“Precious friends, fight together with me!”

7 years after Earth first encountered the giant of light Ultraman, Ultraman Taro arrived! Taking the human Kotaro Higashi as his host, Taro fought against legions of Kaiju as they invaded the Earth. And for years since, Taro has fought hard and earned the respect of his peers. Mentoring new generations of heroes at the Ultra Coliseum, Taro also went on to instruct and guide the likes of Mebius & Ginga. This Master fighter has lived a long and hard fought life, but that didn’t stop him from settling down either. Passing his skills down to yet another generation, Taro instills the hope & power of the land of light in his son, Ultraman Taiga!

Recently we had a chance to review both S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Ginga, and the Ultraman Suit Ver 7 thanks to our good friends at Bluefin Brands. Now they’ve treated us to something a bit more classic with S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Taro! Hailing from the 6th Ultra series which bears his name, many a fan of the New Generation Ultras will recognize Taro from his time mentoring Ginga. This figure will appeal to any fan of the character though. Recereating his timeless appearance and updating his articulation to modern standards, SHF Taro will stand tall with your other heroes. Armed with the mighty Bracelet Lancer, Taro also includes the iconic Storium Ray effect part for all of your Kaiju destroying needs!

We’ve packed a full 50+ image gallery into the review thread linked below. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see the entire thread for S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Taro. Next time, we’re finally rounding out our reviews of Power Rangers Lighting Collection Wave 3 with the Mighty Morphin Red Ranger!

“Actually. I’m Ultraman.”

In a world where the giant of light Ultraman, left Earth years ago, the SSSP has found a new way to defend their world. Relying on individuals who possess the Ultraman Factor, and equipping them with suits of armor, the heroes of Earth fight back Kaiju! But in the case of Dan Moroboshi, he has no Ultraman Factor. Lucky for him, SSSP has developed a next generation Ultraman suit specifically for those who don’t possess these abilities. The Ultraman Suit Ver. 7 not bestows non-powered individuals with the ability to fight Kaiju, but it can be upgraded after repeated combat. Evolving and adapting to any situation, the Seven Suit is a force to be reckoned with!

The Ultraman Suit Ver 7 is a gorgeous entry in Tamashii Nations Ultraman line of S.H. Figuarts. Recreating the Seven Suit as it appears in the Netflix ULTRAMAN anime, this figure implements some dynamic and interesting new choices for articulation we don’t often see. That being said, it makes for a figure with tons of expressive personality. Armed with his Throwing Knife & Specium Sword and a sweeping fiery effect part for it, Dan Moroboshi is ready to defend the Earth!

Check out our full 60+ image gallery of the Seven Suit after the jump! Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see the full gallery & review. Next time we visit a hero of the Showa era with Ultraman Taro!

“Ultralive!”

The Dark Spark War. The forces of good and evil battling across infinite dimensions. The bleak future where Ultraman Ginga battled his evil half, Dark Lugiel. Ended in a draw, every Ultraman, Woman, Alien, & Monster across reality was reduced to lifeless Spark Dolls. Scattering among the stars, some, fell to Earth. There, Hikaru Raido has returned to his hometown to sort through visions of the future. But before he can find the answers, Hikaru meets Ultraman Taro! Retaining his sentience as a Spark Doll, Taro uses his experience to guide the young Hikaru along his new journey as he discovers the secrets of the Dark Spark War, and protects the Earth as Ultraman Ginga!

S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Ginga is a milestone to me. I remember reviewing the old Ultra-Act release back in 2014 and thinking it was pretty great. It goes without saying that the Figuart, improves on that release in every conceivable way. With a defined sculpt, lavish details, and astounding articulation improvements, Ultraman Gina can pose with the best of them. And he looks incredibly stylish while doing so! Including multiple sets of hands and a color timer, Ginga also carries his powerful Ginga Spark Lance and comes with a effect part to recreate the Ginga Cross Shoot!

We’ve put together over 60 images of S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Ginga for your viewing pleasure. You can see the entire gallery and read through our extensive review after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the Tokunation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Coming up soon, we’re doing two more back to back Ultra galleries! S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Taro & Ultraman Suit Ver. 7!
