The signature weapon, the Tilsonite Sword, even recreates the Garadama spinning gimmick.

Three types of hands are included in total.

The Color Timer on the chest can be swapped between clear blue and pink.

At first glance, the limb articulation looks pretty standard.

The hip and ankle joints are very flexible, making it really easy to pose the legs.

Together with Ultraman Decker, from 2022.

This kit is Ultraman Blazar released in the Figure-rise Standard series. As the latest Ultraman series that aired in 2023, the entire body is made up of a striking color combination of silver, black, blue, and red — and most of that color scheme has been cleverly broken up through parts separation and system injection runners.

The real highlight of this kit is ultimately its exceptional color separation, and notably, a full-on system injection runner has been used for the first time in a while. The silver and blue/red colors on the main parts of the torso and limbs are combined purely through molding technology. (Seerunner photos) On top of that, the other silver/black/blue/red parts are also meticulously broken up into tiny individual pieces — honestly, it's hands-down the most impressive color separation of any Bandai plastic model released so far. The downside is that there are so many small parts that assembly gets a bit tricky, and even then, some colors still require stickers.

The articulation joints themselves are similar in layout to previous kits, but overall the movement is very efficient. Thanks to that, even in a wide-legged stance it maintains solid ground contact and great proportions, making dynamic poses much easier to pull off. The naturalness of the action poses is top-tier even among Figure-rise Standard kits, and the joint strength is solid too, so poses hold well.

As for accessories, only one dedicated weapon is included — the Tilsonite Sword — which even features the Garadama spinning gimmick. You can also swap the chest Color Timer between clear blue and pink. No stand is included, so overall this kit comes pretty light on accessories.

All in all, this is a really appealing kit thanks to its exceptional color separation and eye-catching system injection runners. The articulation quality is excellent too, making it an overall A+ kit. If you're someone who loves kits with great color separation, this is definitely one I'd recommend you try at least once. :-)
