Ultraman One:12 Collective Figure by Mezco Toyz

[TheBlueMarvel]

Neat!

[dukefett]

Not bad at all, considering the electronics and breakaway buildings and stuff, $105 is pretty good IMO.

[emeraldnite]

Preordered, but I hope they make some adjustments between now and final release to get the outfit more accurate to the show (particularly shrinking the chest, which usually isn't so broad).

[deecee4]

A brothers mantle by itself in the SHF line goes for $50 so all this for around $100 is a pretty good deal.

[RamenRider]

The visible stitching around the side of the costume is rather ugly. The accessories are great but the costume just looks wrong with the stitches being so obvious.

And for the price I can get like 2 Ultraman SHF’s so… pass.

Not sure why they didn't make the back of the head red. The rest looks really good but the head is bugging me

I just noticed that too! Still sticking with my preorder and crossing my fingers tightly for updates.

Do those Ultraman come with any buldings or a soft goods cape or electronics?

I've seen a couple people complain about the stitching, it's impossible to do without stitching. I'd rather the stitching than a million articulation breaks. His suit is so simple they look terrible in comparison.

Nope. Buildings are sold separately, capes are sold separately. So I can easily skip them if I don't need them.

If we want to make this into a pissing contest for whatever dumb reason, a standard retail SHF Ultraman bundled with a building set would be $48.

That's too bad, because it looks awful.

Yup, his suit is so simple that you immediately notice stitches that shouldn't be there.

Articulation breaks are plastic joints, it's not like they're trying to be seamless. But trying to be seamless by going with a suit and still failing is worse IMO.

Same. It feels like to big of a miss to not fix

The 50th anniversary set (figure and buildings) was like $70 or $80 when it came out.

$60. But I am talking about the Japanese prices, which I know is a bit unfair since if you would want to obtain them here you either pay shipping or a local shop that charges you more to make a profit. That adds up to the prices you mention.

For the $48, that's the Japanese price of last year’s Ultraman Z which was rather affordable plus the standard building set.

But to be honest, I don't know why I wanted to have this argument to begin with, Dukefett clearly likes the figure or at least the direction Mezco is going for, I don't, and there's no reason to butt heads about that. So I’m sorry for being needlessly aggressive and derailing the thread to pity arguments over personal taste.

Z was $35ish in yen I thought. Where are you getting these prices at?

He is. Though sold out immediately and now double.

[ghostbogey]

Yeah....
The only "Neg" to me...
Is the "stitching"..

The Ultra suit would have been nice...
If it was made, like a one piece "Scuba"...
with hidden zipper in back IMHO..

Well...Que sa ra sa ra" I guess =^)

[drawingfreak316]

1. His back side not being red is concerning, hopefully they change that.
2. The eyes look weird, maybe because they seem farther apart or they don't have the black eye holes underneath the egg shaped eyes.
3.The chest is definietly to wide and big. I hope they have a new update image of the final figure later in the year, before i pre-order.

They pretty much never show updated images of figures before release. Mezcos don't stay in stock very long if at all anymore. If anyone is interested in this, just grab a preorder now. Most places charged NRDs but Dorkside doesn't and you can just cancel there easily, so I definitely recommend that.

Complaining about stitching in 1/12 or 1/6 figures even is like complaining about physics. They literally cannot make them any smaller. Zippers cannot be 1/12 or 1/6 in size and actually function. I get complaints, but complain about something that's literally possible instead of impossible.

[Dr Kain]

From far away it looks cool, but then some of those close up shots were like, eh.

I love all of his accessories, but I'd like to see how he scales with the Figuarts before I were to even consider it.

He's probably gonna scale closer to ultra act than figuarts.
