Ultra-Act

Alexx · 11-18-2014, 06:59 PM

Welp, got my first Ultra Act! Been eyeing them for awhile, and decided to toss one on a recent Amazon purchase to push it into the free shipping zone. I chose Evil Tiga because I liked the colors. Then I did this:

Anyway, I posted a review of 'em on the 'ol blog (though I'm sure no one needs a review of this guy, by now). He's pretty cool, but the legs are a little funky, how they sorta plug into the pelvis. Are they all like this, or do more recent ones move a little more smoothly?

I'd like to get some more, but I'm lookin' around to see what people think are the best ones so far. I'm really hoping for an Ultraman Cosmos sometime, since he was the first Ultraman I ever had (some articulated one wearing a spandex suit that you couldn't remove).

Thanks, GLP. I guess I'll give the light up version a pass then. I did consider picking up the Ultra-Act Red King, but it just doesn't grab me like EX does; I just like the colors better I guess.

Alexx,
Was your Cosmos figure the Corona mode that had a tiny plastic Baltan? I had that figure, too! I really need to get those Tamashii Flame Effects.

Open Your Eyes,

I really like EX Red King and considered getting it regardless. Check out reviews and see what you think. Gomora isn't cheap but he is a great figure.

Wow, lovely pics!

I have Max, he's pretty cool and last I checked fairly affordable.

I'll see if I can find some reviews on the guy since the CStoys unboxing/review made the light up feature seem pretty cool and appealing.

I went ahead and ordered the spark doll cause, well, $5 lol.

But yeah, if my first experience with an Ultra-Act meets expectations as I think it will, I'll probably go ahead and shell out for Gomora since he's my top pick thanks to the Ultra Galaxy Movie that introduced Zero - and me to the Ultra Series. Cool movie and great introduction to the franchise. I'd love to have him and Zero on the shelf someday.

Thanks again for the response, GLP.

No problem. If you want to see Ultra-Act comparison pics for scale just let me know.

Just about! Mine is the Luna mode? I think that's what it's called.

He came with the same tiny Baltan, though, so I'm sure they're from the same line. I bought him years ago because I felt sorry for 'em - it was collecting dust on the shelves of the local import store for what felt like forever, and they had reduced his price so much that I just bought him out of curiosity. I loved 'em, honestly, and I still like the goofy thing, even if it can't hold a pose.

Thanks! And wow, Max is pretty cool looking! There are so many figures in this line I didn't know about. I'll consider that one!

The only thing is, Red King is rather affordable because he's easily the worst of the four kaiju.

Golza, the best, is also the hardest to get because he was exclusive. The seijin fare better price-wise besides Baltan and hold up in terms of quality even though only Ace Killer resembles the current Ultra-Act body.

Has anyone seen a review for the Ultraman Dark and Ultra Seven Dark set?
I am considering buying the set but want to know more about it.

Thanks

YouTube toy reviewer "DiegoDoom" will have a review of the Dark Ultras set next week.
