Review: S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Zero

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.

Review: S.H.Figuarts Dan Moroboshi (Ultraseven)

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. Now, as a S.H.Figuarts Dan Moroboshi is incredible, as it uses Tamashii Nations modern sculpting to make realistic figures based on actors/ live-action characters. Being the first tokusatsu character in the line, Dan Moroboshi is the testing ground for Retsu Ichijoji, Takeshi…
