Only Ultraman has figures in the S.H. Figuarts line, though many are now going for very high aftermarket prices if you can find them.

Shoot, any chance for rereleases or repaints? Such as for Gomora?

So far, only Ultraman and Zetton have had recent repaints release (Metallic 55th Anniversary Version and Hundred Degree Fireball Version respectively).

Thanks for the heads up! Is this line better than the Ultra Act line?

Put it this way: with Figuarts, you can actually use the accessories the figure comes with.

Hopefully we get the Shin Ultraman kaiju, but seeing now that not many Kaiju are released as FiguArts, I doubt it.

I was actually referring to what is behind Tiga.

He does have a reissue in August - oh, that's this month. Yeah, you missed out on that.

Still, that Golza looks pretty good! Wondering if a Melba is coming as well.

Well, as much as I'd like to have that Golza, I'm realistic and already befriend the thought, that his pre-orders will pop up randomly on the Tamashii Webshop and be sold out within 10 minutes again so that I will have to rely on scalped triple digits before it is even released. It was that way with too many recent SHF Ultraman figures, sadly... -_-

Erm... I missed that, too. Sold out everywhere again anyway it seems... :roll:

Oh no, they do announce when pre-orders go up. It's always on a Friday at 16:00 JST.

Based on what I've seen, SHFA Tiga isn't worth it. They tried to used rubber for parts of the torso of the body. Unfortunately, this means paint rubbing and chipping almost immediately just from doing initial poses. And the rubber will just fall apart in time. Another case of Bandai doing weird experimentation with their figures, but using popular characters just so that they can make sure they sell.
Well, that's certainly a thing.

JUST bought the regular release

update:
okay it arrived
Why the FUCK is this figure so good? I got burned by a Minipla Sevenger sticker defect, 2021 SHMA Kong being a loose jointed POS, but this. It's perfect! No improper paint, just, a really really good figure.

I finally got some fabric to make a new cape for FiguArts Batman. The original was ridiculously thick and completely unmanageable. I still need to sew the seam lines into it sometime, but it already made a world of difference.

So Golza and the GUTS Wings are two separate releases instead of one. Which is... bizarre.

I mean, this is the same company that initially made Mechagodzilla and Garuda two separate releases. Not that bizarre given past records.

So, I don't really follow Ultraman releases normally, but I am confused why Golza is a Figuart release and not a Monsterart release.
I was that kid who made bad Godzilla games in RPG Maker and complained when no one paid attention to them :D

Ultraman characters have never been in MonsterArts, and Godzilla characters have never been FiguArts. Why are people confused all the sudden?
