Review: S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Zero

March 31, 2019March 31, 2019 Billy "TaJa" Doyle

Tamashii Nations finally adds Ultraman Zero to the S.H.Figuarts line after being a character released countless times as an Ultra-Act. In addition, Tamashii Nations adds the character to the line shortly after releasing S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Zero Beyond a form he obtained in Ultraman Geed. Nevertheless, this S.H.Figuarts release nearly matches the Ultra-Act 2.0 release for its accessory count, but improves the overall scale and articulation to match other tokusatsu figures. However, compared to the Ultra-Act it omits the signature attack effects like the Wide Zero Shot. Yet, there are more…

December 7, 2017December 6, 2017 Billy "TaJa" Doyle

Today, I am proud to present and review S.H.Figuarts Dan Moroboshi, otherwise known as Ultraseven! Dan Moroboshi is Ultraseven’s human guise, portrayed by actor Kohji Moritsugu. The actor, the character, and his heroic form are regarded as one of the best protagonists and series in the Ultra franchise.

Being the first tokusatsu character in the line, Dan Moroboshi is the testing ground for Retsu Ichijoji, Takeshi…
