Effect pieces for Earth Garon and Ultraman Blazar announced.


I feel like I'm being gaslight with how much praise I see that entire project is getting on places like Twitter. Ultraman deserves much better than some decade old script with Ultraman plastered on top.

been a long time since i bought any Ultra Figuarts... but Father looks pretty dope.

I wasn't around when Ultra-Act was happening, so I had to looks this up and yeah, that's a chad alright.

Gotta say, as nice as super accurate figures are, there's a certain charm to "let's make this design into a figure, our way" and then have cool stuff like this:

This is cool. Pass for me though, as I don't have or plan to buy Earth Garon.

The thing is it looks very well animated for one, which sadly isn't the standard nowadays but an exception, and two, "decade old script with Ultraman plastered on top" is a crude way to put it, but accurate, not necessarily a bad thing though.

A script isn't of poor quality because it went unnoticed for a long time. Especially something niche like this. It was always an Ultraman-inspired story about parenthood involving a giant hero and a baby monster, but when Netflix picked it up it went into Tsuburaya's hands by complete chance, they liked it so much they offered the project the freedom to use the Ultraman IP.

That's what gets people excited, this project was always in hands of people who clearly love Ultraman, and now it was acknowledged by the spark that created it and thus allowed to become more than a tribute. I will definitely watch it, just to see how it turned out.

I have my issues with what we've seen of the new Ultraman Netflix series but the SHF looks totally fine to me. The style isn't one of my issues at all and I think this figure captures it real well.

The fact that it's fully-articulated while still retaining its very lanky "alien" physique is still very impressive.

That's just people being gullible falling for PR talk. "This story was always totes mgotes about Ultraman." Spare me. People fall all over themselves whenever some western creative has a passing interest in Toku.

Most Western creatives are hypocrites and pathological liars. However, you can also throw that against other ethnic groups as well (partially considering that Americans keep going on about multicultural and all that). Happens in Europe too, considering Europe and America are practically mirrors of each other.

Speaking of Ultraman Rising, off tangent, I hope they create a live action version later if they ever do a Ultra Galaxy Fight type of thing and release a figuarts for that as well. They could probably even get Yuuki Yamada who played Joe/Gokai Blue to promote in Japan since he's voicing Ken in the Japanese dub.

I didn?t write that Kiwami did thanx

Do you think you could keep your "The degenerate West is poisoning the beautiful East" clownery elsewhere?
