This is Medicom's recently released 1/6 scale 12" Real Action Hero (RAH) Ultraman Taro which follows in the footsteps of Ultraman Ace.
Medicom's RAH Ultraman Taro only comes with five extra hands with different gestures for his signature poses. On his left hand, he wears the Taro Bracelet which converts into a lance. It also fires blue rings of light (Set Beam).
All Medicom's Ultra brothers have a strange looking neck, probably because of the mask/head
Close-up of his head and horns, only Ultraman Taro have horns like Father of Ultra
The Ultra beings' main weakness is that they can only stay on Earth in giant form for a limited span of time, usually not longer than three minutes, owing to a limited supply of energy (Earth's atmosphere filters out solar energy). This is marked by a light on their chest, usually called the Color Timer, or "warning light," which eventually begins to blink with increasing frequency as his energy supply dwindles (turning from blue to red).
Medicom's Ultraman Taro has ribs on his back like the other Ultra beings
On the whole, I like the Ultra brothers of the Showa Era, along with the Kamen Riders and I'm quite happy with this release.
Up Next: Henshin Cyborg Ultraman Taro
I think this piece is much more better and definitely well quality control than Ultraman Type C..
ReplyDeleteSo far so good :) it seems only Medicom Ultraman Type C quality failed. That shouldn't happen to collectibles that we fork out so much moolah for :(
