Together with the Figure-rise Standard Ultraman Zero.

This kit is Ultraman Z Original released in the Figure-rise Standard series. He's a character from the 2020 series Ultraman Z, and also a disciple of Ultraman Zero. Just like previous kits in the line, it features intricate color separation and keeps stickers to a minimum while still nailing the on-screen colors.

The unusual color combinations mean the color separation can get pretty complex, and the part shapes are often tricky to figure out — so you'll want to follow the manual carefully and build it methodically, almost like LEGO. The assembly process is unique, but the parts are smooth and fit together nicely, so it's actually a satisfying build. Overall articulation is above average with solid joint strength, making it easy to pull off and hold all kinds of poses from the show.

Accessories include Beliarok and a PET effect part for the Zestium Ray. Since Beliarok's mouth is articulated, you can recreate scenes of Ultraman Z having a conversation with it, just like in the show. On top of that, the color timer can be swapped between 2 colors depending on the situation.

All in all, this is a well-done high-quality action figure model kit, and if you're a fan of the Ultraman series, it's definitely worth picking up and enjoying. :-)
