It’s not terrible at first glance, however, upon closer expression, you can see the etched-in lines of details that were just left out, which is the tiniest bit frustrating. He’s certainly got more details than many other Ultras in this scale and style, but there are a few parts of his design that just go unpainted. The complicated nature of his design also translates to his color scheme, but not quite so much to his paint. He’s certainly one of the more complicated Ultra designs, but it all flows together pretty well, and he looks pretty darn cool there’s no denying that. The build of the body is ever so slightly stylized to be a little more heroic in its proportions, but beyond that, he looks to be a pretty close match to the design from the show. His sculpt is unique to him, and is about what you’d expect from a softer vinyl figure. Hardly super posable, but that’s never been the intent of this line.

He, like all of the 500 Series figures, stands about 5 1/2 inches tall and has 3 points of articulation at the shoulders and waist. I wasn’t immediately familiar with this variant, but I correctly IDed it as some form of Ginga. This fusion made its debut in Ultraman Ginga S The Movie: Showdown! The 10 Ultra Warriors! which I assure is the actual title of the film, which I most certainly have not exaggerated in any way. Ginga Victory represents the fused form of Ultras…stick with me here…Ginga and Victory. Both series work on the “evergreen” style of distribution, where most figures in a line are kept in constant stock, at least in Japan. Ultramen Ginga Victory and Jack were released in the Ultra Hero 500 Series as figures 30 and 04, respectively, while Alien Baltan was released in the Ultra Monster 500 Series as figure 01. I’ll be looking at a few of those offerings today. While I’m sure I’ll get around to picking up some of those Figuarts releases one of these days, for the time being, there are some lower price-point options to keep me occupied, such as Bandai’s Ultra Hero 500 Series and it’s companion Ultra Monster 500 Series. In February of 2015, I looked at the Ultra-Act Mebius, but the ending of that line and its subsequent move to the slightly smaller Figuarts scale has left me without any regular Ultra purchases to review. It’s been a painfully long time since I’ve reviewed any Ultraman figures. ULTRAMAN GINGA VICTORY, ULTRAMAN JACK, & ALIEN BALTAN
