With the recent premiere of "Ultraman Arc," the sixth installment in the Reiwa era "Ultraman Series," Japan's BANDAI SPIRITS Collectors Division TAMASHII NATIONS' articulated figure brand "S.H.Figuarts" has officially announced three new products from the series. This article will introduce the "Ultraman Arc" (Ultraman Arc), scheduled for release starting September 2024! The suggested retail price is 4,000 JPY.
Since K-DAY (Kaiju Day) 16 years ago, when monsters simultaneously appeared across the globe, kaiju disasters have become a part of daily life. In Japan, in addition to the "Earth Defense Force" which subdues monsters with military force, there is also the "SKIP" (Scientific Kaiju Investigation and Prevention) institute, dedicated to preventing and mitigating kaiju disasters. The protagonist of this series, "Yuma Hishiki," is a new member of SKIP with extensive knowledge of monsters. While SKIP was investigating the cosmic parasitic organism "Utsu" found in a monster's horn, they were suddenly attacked by a monster. In the nick of time, Yuma connected with "Lution" (Lution), a messenger of light from a distant galaxy, transforming into a mysterious giant who protects people!
This figure stands approximately 15 cm tall and has been thoroughly supervised by Tsuburaya Productions' LSS modeling department, faithfully recreating Ultraman Arc's in-show physique, color timer, and the muscle contours on his chest and abdomen. Unlike the modern style of Blazar in 2023, Arc's body, primarily in red and silver, evokes a visual sense of returning to the Showa-era Ultraman series. The head, incorporating elements of a cosmic boomerange, is also meticulously reproduced. Coupled with excellent articulation and multiple interchangeable hands, you can pose him in cool stances performing his special move, Arc Final Rise. Accessories also include a red color timer replacement part and the Arc Eye-Gear Sword, which incorporates transparent materials for enhanced realism, allowing you to recreate dynamic battle poses!
