UltramanTiga
Humans already existed 30 million years ago, developing a highly advanced super-ancient civilization, and "Ultraman Tiga" was the Giant of Light who visited Earth at that time.
However, after humanity's war of light and darkness, the super-ancient humans chose their own path to extinction. Tiga and the other Giants of Light respected humanity's choice, their bodies transforming into stone statues sealed within pyramids, while their souls departed Earth as light.
In 2007, humanity ushered in a new era. Earth was free from invasion and war; long-awaited peace had finally arrived. However, with the appearance of the monster Golza (Japanese: ゴルザ), an asteroid subsequently fell to Earth. Inside the asteroid was a holographic projection device, and the person projected from it claimed to be Yuzare, the captain of the Earth Defense Force and a human priestess from the super-ancient era. She prophesied the appearance of the "Monster of the Earth," Golza, and the "Monster of the Sky," Melba, which indeed appeared shortly thereafter.
The prophecy stated that only Tiga could defeat these two monsters. Daigo Madoka, a new member of GUTS, inherited the genetic makeup of the super-ancient humans and was called by Yuzare, "Because you are both light and human," becoming the chosen one to transform into Ultraman Tiga.
Transformers: Daigo Madoka, Amui, Tsubasa Madoka (the latter two are temporary)
Height: 53 meters (Basic Form)
Weight: 44,000 tons (Basic Form)
Age: Over 30 million years old
Activity Time: 3 minutes
Special Ability: Can teleport. Energy consumption increases with distance, and the distance limit is the energy limit.
The main body stands approximately 16.5cm tall. Accessories include 4 types of interchangeable left hands, 5 types of right hands, Sparklence / Transformation Device, Sparklence stand, Runboldt Beam Shell Bullet effect parts A, B & C, Tiga Freeze Beam effect part, and a display base. Materials include POM, PVC, ABS, magnets, LEDs, and PCBs.
This is essentially Tiga's Version 2.0! Because the base body has been updated to the Dyna body, the articulation and durability of the joints are superior to the first version of Tiga!
Ultraman Tiga features 42 internal movable joints and uses Lycra fabric, just like the material of the actual suit actor, solving the problem of easy tearing. The main body and shoes are handcrafted with fabric wrapping, allowing the suit to display a realistic effect. Magnets are used at the bottom of the feet for stability, making it easy to pose in various styles and increasing flexibility, enhancing playability. Additionally, the body contains LEDs, replicating the original 3-minute light-up effect (changing from blue to red), controlled easily by the Sparklence's magnetic switch. It also includes effect parts for beam firing, with iridescent paint to enhance the three-dimensional effect.
Alphamax's Tiga indeed completely outperforms Shinkocchou Seihou in terms of playability and durability! However, regarding articulation, the neck and waist articulation have been completely enhanced compared to the previous Tiga figure. Another new selling point this time, I think, is the movable magnetic stand! No need for further explanation, just look at the pictures!
However, this Tiga is, to some extent, a 12-inch scale figure. Although the outer suit has reserved some space for joint movement, the range of motion will never be as unrestricted as an SHF. Please pay special attention when playing with it! Additionally, most of the outer suit on this body is Lycra fabric, but this does not mean that the surface paint will not chip. Therefore, after playing, it is still recommended, just like with 12-inch figures, not to keep the joints in a bent state for extended periods.
If you saw their display at ACGHK2024, you'll likely know that besides the Tiga Trinity, the Ultraman Six Brothers are already the next series of works! Can Alphamax obtain the license for Gaia SSV?
