This figure is based on Ultraman Belial’s original Reionics form seen throughout a variety of films and series. Now, oddly enough this is not the first time the character has received a S.H.Figuarts, as last year Tamashii Nations released S.H.Figuarts Belial Atrocious, a form seen in Ultraman Geed. While the two forms/ figures are the same character, each body is engineered differently. Yet, their accessory count maybe near even. Nevertheless, this review tackles…

However, compared to the Ultra-Act it omits the signature attack effects like the Wide Zero Shot. Yet, there are more…
