Max arrived yesterday from AmiAmi and Jack today from eToysJapan!

I like Jack a lot, especially with all the accessories he has. The only downer is with only his two extra right hands being able to hold his javelins or shield, I can't have him duel-wield (I'd had in mind posing him sort of like a Roman soldier - crouched, shield down, javelin at the ready).

Max is pretty slick - he does look and feel a little bulkier than other Ultramen but not dramatically so. The molding on his chest, back and shoulder parts is nice and his effects parts look great. This could be pilot error but the hand with the Max Galaxy piece doesn't feel like it pops into the ball joint all the way - if I move the hand around too much it can slide off. It's not something that's in danger of falling off at random, but it's something I'll have to keep in mind.





Overall, two more satisfying Ultra-Act releases in the books! I just picked up Mirror Knight (an eBay listing was put on sale for $30ish with free shipping) so hopefully that should be here by next week.

Max is a Heisei Ultra (right?) and it's a pretty solid release. So is Gaia V2, though at this point you'll probably have to pay extra for the first release bonus effects parts (if those interested you). Nexus Junis is awesome, it's the one I love to fiddle with the most.

I've also liked how Agul V2 and the aforementioned Dyna Flash Type look as well. If it's still there in a couple weeks I might snag an Agul V2 from AmiAmi along with an Evangelion shirt preorder I've been eyeing.
