【Ultraman Series】Luxurious specifications to commemorate the 60th anniversary!S.H.Figuarts Alien Zarab 60th Anniversary Edition makes its debut!

Numerous unique aliens appear in the Ultraman series, but among them, Alien Zarab radiates a distinctive presence. Upon hearing that this famous character has been commercialized once again as “S.H.Figuarts Alien Zarab 60th Anniversary Edition,” many fans must have had their eyes caught instinctively. This item is not a mere reissue. It features specifications commemorating the special milestone of the Ultraman series' 60th anniversary, resulting in a finish that cannot be missed even by those who have loved the work for many years.

First, what deserves attention is its high degree of reproduction. This item, brought to life in 3D under the cooperation of Tsuburaya Productions' sculpting department LSS, carefully expresses the characteristics unique to Alien Zarab down to the fine details. Not to mention the sharply slanted eyes and star-shaped mouth, the unique silhouette where the head and torso are unified is also firmly reproduced. Its unique physique where the head looks large, appearing similar yet different to Jamila, is beautifully integrated as a 3D object, and its presence is outstanding just by displaying it on a shelf. Gazing at it as a figure naturally reminds one of the impression of Alien Zarab, who drifted a creepy atmosphere on the TV screen back then.

In this 60th Anniversary Edition, a special commitment can also be felt in the body color. It has been adjusted to a color tone images after the night combat scene in Ultraman Episode 18, “The Brother from Another Planet,” allowing you to experience the atmosphere from the show even within a normal bright exhibition environment. The point that directions recalling a single scene of the work are incorporated, rather than just reproducing the character, is extremely attractive. Since the expression appears to change depending on how the light hits it, it can be called a figure that makes you want to admire it from various angles.

One of the major charms of this product is the fulfilling optional parts. Because interchangeable ear parts capable of reproducing both the life-sized state that toyed with the Science Special Search Party in the show and the appearance shown during the giant battle against Ultraman are included, you can freely express impressive scenes within the work. Furthermore, one cannot help but be impressed by the point that even the portable electronic brain used by Alien Zarab during conversations with Earthlings is included. Such fine small props make fans happier, and it is a part that makes one feel, “They even reproduced it to this extent.” Not only displaying it on its own, but being able to enjoy the display while thinking about poses and situations is surely the true pleasure of this product.

It is not a mere background part, but an item that elevates the atmosphere of the work significantly the moment it is displayed. Furthermore, if combined with the separately sold “S.H.Figuarts (Shinkocchou Seihou) Ultraman 60th Anniversary Edition,” exhibitions imaged after the famous scenes from Episode 18 also become possible. The intensity and story element when lining up the figures together are exceptional, greatly heightening the sense of satisfaction as a collection.

Speaking of Alien Zarab, the episode where it transforms into Imitation Ultraman is famous after all. Despite being an imitation characteristic enough to make one think even looking at it now, “Can that really deceive anyone?” it left a massive impact within the story back then. That exquisite suspiciousness is the exact charm of Alien Zarab, and the reason it has continued to remain in the memories of fans for many years. In addition, although it has been arranged for each era, such as being drawn with a more toned physique in later works, its unique individuality has not been lost. Precisely for that reason, I feel this 60th anniversary commemorative edition is not a mere kaiju or alien figure, but a special item to enjoy right at your fingertips a character indispensable when talking about the history of the Ultraman series.

The “S.H.Figuarts Alien Zarab 60th Anniversary Edition” is a highly complete product that allows you to fully savor the charm of the character Alien Zarab through a sculpt that pursued reproduction from the show, a special color emphasizing the atmosphere, and abundant accessories. It has content that can be recommended not to mention for people who used to cheer for Ultraman in front of the TV long ago, but also for fans who became interested in the series in recent years. Alien Zarab with commemorative specifications realized precisely because of the special timing of the 60th anniversary. Why not thoroughly enjoy its unique charm where creepiness and charm coexist by all means?
