure SHF Ultraman Suit Taro [ The Animation }. The Ultraman Suit [The Animation] series has been on hiatus for quite some time, but Netflix has released Season 2 of the anime, and Ultraman Taro, who was treated like the main character, was released there. I was a little worried about the tightness around the neck and the looseness of the hip joints, but the other parts were movable, so it was just barely acceptable. It was well-organized and generally satisfying.
