A sight Philip and Shotaro would deem fitting for sure, but I think it just looks that way because they posed it a little bit unfortunate. It looks great regardless IMO, but they also had it displayed in a more natural way when the figure was revealed:

It was made out of leather I think, in the scenes where it wasn't a CGI-mess that is :lol

Erm......yes. my opinion fella. His arm stuck out like he's a hitch hiker flagging down a car. Could have posed him far more dynamically!

Agreed. What a mess!

Like this?

They took a basic pose of the character and changed it up a bit by articulating the cape, I think that’s servicable enough for a decent pose.

Yeah they could have, but it's a toy show, unless it's a diorama or some kind of special display they stick to more basic poses, easier to set up and maintain I assume.

Yeah that looks better.

I guess figures just like people can have bad angles and lighting.

Absolutely, to the point where colors or shapes look completely different than they do in-hand. The good thing is we usually get multiple angles and lighting settings from convention displays and then official pictures with a studio setup so we know what to expect most of the time.

Someone like Den-O, Kickback, Ryan, googlev or the other many talented photographers who post here regularly can probably write you a short story about all that :lol

I'm not, I hate cloth capes. Give me rubbery ones like what Hasbro uses for Marvel Legends and DC used for their Icons line.

They did a terrible job posing him! Looks nothing like that pic save for the arm

So I was randomly browsing the Tamashii website and found that Ultraman Orb Origin's product page has a link to a survey.

It's the usual "Where do you live, where did you hear about the figure, where did you buy it, what else do you collect" and stuff, but also which Ultraman figures you want to see in the future (It includes newer ones like Ginga, Victory, and X!) and: How much you enjoy Org Origin. How you like the paint, accessories, molding and so on.

I've never seen anything specific like this, it really looks like they want to see how this one does before they dive into more. And they also ask which Ultraman Orb forms you want to see released, from the prototypes we've seen.

If you want to make your voice heard, do the survey, google translate helps.

It's open until November, you can find it here: https://p-bandai.jp/enquete/1000004730_outline/

I will wait until I have Orb Origin in hand so I can give proper responses to the quality of the figure. If you don't plan on buying Orb Origin, just judge based on pictures and tell them they did a good job or something.

Also, really random tidbit: There's a question asking you which SHF Ultraman figures you own and/or plan on buying. It lists all the figures released and upcoming that we know of, but... there's also Ultraman Geed Primitive in there. Like, all the other choices are figures already released or confirmed for release. But Geed is in there too.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... I wonder what that means... ;)

As cool as that sounds, the survery is all in Japanese, so it does me no good.
