Fans of Ultraseven and lovers of Showa-era tokusatsu, thank you for waiting! The Pedan alien’s trump card, “King Joe,” now appears in a renewed version in the Real Master Collection by Shonen Ric! This isn’t just a simple reissue—it's a fully upgraded statue. No collector should miss out on this one.

The first thing to notice is the intricate detail. Thanks to the use of poly material, the edges of the sculpt are sharply defined, and the moment you pick it up, you’ll realize: “This is no ordinary figure.” The coldness of machinery, the inorganic presence, and the sleek, efficient lines— This delicate portrayal of King Joe’s character is nothing short of masterful.

The highlight of this renewal is undoubtedly the newly added light-up feature! With the dedicated base, the forehead lights up in relay, and the chest light flickers. These two light effects alone create a sense of realism as if a battle scene from the show is unfolding right before you. The ease of use with a USB Type-C connection is another high point.

What’s more, the included metal nameplate adds a touch of sophistication. With the character name engraved, the plate gives off a luxurious feel reminiscent of a museum exhibit. Displaying it on a shelf instantly enhances its presence as a true “piece of art.” Gazing at it and talking about it—that too is one of life’s small luxuries.

King Joe is known for overpowering Ultraseven and leaving a strong impression on viewers. Its bizarre separation and recombination, the silent, looming metal giant—all are captured so realistically in this sculpt that it borders on art. While based on the original model released in 2012, the use of lighting and presence updates this figure to be unmistakably “King Joe of today.”

The monsters we watched wide-eyed in front of the TV as children— Among them, King Joe stood out with a unique blend of strength and eeriness. This figure vividly brings back those memories. It’s not just for display, but for conversation and emotion—this is a figure for grown-up fans.
