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.

Titanic Creations Yongary 1967

This figure was released in late December, and I got it about 2 days before the New Year, so I'm counting it as a 2025 release. It is the Titanic Creations version of the Korean kaiju Yongary, Monster From The Deep. The film was released in 1967 as a Godzilla ripoff, with several ideas copied from the Gamera series, such as his tusks, his ability to fire a stream of flames from his mouth, and even firing a laser beam from his horn, similar to the slicing one used by Gyaos. The film is pretty goofy, but Yongary, like most of those Asian monsters, was pretty cool (to me, at least), so I was psyched that someone finally made a figure of this lesser known kaiju. When Titanic Creations put it up for pre-order, they announced a series of tiers, where they would add accessories when a certain number of orders were met. Enough fans ordered him, so that Yongary ended up with a shit ton of stuff, making him absolutely worth the price. In addition to the kaiju, you get a flame breath effect, ...

S.H. MonsterArts Godzilla Evolved Version (2024)

Early last week, this figure was delivered. It is the Evolved Godzilla from the film Godzilla vs. Kong: The New Empire, from S.H. MonsterArts. I admit, I haven’t bothered to watch the movie. When I first saw the trailer (about a month after having watched Godzilla Minus One and still being on a high from it), the trailer for The New Empire dropped, and I thought it looked stupid as fuck, especially this bad CGI scene of Godzilla and Kong running towards the camera like superheroes. The rest of it looked like Planet of the Apes, so I chose to pass. However, I do think Godzilla’s new evolved look is pretty cool, so when S.H. MonsterArts announced his figure, I went ahead and preordered it. And now, Pinkzilla is finally here. Godzilla Evolved has a sleeker, leaner body, with a bigger head and pink dorsal spines. His tail ends in pink spikes, like an ankylosaurus. The figure turned out looking great, with the spines painted but also translucent, really standing out from the rest of his bod...

RICSAN Custom Toys The Unbelievable (Varan)

For the last few months, I had been seeing photos and YouTube reviews of custom Godzilla kaiju from someone known as RICSAN Customs. He’s a guy in Mexico who makes 3rd party customs of articulated figures that no other company is making. Due to licensing issues, he gives them different names, such as The Dream Ogre and The Infant (Gabara and Minilla), Monster from Odo Island (pre-mutated Godzilla Minus One), Sō Shingeki Serpent (Manda), etc. This one is called The Unbelievable, and is basically the Toho monster from the film Varan (aka Varan the Unbelievable from the English dub). His figures are made of resin and use thick string articulation instead of ball joints (similar to Meego figures). So they are articulated and posable, you just need to be aware that they’ll move differently from standard ball joint figures, so practice a bit more care when handling them. Ok, let’s get the one negative out of the way. He packs his figures in styrofoam, and since that stuff can be sticky, my V...
