It’s time once again for TokuNation to plume the  depths of it’s newest segment, Toy Tuesdays! This time around we’re forgoing the spandex heroes and bug men in favor of the most venerable of toku hero franchise,s Ultraman! This week we spotlight the recently released Ultra-Act Ultraman Ginga!

Ginga is of course the titular hero of the Ultraman Ginga story featured in New Ultraman Retsudan! Returning soon in Ultraman Ginga S, this is the first collector’s style toy released from the first series. As a part of the long lived Ultra-Act line Ginga has had a lot to live up to, or rather he needed to live up to the quality of the more recent releases in the line. And does he ever! Ginga is by far one of the most dynamic entries in the line, this mold screams with personality.

Ginga is a little lite on the accessories, but as mentioned in our review of the figure, his most important accessory is actually all over his body. The Light Crystals mounted all over his body are fully removable, as are the head and shoulder pads, suggesting Bandai plans to release future accessory sets for Ginga’s other forms and powers! For once it seems Bandai/Tamashii Nations has really planned ahead with a new release. Depending on Ginga’s sales we could be in store for some great surprises in the future.

Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to enjoy a full 40 image gallery of this figure as well as a lengthy review. We’ll see you back here next week for another Toy Tuesdays gallery, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Black & Battle Hopper Renewal!
