S.H.FIGUARTS - Ultraman - Suit Jack The Animation - 65142-6

While all the suits in the ULTRAMAN manga/anime have diverged from the source material quite a bit, one of the biggest jumps of them all is definitely how Ultraman Suit Jack looks. Rather than just another Ultraman with slightly different patterning, the Jack Suit is a much larger and bulkier suit to match its user's muscular body. If the standard Ultraman suit was equivalent to Iron Man, then the Jack Suit would be the Hulkbuster. It's a great design that didn't get to shine nearly enough in the anime adaptation of the series, so it's great to see that at least Bandai are treating it right here. As with the previous entries in the ULTRAMAN anime range it uses more vibrant red and shinier silver than the original manga-derived S.H. Figuarts x Ultra-Act releases, which only saw the release of Ultraman, Seven, Ace and Bemular. Despite being slightly bigger than your average S.H. Figuarts release Jack surprisingly isn't that much heavier, but still feels like a really solid release. The colouring and moulding on the figure are really sharp, with etched metal plate detailing across the body and of course that iconic Ultraman suit head sculpt. There's even some cool detailing that could easily go unnoticed, like a silver painted spinal robotic spinal column just behind the head. Overall it's a great looking figure, with easily the most shelf-presence of this range so far.
