Hikari looks so great. I know him and 80 are on tap as exclusives, but I wish there was another retail Ultra-Act scheduled between now and spring, instead of just some re-releases.

In the meantime...finally opened up my new stuff!




The Dark set is nice; it's not quite as loaded as the Zero two-pack, but it's still quite pleasing to get a web exclusive that doesn't feel lacking in display options. I prefer Seven Dark since the color scheme looks a bit more...consistent, I guess. Ultraman Dark has a (lot of) bright-ass red going on, and his dark silver head looks off compared to the red & black body, whereas Seven Dark at least has the dark silver on the shoulders that doesn't make it look as awkward. Coming with the Emerium beams for both Ultraseven & Ultraseven Dark is an added plus.

King is ok...another web exclusive that doesn't include much. All he comes with is the cape (standard mantle design), extra shoulder mantle piece, King Hammer (it will take a lot for me to keep from referring to this as the Ultra Drum Stick) and the standard stage adapter & extra hands. You have to remove the standard mantle piece he comes with & swap it out with the wider one so you can plug in the cape (the standard piece covers the plug for the cape). He's bulky like Father with wider feet, so even with the cape he doesn't have much balance issues in standard poses. I do wish they'd at least included the King Flasher, at least, so he had at least one effect piece to use (wouldn't have minded the Baptism Ray too, though not sure how that would've worked).

Agul V1 is...well, slightly different Agul, though to me he's more noticeably different than the difference between Gaia V1 vs V2. I mainly got it for the different explosion effects. Would've been nice if they'd thrown in another effect beyond the blade, but oh well.
