S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Fuma


To complete the Ultraman Taiga trio, Tamashii Nations released Ultraman Fuma. He’s the blue version of the 3 that the human host of the show could conjure using the Taiga Spark. Fuma is from planet O-50, where Orb, Rosso and Blu acquired their power.







Fuma is blue with shades of lighter blue, silver and black throughout his body, which stands out among the sea of red Ultras. He comes with 5 pairs of hands (fists, karate chop, open, relaxed and pointing), an extra hand with his Light Wave Shiruken weapon, and a red color timer. Like the other two, his Taiga spark is removable and attaches to pegs on the top of his right hands. His Shiruken is a translucent yellow with a swirling design around a circular center. It looks good for what it is; an additional shooting Shiruken would’ve been a nice addition, considering this was a web exclusive.







Fuma’s articulation includes head and neck on a ball joint, hinged ball jointed shoulders and thighs, ball jointed upper torso and waist, double jointed elbows & knees with extra elbow swivel, wrists on a peg, upper thigh swivel, and classic ankle rockers that have enough range to get his legs in some stretching poses that offer good foot support. There are slight butterfly joints in the shoulders, but his chest armor design can impede them from moving his arms forward too much, and the shoulder pads can impede his arms from lifting up to 90 degrees. Fuma is still quite poseable; with some creativity and imagination, you can articulate him fairly well.







Fuma will most likely be the final release from the Taiga series as we’ve already gotten Tregear. Though we may get another form of Taiga such as Photon-Earth. With Tamashii, you never know. Look at how many variants we’ve gotten of Zero and Orb. I’m still waiting for Rosso & Blu’s sister Grigio, which was teased some time ago with several others that have yet to drop. 






S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Fuma is worth getting if you like the character or you’re a completist. Otherwise, you can skip him as, despite being nice, he doesn’t come with anything really unique or essential.

    That is a nice looking trio of figures! My only familiarity with Ultraman was from the old Bandai toyline. I ended up buying a bunch of stuff on clearance at KB Toys back in the early-mid 1990s including Ultraman, a jet of some sort, and the city playset with the buildings you could knock down. These obviously look like far better quality products than what I had back in the day!

      I remember the city playset with knock down buildings. The Bandai toyline is still going to this day.

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, ...

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...

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,...
