Certainly looks different, I guess the appearance of the box of Mebius will be similar to the box of Leo
Images of Tiga with his Ultra-Act: Source: Tamashii. Edit: images from the Tamashii Nations Akiba Showroom: As for me, my Zero two-pack finally arrived! Either I didn't read in depth as to what this set would contain or I just forgot, so I was pleasantly blown away by how much stuff is included here. Even one figure with half the accessories would blow away some of the other recent TWE Ultra-Acts (especially Jonias and Ultra Mother). Between the two, Strong Corona is the more aesthetically appealing of the two for me. While Luna Miracle is basically "Bluer Zero," Strong Corona, with the gold striping on top of the red/silver body and blue bits in his collar is quite attractive. One minor thing to note - my Luna Miracle came with the head loose on its ball joint (it just wasn't popped into the joint all the way, giving it a weird giraffe neck out of the box, but I just popped it all the way back in and its fine now). Neither head, when fully popped into its joint, has much posability though. The small bit on top of the staffs is removable and slots in easily. Only one extra bracelet is included rather than two. No red timers are included for either version (if that was expected, I haven't watched much Zero stuff so I just assume timers come with most Ultras). The Tamashii stage connector pieces are also plain gray, rather than colored to match each Zero's base body color. Each Zero comes with a special set of gripping hands (left AND right, thankfully) that allow the shield to slot in easily. Despite its size, neither Zero's arms sag when holding it. The staff slides into the "normal" gripping hands, but it's a pretty tight fit - if I change how I display them frequently and constantly swap the staff from one hand to another, I will worry about some of the red paint at the base rubbing off. Because it's such a tight fit at the base, be careful when trying to place it into a hand because given how long it is, you can definitely snap it. I really wish it was the staff was removable from the top piece since the shaft is thinner than the base and therefore would be much easier to slide into the hand from the top instead of from the bottom. The flame effect is nice and pops in easily, despite it appearing like it's not easy to get into the wrist joint. Luna's effect part is literally a clear circle with some blue bits, but the blue is so faint it's hard to notice, especially in photographs. I wish they'd used a colored clear/opaque plastic instead, so it's easier to tell in photos. It's also a bit flimsy, so I'll worry a bit if Luna ever takes a dive from a high shelf. Minor complaints aside, I LOVE this set. I honestly wasn't super-enthused for it ahead of time because I'd been under the impression it would be a bit underwhelming in the accessory department like other TWE Ultras, but boy am I glad to be wrong there. So much bang for your buck in this set, and so much more fulfilling than some of the other Ultra-Acts I've picked up in the past year. |

Hi, I just started collecting the Ultra Act Series line and glad to know there are threads for it. Anyways recently a friend of my sold me his Ultra Act Tiga Ver1.0 and i noticed that it is missing the Handshake piece. Just wondering if there is any other way of getting that piece part. Thanks in advance.

You'll have to buy another Tiga Multi Type. The odds of finding someone selling just the handshake part is virtually nil, a handshake part has yet to be confirmed for the renewal Tiga, and Bandai can't help you out with a part that old that you got secondhand.
Oh, or get your friend to give it to you if he didn't lose it/insist on keeping it for himself.

I order Taro from Amazon. I plan to get Ginga and the original Ultraman next. Taro was pretty cheap being at $27 on Amazon and I used my prime account to order him with free shipping.

Oh Okay.. I really hope Bandai will start selling hand pieces, battle effect parts and color timers separately in the near future. As of now, i guess i got no choice but to get a another Ultra Act tiga ver 1.0
