In case you were let down by the S.H.Figuarts version of the Manga Ultraman character, Bandai may have an alternative for you with the recently revealed Figure-Rise Standard Ultraman B-Type model kit.
For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the Figure-Rise Standard series: it’s a line of model kits that you build and sticker yourself ala Gundam or Minipla. The Figure-Rise Standard kits covers characters that are outside of the Gundam franchise, in the past we’ve seen a handful of Kamen Riders and Dragon Ball characters done up in this line. Figure Rise Standard Ultraman B Type is 1/12 scale so it shouldn’t look too badly when standing next to your S.H.Figuarts collection.
Accessories with this kit will include optional hand parts, effect parts, a big cannon, and an LED light that can switch from blue to red. All of this can be yours for 4500 yen and will see a release in November 2018.
November 2018 release, retailing for 4500 yen.
Includes various effect parts and an LED which can be placed in the chest.
This looks great! I'm not super into Ultraman, but this design has always screamed Iron Man to me and I had wanted the SHF to repaint it, but this would be so much easier to work with. I thought it was a bit pricey until I saw the LED unit.
This would actually look amazing repainted into Iron Man.
That's a BFG.
As someone who loves the comic and wanted some representation this is great to see. The SHFs sounded pretty bad which only leaves rather premium priced items from the third party scene. So to have this is much welcome.
When did Ultraman get a gun?!
This would actually look amazing repainted into Iron Man.
Aaaaannnd you just sold me on this. Totally buying one and doing that.
