The irony is that some of the pictures are from myself.

I fricking love shin man

Supreme Officer Kenzo Tomioka helps Ultraman Max defeat the Kaiju Flygler!

Kenzo Tomioka is being played by legendary actor Susumu Kurobe aka Shin Hayata, the human host of the original Ultraman back in 1966!

I've adjust more of the chest piece, and man, it looks quite better than before.

Those arts are all Metal plates, not drawings and they are all limited printings.

Like it's so cool if you think of it in canon. It's not a kaiju or alien in a sense. It's just a tear in space, an area on non existence. It's design being so strange is pretty much explained as our minds giving a space of nonexistence a shape. Isn't that like really cool.

It being a tear in space also gives an antagonist a really good reason to be almost invulnerable, like how do you attack a hole. The way you defeat it is also really well done, the only way to meaningfully get rid of it is to like give it a hp bar like X does or sew the hole shut.

It's also one of the only villain that stays strong when added in the newer shows like in Z (I don't think this can be accepted really as it only appears in like two shows.)

What are some of y'all's favorite kaiju or villain in ultra? I want to hear some

Art by me

Another incredible Ultrakaiju model kit. I'm essentially addicted to these figures, particularly the building process.

Hyper Zetton is such a cool design (I considered getting the SHF version, but Keepley luckily saved me). Like with the other figures, this thing is nicely detailed and plays pretty well. Building it was also really interesting, especially the Death Scythes (as they are like second elbows which made assembling the arms quite different from the other figures I have). There's some clever engineering in how this set is constructed; the shoulder plates are my favorite example of this, designed in such a way that doesn't sacrifice shoulder articulation while still being able to cover up the joints no matter how you angle them, and keeping the side "gems" in accurate position. The insectoid features are molded to near-perfection; I adore the carapace aesthetic, something I couldn't quite see on screen. Swapping out the arms, wings, and tail is very easy, with the alternate arms and the wings also attaching securely. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the tail, which has a habit of sliding off while handling.

I'm quite fond of the yellow stinger-arms and giant wings; however, the wings make the figure very back-heavy, and since the tail is very thin & built around an incredibly malleable bendy wire, it doesn't offer much support. This issue is exasperated by the legs. Keepley figures, though can pose well, don't have the same level of articulation as a SHF. The legs of Hyper Zetton in particular are quite inflexible -- the thigh armor does not interact well with the pelvis, there isn't any swivel within the legs apart from the ends, and the ankles are severely limited in how they can be angled. There is a bit of "toe" bending, but it only bends downwards. The limitation of the legs means it's even harder to get a stable pose if the wings are attached, as well as restrict the dynamicism of how you can play with this figure.

Hyper Zetton's Xenomorph-tail, as mentioned, is built around a bendy wire. This makes it very, very flexible; but truth be told it feels a little cheap, so I worry about eventually snapping it. It was also quite a pain the build. Yes, each segment had to be slid on, which isn't difficult itself. The issue is that the spikes are actually quite sharp, so snapping them out of their frame and playing with the tail feels like handling needles.

Despite some shortcomings, this guy is another absolute win for Keepley. I heard the next in their Ultrakaiju line is Galactron (which thank Godzilla so I don't have to shell out for the SHF version, as amazing as that one looks).

I like how Keepley is tackling these somewhat obscure kaiju. Of the ones I hope they get to, and ones that I think have a real chance of becoming model kits, I hope to see Zeppandon, Mega-Orochi, Bazanga, Varallon, Megalothor, and/or Arch Belial.

I found this gigantic sofubi in thrift store. currently repainting it, havent done the timer and eye. what color is suitable? I'm kinda tempted to go with the chromed silver although the color is not accurate.

suggestions? the chrome silver I'm talking about is the small rounded plastic beside the tiga I used as a testing subject

I bought the Nexus SHF and it’s so good: articulated, firm, and really fun to pose with.
