This kit is the Ultraman [B Type] Action released as a Figure-rise Standard. With previous Ultraman kits, the LED unit inside the torso made it difficult to move the waist. The Action version removes the LED unit and adds a multi-joint waist for improved articulation. On top of that, the gloss injection and plated parts have also been dropped, bringing the price down to ¥3,000 — cheaper than the original's ¥4,800.

As you can see in the comparison shots with the original version, the added waist joint lets it bend forward, backward, and sideways quite well. But when you actually try posing it, the waist rotation ends up being even more useful for posing than the bending range itself. The foot armor structure above the ankle has also been revised, giving the ankle a wider forward bend angle too. Everything else — accessories, articulation characteristics — is the same as before, with decent limb bend angles and solid joint strength.

Losing the plated parts and gloss injection from the original does make it look a little less visually impressive, but for anyone who felt the articulation was lacking, this is a pretty meaningful variation. :-)
