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.

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...
