S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Trigger Multi-type


Tamashii Nations continues their tradition of rushing out a new generation Ultra that’s a bare bones release. This is the multi-type version of Ultraman Trigger, from the current series. I’ll admit that the new show is weak, but at least the figure was not pricey.








Ultraman Trigger comes with 5 pairs of hands (fists, 2 karate chop and 2 open) and an alternate color timer. No beams or other accessories. Just like they released the Alpha Edge version of Z with very little, I’m sure they’ll save the beams and accessories for future releases. Still, for the low price, the figure is of good quality. He’s nicely painted with his detailed chest, forearm and leg armor in gold, with red and purple stripes throughout the body. His forehead crystal is translucent blue, while his eyes are translucent clear with white underneath. He’s sculpted in PVC, like most of the rest of their line. This is the material they should’ve done Tiga in, instead of the soft plastic with easily peeling paint he came in. 







His articulation is very good, sporting all the regular joints of most of the new Generation releases, with excellent butterfly joints on the shoulders that can bend far forward, and swivels at the elbows, allowing for maximum arm pose-ability. A good variety of action, fighting, sitting and running poses can be achieved. 








Though he does not come with any beams, if you own Ultraman Z Original, then the beam with that figure can easily fit onto Trigger’s wrist. That’s one good thing about owning multiple Ultras from Figuarts; easily interchangeable effect pieces. I won’t be getting any other versions of Trigger that Tamashii Nations will most likely release down the line, so they can take their future over-priced Premium Web Exclusives that most assuredly will include a beam and shove them up their…..smile, smile! Haha!








S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Trigger multi-type is a surprisingly solid figure despite not coming with much. Considering how popular Ultraman Z was, they really should have given the Alpha Edge release this much attention, especially in terms of articulation. I’ve been forcing myself to keep watching the new show, but at least the figure is worthy.

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,...

RicSan Custom Toys Kyōrū Kaiju (Titanosaurus)

My latest kaiju figure purchase is the Titanosaurus made by Ricsan Custom Toys. I own and love the Varan & Gabara, so of course I had to preorder this one when it was available. He was delivered earlier this week. This kaiju hails from the last Godzilla film of the Showa era, 1975's Terror of Mechagodzilla. The Black Hole aliens are back, rebuilding their robot in another effort to take over the planet. They enlist the help of an ostracized Earth scientist named Mafune and his daughter Katsura, who are able to control an aquatic dinosaur named Titanosaurus. They plan to use both kaiju and mecha to attack Japan. Titano was a cool monster, with his tail that opened into a fish fin, and he would use it to create whirlpools in the sea, and high winds on land. I'm hoping that S.H. Monsterarts makes one for the 50th anniversary of the film, but when I saw this Ricsan Custom version, I couldn't pass it up. Titanosaurus (called the Kyōrū Kaiju), comes in a white box, with its n...

S.H. MonsterArts Anguirus 1972

One of my most anticipated figure releases of 2025 was finally delivered this last week. Godzilla's trusty sidekick, S. H. MonsterArts Anguirus (based on the 1972 suit). From the early video and photo reviews I had seen, he looked to have turned out a great figure. Now that I have him in hand, he absolutely is! This Ankylosaurus is based on the suit that was introduced in 1968's Destroy All Monsters, and made subsequent appearances in Godzilla vs. Gigan (72), Godzilla vs. Megalon (73), and Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (74). Anguirus was the 2nd Toho monster to ever appear on screen, dueling with the big G in 1955's Godzilla Raids Again. For the later films, he became Godzilla's buddy, helping him out in his various battles. I'm a bit surprised that it took Bandai this long to release Anguirus in the MonsterArts line, as he's one of the more popular kaiju, but better late than never. He's painted in a chocolate brown, with pale yellow on his various spikes, hor...
