REVIEW SHFiguarts Ultraman Trigger Truth, Bandai

7 Nov, 2023

This is review of Bandai action figure SHFiguarts Ultraman Trigger Truth from Ultraman Trigger series.

Bandai SHFiguarts Ultraman Trigger Truth Review

Upon first inspection, the entire body of the SHFiguarts Ultraman Trigger Truth presents itself as a multi-type color variation. However, the majority of it is actually new, featuring added black and molded parts in various colors.

Face

The head closely resembles the multi-type version, with the addition of black lines at the corners of the eyes and the base of the crest. Trigger Dark's dark power infusion imparts a slightly deeper atmosphere compared to the multi-type version.

Details on Each Part

Similar to the head, black patterns are strategically incorporated throughout the figure, introducing a design with dark elements. The delineations between colors are sharply defined, contributing to the overall novelty of the model.

Waist, Arms, and Legs

This area also boasts significant new elements. In addition to the introduction of black patterns, the red and blue color scheme deviates noticeably from the multi-type version.

Back and Options

True to the series, the package includes a replacement color timer and the True Zeperion ray effect. The latter, replicating the orange light from the movie, is a new model with precisely sculpted molds for the differently colored parts.

Joint Structure and Movement

Maintaining the same joint structure as the multi-type version, the figure exhibits identical flexibility and movement capabilities. The joints remain sturdy, even when subjected to the effects of various poses.

Special Features

In a nod to the movie, a hand sword is created by incorporating the Son Goku effect, portraying the golden light. The joints' flexibility ensures ease of movement, even during dynamic poses, such as a roundhouse kick.

Summary

The True Zeperion Ray effect, though weighty, doesn't compromise the figure's articulation. The inclusion of Carmilla adds an extra layer of detail. In conclusion, the SHFiguarts Trigger Truth impresses with its meticulously sculpted design and careful paintwork, capturing the essence of the movie. While joint structure and movement mirror the multi-type version, the addition of new elements and effects makes it an almost entirely fresh model.

Despite the initial impression of a shared silhouette with the multi-type version, the precisely sculpted areas with altered color schemes and added black detailing result in a figure that appears almost entirely new. The meticulous painting contributes to a striking resemblance to the movie's aesthetic. Although the figure maintains the quality and features of the multi-type version, the new True Zeperion ray effect stands out. It's worth noting the limited availability through Tamashii Store, which may pose a challenge for those seeking to add this important character to their collection. A broader release with a metallic version of the standard offering could potentially alleviate this concern.
