S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Taiga

Kiwami · 07-31-2019, 11:51 PM

The son of Ultraman Taro and hero of his own currently airing show enters the S.H. Figuarts line, it's Ultraman Taiga!

Taiga will be a December 2019 retail release, he includes 4 sets of hands and an alternate color timer. He will only cost you 3250¥, a steal for such a gorgeous figure.

Pre-orders for Ultraman Taiga will go up today, August 1st in Japan.

Can't see why Tamashii didn't include a Storium Blaster effect with him.

Oh man, he's already up for pre-order AND he's only 3000 yen. Cool!

Y'know, after looking at this figure up-close, I kinda wish they'd designed Taiga's Color Timer to be shaped like Taro's Ultra Badge. It would've been a nice callback.

But it's a cool-looking figure. Still wish I had the spare change for an S.H. Figuarts Zero though!

You know what is great about Taiga? It's that while the basis for his look is from his father Ultraman Taro, he has hints of GARO and Dragon Ranger/MMPR Green.

I love this so much. I hope Titus, Fuma and Tregear are coming as well, I need them all.

Zero is really good, perfect sculpt and paint with lots of cool accessories which work astonishingly well. Like, the hands molded to hold his Zero Sluggers are perfect, the Sluggers slide in so smoothly, it's oddly satisfying to do.

Please elaborate as I have no clue about neither Power Rangers nor Garo.

Welp, the GARO part was because his upcoming power-up Photon Earth. The way how it is mostly gold and black and how his horns are placed reminds me of GARO. As for the Green Ranger bit, if his chest piece was completely gold, his silver parts green, and his red parts white that screams Tommy for me.

No Storium Blaster effect part? Don't pull a Zi-O Bandai come on.

What would be messed up is if it was two pieces and each was assorted with Titus and Fuuma.

I would be happier if it came with Taiga Photon Earth or Tri-Storium.
