INFORMATION
Figure manufacturer CCP JAPAN has released the "1/6 Special Effects Series Ultraman (Type B) Specium Ray High Grade Ver. with LED Lighting Gimmick," a soft vinyl reproduction of "Ultraman (Type B)" from the popular special effects work "Ultraman." Reservations will begin at hobby shops, mass retailers, and web shops nationwide.
The so-called "Type B" Ultraman, used from episodes 14 to 29 of "Ultraman", is being re-released with a built-in LED light-up gimmick as part of CCP JAPAN's high-quality special effects figure series, the "1/6 Special Effects Series"!
Of the A, B, and C type suits used in the original Ultraman due to differences in filming dates, the "B type" has the most elegant shape and is described by some as the most beautiful, and this suit is recreated in a three-dimensional pose with the Specium Ray.
Compared to the earliest A-type, the face has become firmer and wrinkle-free, recreating the sharper B-type mask. The body also has a more massive upper body and the pointed tip, which is a major feature of the B-type.
The suit's line pattern was also thoroughly examined before production. The pose is also recreated with a slightly higher waist than the A-type suit, where the waist was lowered deeply, and the dorsal fin that appears distorted when the suit is posed is also modeled. Not only the overall posture, but also the way the arms are crossed and even the fingertips are sculpted to give a sense of the strength of the suit actor, creating a three-dimensional effect.
The coloring also reflects the many details that were taken into consideration in order to recreate the image in the film. The orange color that appears when light hits Ultraman's suit during filming was recreated by applying highlights. The darkness of the shadows felt on screen was also expressed using shadow coloring, enhancing the three-dimensional effect.
Any dirt that may have occurred during filming has been recreated with inking paint, and the sandy dirt on the figure's feet has been recreated with color, resulting in a high-grade quality figure that gives it a dignified feel.
It also has a built-in LED light-up gimmick that can be turned on by pressing the switch on its abdomen. You can enjoy the faint glow of Ultraman's eyes, which are realized by painting from the inside, and the light of the color timer, which reproduces the change from blue to flashing red.
Enjoy this beautiful and heavy-duty Ultraman B-Type with its LED light-up gimmick and high-grade paintwork.
