Longtime fan of Ultraman & Godzilla, and recent lurker finally decided to post something.
Anybody collecting the new Ultraman: Ultra-Act series from Bandai?
I got back into Ultraman not too long ago, since I picked up the original Ultraman series on DVD. I haven't seen these episodes since my early childhood back in the 1970's. It was fun to watch my old hero again.
Anyway, I heard some things about the new Bandai Ultra-Act action figure series and liked what was being issued. I just got my Ultra-Act Ultraman in the mail took, and took a few quick pics...
I liked that the ray beam has a lighter painted middle than the rest of the beam creating a real nice effect.
Sporting his new cape from the recent Mega Monster Battle movie:
Overall, I really like the figure with all of its articulation and extra accessories. I did come across a couple of loose joints, but I can probably fix those issues with clear nail polish.
I got Belial coming in the next day or so. Watching Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends movie on youtube recently convinced me to pick him up. Pretty entertaining movie, and Belial has a pretty dynamic design. I'll have pictures of him once he arrives.
I'll get Gomora next, but I have to pace myself on these items as they are not cheap. Gomora was one of my favorite kaiju from the original series and he's even more of a badass in the recent movie.
I can see I'm going to be addicted to this line.
