The second Ultra female to be released from Tamashii Nations' S.H. Figuarts line is Ultrawoman Grigio, the little sister of Rosso & Blu. She had been teased... I want to say over a year ago? But then months went by and no release announcement, until earlier this year. She finally dropped this month, so here she is, in all her happy glory.
Being that she is a kid sister, she is a bit shorter than other Ultra figures. I really like her color scheme of silver and orange, the latter hue being one that we don't see too often in Ultras. Her paint and sculpt are fantastic, and she comes with 8 pairs of hands, including fists, pointing, "happy" hands which resemble a peace/hang loose sign, a wide variety of open and flat palms, etc. She also comes with alternate color timer, her Grigio shot beam, which is a translucent orange that gets darker towards the end, and an alternate hand for Ultraman Zero, so that he and she could high five each other. Tamashii Nations did her right with all these extras.
Grigio carries the same high quality articulation that most of the newer generation Ultras have, including double jointed, swivel hinge elbows, swivel hinge shoulders, hips and ankles, slight butterfly joint in the shoulders, upper thigh cut with double jointed knees, and ball jointed head, neck, upper torso, waist and wrists. She can't lift her arms to a T due to the shoulder pads that impede it, but everything else is great. Like Carmeara, Grigio can kick high and wide and is able to achieve many expressive action poses. She is quite a fun figure to articulate.
Just like Carmeara, Ultrawoman Grigio is another high quality release from the S.H. Figuarts line. I'm happy to see another female Ultra, and hopefully the trend continues and we get more in the future (though Ultra Mother, Yullian and Cameara were released in the larger, discontinued Ultra Act line). And of course, I would LOVE to see more kaiju. As for Grigio, she's another Tamashii home run.
