Whether the staff is ULTRA-ACT to reveal why has undergone a rapid evolution! ?

On July 27, 2012, the action figure brand ULTRA-ULTRA-ACT will finally release "Ultraman".

The ULTRA-ACT series,
"I have been recently something has changed?"
"What is happening is something in this series?"
I think we are not at least those who feel so?

What the hell that is changing this series?

In this special issue,

The culmination of the 1st evolution "Ultraman" released on July 27
2nd Behind the scenes of "evolution" as told by the staff

の2本立てでシリーズ進化の舞台裏を少し紹介しつつ、その集大成ともいえる７月発売「ウルトラマン」の魅力に迫ります。

"ULTRA-ACT Ultraman" will finally be released (in this corner, for convenience, it is called "12 year version Ultraman").
ウルトラマンは、2010年6月にULTRA-ACT第1弾として「ULTRA-ACT ウルトラマン」(旧版)が発売されており、今回の商品はそこから約2年ぶりの完全新規金型によるリメイクアイテム。

Incorporating the evolution of the ULTRA-ACT of the past everywhere, and finished with a figure that you can experience the evolution itself of the series.

Needless to say, this 12-year version of Ultraman is upgraded from the old version of the series ...

驚きなのは、近作「ゾフィー」からも関節を一新しているのです。
ゾフィーとウルトラマン、ほとんどシルエットの変わらない2人ですが、今回はあえてウルトラマンのアクションを再現する為だけに専用の関節を作り起こしています。

For differences, we will explain to the center point of the big 3.

Disassembled state of Zoffy and Ultraman.
At first glance joint that has been charged to the two bodies of the same form it is made of different specifications, respectively.

"誰もが知っている"ウルトラマンのファイティングポーズ。その独特な前傾姿勢を再現する為、胸・腰に専用の機構が投入されています。この機構によって旧版ウルトラマンはもちろんのこと、現在最新作のゾフィーよりも深く前傾姿勢を取ることができます。

■ chest hip joints "mirror Night" is based

Points appear when you bend your back, of two places inner parts. Even if bending the back by this part, you can keep the silhouette of a fighting pose without interrupting the line.

この機構、お気づきの方もいるかと思いますが、ACTシリーズ中随一の可動域を誇る「ミラーナイト(※)」の機構を取り入れています。ミラーナイトでは腰一カ所だったインナーパーツも、背中と腰 2ヶ所の使用にグレードアップされています。

Another movable feature that is important for reproducing Ultraman 's fighting pose is the "neck". While taking a forward leaning posture, the line of sight is always facing the front and the neck is movable.

この可動域を確保する為、首関節もこれまでと異なる機構を取り入れています。樋口真嗣氏× 原口智生氏の対談でも取り上げられたこの首関節。"上を向く可動"がピッタリ決まる気持ち良さをぜひ体感してみてください。

Of course, not upward only, also determines the pat-containing standing position minus the chin.

Ultraman 's Special Move "Specium Ray". This familiar pose that crosses both arms in a cross in front of the body.
It is very difficult to achieve both mobility and silhouette, and it has always been a problem with Ultraman action figures so far.

This time Ultraman is in contrast to Zoffy

(1) forward swing range expansion of the shoulder (2) Horizontal rotation angle enlargement (3) of the shoulder bending angle of the elbow expansion

Moveable arrange for Supeshiumu rays, such as has been decorated.

Other effects parts of "Supeshiumu ray", "Ultra slash effect", "Dash effect" is included.

Throw at the enemy is in the movie "Ultra slash". Reproduction of throwing pose is also of course possible, but the original pose of a weapon image has on hand also surprisingly brackets or good. Please try by all means try!

The dash effect produces various physical actions such as "run", "landing", "fumbarri", and "sliding" with the power of a giant hero.

It's an easy-to-use effect, so it may be used for other than Ultraman! ??

The separately sold "BROTHERS' MANTLE" can also be attached.

マントを装着することで一段とヒロイック度が上がります。ゾフィー、ウルトラマン、そして10月発売予定のウルトラマンエースと続くウルトラ兄弟の揃い踏みには欠かせないサブアイテムです。

With 6 brothers, Zoffy, Ultraman, and so on, the range of scenes that can be reproduced will expand.

アクションフィギュアでは、同シルエットのキャラクターでは関節を共用化しコストダウンを図るのがセオリーですが、ULTRA-ACTにおいては、あえて非効率な新規関節つくり起こしをわずかなスパンで行っていることが分かります。

One of the secrets of the evolution of ULTRA-ACT can be said to be the "insatiable challenge of moving the body."

Why stick body, on the movable up to this point? The reason is?

The next feature"2nd Behind the Scenes of "Evolution" Staff Tells"In, you approach to the reason on the basis of the testimony of the staff.
