S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Z Alpha Edge Teaser
"Space Martial Arts, the Inherited Fighting Technique!"
Today is Ultraman day, as July 10th 2020 marks the 54th anniversary of our favorite giant of light. Honoring him and his legacy, Tamashii teases the newest hero who continues the fight in S.H.Figuarts-form, Ultraman Z! All we have is a silhouette for now, but given last year’s timeframe, Ultraman Z might be revealed fully at the end of July with an August pre-order start. Osu! https://hajime.tamashii.jp/posts/8762077 https://i.imgur.com/3FmdgNc.jpg |
Damn, even in merch, Z Original gets the short stick.

Personally, I'm interested to see if they make Beta Smash and Gamma Future. We got the entire Tri Squad (took a while though and Fuma isn’t solidified yet) and R/B had most of their alternate forms, even though they were mostly palette swaps. Neither Geed nor Orb did get all of theirs so - let's see if Z's popularity helps out. Also: S.H. Figuarts Sevenger when? |
Hopefully we'll get a Figuarts Sevenger. I want my dorky retro robot son.
|
Awesome!
As for Z original getting the short stick, that makes sense. It's essentially the equivalent to a 'pre-form' in Rider; like Plat Form or Transient. |

Yes I'll take Sevenger please thank you.

I'd honestly like to see the other fusion forms more, especially Beta Smash. Quote:

I think with Z It will only be complete if people get Z, Sevenger, and Windam as a set.
|
I still think we'll get an Original Z, hopefully as a normal release like they did with Orb Origin and Spacium Zepellion.
The question is, which one would be better? I still think that Alpha Edge is the Spacium Zepellion of the show, which means if Z appears in future crossovers he will be represented by his Original form. Or maybe just screw it since Z Original is basically Nexus Anphans and Momotaros. |

I'd rather have Z's normal form, I hope they make that!
Also yes Figuarts Sevenger when? |

But maybe we shouldn't compare Z to Orb, but Geed instead. Geed also has fusion forms, and an original form - the base Belial suit. But it has never been used as an actual form, so whenever Geed appears his fusion form is his standard look. If Original Z' appearances stick to the fight in the first episode and his talks with Haruki, I doubt he'll be retail if they make him. Quote:

I’d love to see Galactron happen as a Figuart but honestly at this stage I really doubt it. That thing would need to be as big as Gomora was, and Bandai have stayed as far away as possible from MonsterArts sized kaiju since then.
If we can’t get an Eleking then Galactron has no chance :( On topic, I’ll definitely pick this up. I want base form Z far more, but this’ll do as a placeholder. |
Man the Z or Alpha Edge is going to be the new Tajador or Putotyra debate lol. But yeah it really depends on how often Z uses his original form.

Full reveal through Hobby Japan magazine! The price is fairly low as usual with the yearly new Ultra so don’t expect too many accessories if any.
Also, another red-eyed Geed? Didn’t we get one of those already? https://i.imgur.com/zQnJ536.jpg |
Y'know, after just finishing up my retail SHF buying (unless Den-O Climax turns out to be retail. Which after Fangjoker and Tajador I honestly think is very possible), it's... really kind of a nice prospect to see this? Like. A retail SHF pre-order that's pretty cheap and likely won't sell out in two seconds (...right?). I'm all over that. I actually really REALLY think I might go for this!

I think they did it with Taiga first last year. I don’t mind the price, but I miss the accessories - Alpha Edge should really come with his Zero Sluggers, a Zestium Ray effect piece and the Z Lance Arrow. I wonder which figure they'll release the accessories with. Taiga's effect piece was released with the Web-Exclusive Tregear. It would be neat if the accessories are bundled with his other forms, if they happen, otherwise - an original base form Z maybe? Geed Galaxy Rising? |
A special site has been opened but the picture is the same as the one from the magazine. It seems like they're rebranding the Ultraman line into "Ultra Arts"?
Anyways, preorders go up August 3rd. https://tamashii.jp/special/push/ultraarts/ |
They're making the Ultraman stuff its own line again? Okay, but why?
|

Because Alpha Edge is still listed as "S.H.Figuarts" https://i.imgur.com/Dwu6QBV.jpg |

Oh, I see we've got more information on that red-eyed Geed? I think? What's included?
|
Quote:
But - he may be a retail release? Weird. |

|
Man, he looks more Zero than Zero. :rock:
|
That's a good looking figure. Ok FINE I'll buy him. But I still want a non-fusion Z.
|
As expected by the low price point, Alpha Edge only includes swappable hands and a replacement color timer.
Geed seems to be a reissue of the original with the added red-eyed head but it lacks the Wrecking Burst effect piece. Z is ¥3850, Geed ¥6,050, both are retail releases in December 2020 and go up for pre-order August 3rd in Japan. https://tamashii.jp/item/13328/ https://tamashii.jp/item/13329/ https://i.imgur.com/GR9gY39.jpg https://i.imgur.com/yf2y5I2.jpg |
... aww, man, no Wrecking Burst? I'm honestly kinda conflicted on this Geed now...
Still, nice to see they went the alternate head route. |
I find it a bit weird that they're doing this instead of a straight up reissue. I mean, the red-eyed Geed is exclusive to some movie / spin-off, right? I watched the entirety of Geed and its movie, he never once had red eyes in any of it as far as I remember.
Anyways, while we're talking Geed - I'm really excited to see the SHF version of Galaxy Rising! |

Also I remembered the red eyes from the movie but completely forgot they were in the series. I guess I should watch Geed again too! |
... oh, lord; am I wrong then?! :lol

Geed did have red eyes while being absorbed by Belial. https://i.imgur.com/x5SsLiN.jpg |
