I love the way you put this. The way you phrase this and the video that SHINOBI03 kindly posted of Anno describing Ultraman's alien nature really excites me. I love the notion of exploring the otherness of the character, and the distance between us and him.

Having said that, I implicitly trust everything Anno, even if I'm not that convinced about Higuchi's work and didn't initially warm to Shin Godzilla, so I would be willing to entertain the introduction of other Ultras, but to be honest, I think it's kind of good that we don't get to see the "expanded universe" right away. Just having Ultraman alone restores some of the mystery to the setting, I feel. |

I think this one image, of all things, has instantly sold me on them using CG for the movie. Just looking at those proportions made me instantly agree that "Oh, okay. Yeah, a guy in a suit would look too much like a guy in a suit. I get it now!" Every inch of that body is subtly wrong in some way, and I might even love it because of that? It seems like the changes being made are very considered.

Well remember, this is a budget toy of the design. The articulation is basic enough to make it playable.
If we were to see something like a Figuart (Will be shocked if we didn't) or other higher-end piece, the articulation would obviously look more streamlined and work with this version of Ultraman's more lanky, alien-ish proportions a lot better.

I don't have a problem with how they're adapting the figures, since I'm probably one of the few people who don't have the budget to collect figuarts and just gets the vinyl figures, so long as the paint job is decent, though I'd love to. And that's not a bad thing, I was just stating how it looks to me, I don't hate the design or anything, or have anything against the figure makers, after all, the design is growing on me, much like how it did with Shin Godzilla, which at first, I wasn't sure how to feel about the design, and then it grew to the point of me loving it. I do plan to get figures from this, either figuarts, depending how it looks, or stick with the sofubi. Besides, I don't own any Ultra Action Figures to really compare and who knows, maybe the physical figure will actually look better than what we have of the one image.

I'm really excited for this, and I thought the CGI looked pretty good. Some of the comments here had me expecting tv series-level quality.

Do you think Neronga and Gabora will be the only enemies we will see in the film? I expect they'd throw in Bemular as the first kaiju, and for aliens it'd be Baltan as the final advisory.
Or in case there would be Shin Ultraman 2 they make the first one kaiju-exclusive and make 2 all about the aliens. |
