Ultraman Suit Jack -Action-

Kit Review

Straight build + Stickers

This kit is the Ultraman Suit Jack -Action-, released as part of the Figure-rise Standard series. It's a massively built, muscular Ultraman that brings to mind something like Iron Man's Hulkbuster — or maybe Ma Dong-seok. The basic parts layout follows pretty much the same format as the previous Ultraman kits.

First off, the articulation and joint strength are solid, just like the previous releases. Thanks to all that volume, even a simple pose gives it a really dynamic feel. The torso core frame comes in two versions — one for action poses and one for LED installation — but rather than being a straightforward swap, you basically need to fully disassemble and reassemble the kit. Using the action frame unlocks a forward-bending motion in the upper body, pivoting at the front of the torso.

The weapon options are pretty generous. First up is the massive Ultra Axe, measuring 26.5cm long — it fits securely in the hand, so it holds poses really well. On top of that, you can swap out the forearm armor to equip either a sword or a rail gun, and swapping out the entire back armor lets you attach a cannon called the Mat Suit. A new clear stand with a thick, sturdy build is also included to support the large body. The one downside is that while four types of hands are provided, only two sets of hand back parts are included, so you'll have to swap them around depending on which hand you're using — a bit of an inconvenience.

All in all, this kit does a great job capturing the concept of a big, beefy Ultraman, and it delivers a satisfaction that's clearly a step above the previous releases. That said, the ¥6,500 price tag does feel a bit steep for what's essentially sub-¥3,000 worth of content. Still, the build quality is solid and the style is genuinely unique, so if you're into chunky, bulked-up designs, this is definitely one you won't want to miss. :-)
