As the sixth work in the Reiwa era "Ultraman Series", "Ultraman Arc", recently premiered, Japan's BANDAI SPIRITS Collectors Division TAMASHII NATIONS' action figure brand "S.H.Figuarts" has also officially announced three new products from the series. This article will introduce the "Luna Armor" (ルーナアーマー), scheduled for release in November 2024! The suggested retail price is 3,800 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 "SKIP," the Kaiju Disaster Prevention Science Research Institute, dedicated to preventing and mitigating kaiju disasters. The protagonist of this work, "Yuma Hishiki," is a new SKIP member with extensive knowledge of monsters. While SKIP was investigating the cosmic parasitic organism "Utsu" from a monster's horn, they were suddenly attacked by a monster. In the nick of time, Yuma connected with "Lution" (ルティオン), a messenger of light from a distant galaxy, transforming into a mysterious giant who protects people!

Ultraman Arc, born from Yuma Hishiki unleashing his imagination and merging with Lution, not only possesses the special move "Arc Final Rise," but can also equip armor by changing "ARC Blocks" when the color timer flashes red due to energy depletion. This includes the "Solus Armor," which unleashes the power of the Sun Armor Block and excels in close-quarters combat, and the "Luna Armor," which unleashes the power of the Moon Armor Block and specializes in agility.

The "S.H.Figuarts Luna Armor" product content does not include the Ultraman Arc body itself, but rather armor parts that can be installed onto Ultraman Arc. While maintaining the original proportions of the Arc action figure, the beautiful curved design of the Luna Armor was created in cooperation with Tsuburaya Productions' LSS modeling department. The armor surface not only meticulously displays varying shades of blue paintwork but also boasts a beautiful metallic texture. The disc weapon, Luna Sorcerer, equipped on the left forearm, can also be projected like a frisbee in its setting, serving as a powerful long-range attack method. Similar to the Solus Armor, this product also includes a Luna Armor Block that can be equipped on Arc's Arc Eye Sword.
