S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Geed Ultimate Final


When this figure was first announced, I wasn't initially planning to get it. Then, when it was first released, I watched a few Japanese YouTube reviews and it ended up looking very nice. I was able to get it from one of my sites at the still pre-order price. 






Geed Ultimate Final form resembles Ultraman X, at least in his body, with his mostly grey and silver color scheme, with red and yellow throughout. His head has a horn that sits atop of his head, as opposed to a crest that goes back like his other forms, with a long diamond crystal in the middle of his forehead. Also, his eyes are painted a slighter darker blue than his other versions that I own. His simple yet sleek design is appealing, and Figuarts did a great job with sculpt and paint. 




As for his accessories, he comes with an alternate color timer, his Giga Finalizer weapon, and 5 pairs of hands (fists, to hold the Finalizer, flat karate chop, relaxed and open). The Giga Finalizer weapon is really well done and the big selling point of this figure. It's colored in black, red, blue, yellow and silver, and resembles some odd type of guitar instrument. Tamashii Nations have always been good at meticulously crafting small accessories with very neat detail and paint apps, at least in their Figuarts line, and this accessory is a perfect example of that. As for the rest of the figure, you get the same high quality throughout the body.









With articulation, this is the other area where this figure really excels. Just like their Geed Magnificent from last year, and also similar to X, Ultimate Final has a great range of motion on the joints. Neck, upper torso and waist on ball joints, head on a peg, butterfly hinged shoulders, double jointed knees and elbows, leg joints that kick out far forward and to the sides, as well as upper thigh cut that has a good amount of range, and feet that tilt and rock, with toe hinge all add to a figure that can be put in some very expressive action poses, as you can see from the photos above. His upper waist and torso can really twist to the sides, and his arm and leg range are really fantastic. He's able to balance well on one foot, though that does take a bit of effort, but once you get him in the right stance, he's good to go. He is a lot of fun to pose.







Ultraman Geed Ultimate Final is the 4th version of Geed that Figuarts have released. His various forms are all different, each with unique accessories, so it makes getting the different ones worth it, instead of the same figure with a different color scheme, like Ultraman Zero, which currently has 5 different variants of the first form, and now 2 of the Zero Beyond sculpt.




S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Geed Ultimate Final form is worth getting, though now that it's out and most of the sites with pre-order prices are sold out, getting it in the aftermarket will be high (BBTS had it at $120, which is way too much). If you haven't gotten him and you're able to find him at a reasonable price, then by all means, get him, as he is great.

Ultraman Omega finale

Episode 25, the series finale of Ultraman Omega aired this Friday. From the very first episode I was hooked, and the series continued to maintain a high quality until the surprisingly emotional end. Sorato (Omega) regained all his memories, learning that he was one of many Space Gazers, who's job is to watch a planet and not interfere with any wars between the species (in Earth's case, humans and kaiju). A space Gazer's job is to observe, study and take notes, to learn from a planet's successes and mistakes, in the hopes of finding the right formula to achieve universal peace. Having returned to his previous role as simply a watcher, Kosei, Ayumu and Sayuki were forced to rely on themselves and their team to defeat the powerful kaiju Zomera. As he continued to watch the battle, Sorato/Omega found himself wrestling with the inactive role he was meant to do and his memories of the friendships he had forged with the others, as well as the examples of human kindness he had ...

S.H. Figuarts Father of Ultra

Last week I received the latest SHF Showa Ultra figure, the one and only Father of Ultra, who made his debut in the series Ultraman Ace. He’s the 1st of the two Ultra related August releases I had pre-ordered (the other being Ace Killer). Father of Ultra is easily recognized by the huge horns on his head. The rest of his body is the standard red and silver color scheme that the other original Ultra brothers have (different colors wouldn’t be introduced until Ultraman Tiga decades later). Bandai did a fine job in capturing his look, much more accurate than the highly stylized Ultra Act version, which made him quite muscular. For his accessories, he comes with 6 pairs of hands (fists, two sets of holding, 2 sets of flat/karate chop, and grappling). He has an extra right flat hand that shoots out his signature beam, called the Father Shot. What makes this different from other releases is that the beam and hand are 2 separate pieces, with a clear plastic peg on the side of the fingers that...

Help Me… I’m Possessed (1974) / #Missingcouple (2024)

I've watched some weird, obscure horror movies throughout my life. I can now add this lurid 1974 schlockfest to that growing list. In a castle in the desert, Dr. Arthur Blackwood runs a sanitarium filled with mentally disturbed patients (as well as staff). He claims to be working on finding a way to cure people of any violent tendencies they have, and brags about his younger sister, innocent, child-like Melanie, as evidence that his treatment works. When she was a child, their parents had to keep her locked up and chained in the basement, to control her violent fits. Now that he's cured her, Arthur has his wife Diane come to the castle to meet Melanie, so that they can be one big, happy family. Diane begins to grow suspicious that something is amiss after a Sheriff shows up investigating the murder of 2 local teens, and sets about on her own investigation, hoping to uncover the sinister secrets that she feels her husband is hiding. Help Me... I'm Possessed is an outrageous,...
