S.H. Figuarts Ultraman & Alien Baltan Release Info

Guyver Spawn · 02-22-2016, 02:38 PM

I do kinda wish that Baltan would be a SHMA figure since I have a feeling that he will be too small when scaling up to the Godzilla SHMA figures.

I'm fine if that happens, as long as these don't shrink in size compared to Ultra-Acts. If there is a size difference, and if any future Ultra bodies that don't have Ultra-Acts yet show up in SHF with a smaller stature...that'll be an unpleasant decision to make for me.

I agree. We've yet to get some of the newer Ultras, like Victory and X. I say merge the line, but keep the UA scale strictly for the Ultraman franchise. Guess we have to wait and see what happens.

I need to see which is better between the Ultra-Act and Figuarts one. I definitely want and need a good figure of the original UltraMan.

The special SHF Ultraman page with the official pics is up now:

I'm definitely going to have to get Ultraman. Of course this is coming out right after GMK and the same month as '54 Goji. Then Baltan comes out...Yeah, this gonna be tough. Hopefully they'll make plenty, because something is probably going to have to be moved to Christmas with all this stuff being released so close. x_x

With that said, this looks damn good. I thought the renewal Ultraman in the UA line was good enough. But, well, this looks a hell of a lot more like a human and more screen accurate. Honestly it kinda makes the UA version looks like it has odd proportions by comparison, in my eyes anyway.

Also will probably will pick up the damaged buildings at some point. They look a bit better than the MA ones.

They look good, but I'd be more interested in them if Ultra-Act didn't exist. Maybe I'll buy Baltan.

I wonder why these aren't branded "Ultra-Act x SH Figuarts" like the Manga guys.

Is probably due to that the last releases of the "Ultra-Act" line were exclusives, nevertheless I hope somehow they give continuity to that great line.

For me these new figures are very tempting...

I don't like the joints in the groin area (comparing them with their predecessors) but everything else looks pretty good.

Starscreamer · 02-25-2016, 06:27 PM

so the first things that come to mind seeing the buildings...Kamen Rider J figuart? That and some great staging for my SRCs...

I like the upcoming Ultraman figuart better than the Ultra Act 2.0 version. Looks more faithful to the suit and does have that muscular body look to it.
