Zetton, the ultimate weapon for celestial control that appeared in the climax of "Shin Ultraman," is now an astonishing figure from S.H.Figuarts!
This time, we would like to introduce the overwhelming sense of size and the elegance of this masterpiece.
Zetton from "Shin Ultraman" is a bold reworking of the space dinosaur that appeared in the original "Ultraman" (1966). Though the overall silhouette and coloring of Zetton have been retained, the figure has been reinterpreted from a completely different vector and has been sculpted as close as possible to its depiction in the film. Zetton’s impressive presence and overwhelming strength that left it undaunted by Ultraman’s fierce attacks may still be fresh in the memories of those who have seen the movie.
The most notable feature of this figure is its size. It is the largest of its generation of the S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Series, standing at approximately 340 mm in height!
Looking at this comparison image with the separately sold S.H.Figuarts Ultraman (Shin Ultraman), you can see how huge Zetton is. (The image is a comparison image of the products. It is different from the size ratio depicted in the movie.)
In addition to the size, we would like to highlight the level of detail modeled in pursuit of recreating Zetton's appearance from the film. The result is an an extremely complex and beautiful design composed of geometric shapes, reproduced down to the smallest detail.
Furthermore, by switching out the interchangeable parts and moving its limbs, transforms Zetton into the form that fires a prodigiously hot 1 terakelvin (1 trillion degrees) orb!
It also comes with an effect that simulates the formation of the red-hot sphere, making it possible to recreate the terrifying appearance it took while trying to annhilate mankind along with the entire solar system.
"If put your mind to it, you can do it. You can do anything. Just try."
As an option to liven up your reproductions of scenes from the film, a very small Ultraman figure modelled after the scene when he flies toward Zetton is included. Bring to life the gallant figure of Ultraman heading to face Zetton all on his own, unafraid of the seemingly hopeless disparity of power!
It also includes an effect to reproduce the huge Ultra Slash that Ultraman fired at Zetton, sized to match the separately sold S.H.Figuarts Ultraman (Shin Ultraman)! Also includes a display stand that can be adjusted for any orientation and two types of joints are included to display in either horizontal or vertical position. The Ultra Slash can be used to recreate a series of scenes from the creation of the attack all the way to when it's firing at its target!
That's all for this introduction.
This is a very satisfying item with an overwhelming sense of size, detailed modeling, and bonus parts. We hope you have the chance to experience this figure firsthand!
