My latest purchase is S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Zero. I wasn't initially planning to get this figure (I own an Ultra Action one), but since it comes with many accessories, I picked one up.
As far as articulation, this figure is an improvement over Zero Beyond. The elbows are double jointed, and the legs can move out more. And the color timer is better assembled so it actually stays in. The arms are a bit more stiff, especially the shoulders, so it's still not as fantastic as Ultraman X.
The colors and sculpt are the usual Tamashii Nations high quality. Zero is red and blue with silver. He also sports the chest and shoulder armor that his father (Ultraseven) does.
The accessories include 6 pairs of hands, including an extra one where he does his "peace" sign. He has an alternate head without eye sluggers, 2 eye sluggers that can fit in his hands, a larger Zero Twin Sword, an alternate forearm with a bracelet, and 2 eye sluggers that attach to his color timer for another finishing attack. He also comes with an alternate color timer.
Like I've said before, Tamashii really spoiled us with the fantastic articulation of X, so all the Ultra releases since then have somewhat paled. However, all accessories that Zero comes with makes him a worthy purchase. I approve.
