malspace: Bandai Figurise Ultraman B Type: 12/28/18 - 1/3/19 My first Figurise kit, and kind of an impulse buy lmao (got a PO in for Seven, too). Figurise is 1/12 scale, so its the same size as 6-inch figures like Figuarts. Comparing it with my Ultra-Act x SH Figuarts, it looks like all of the Figurise kits will use the anime designs (some color and detail changes). Overall, it was fairly hassle-free. Bandai used undergates for many of the metallic silver parts, but you still end up needing to do touch-ups here and there. The glossy red looks pretty slick as a contrast and the stickers actually look good while sticking. Not quite Super Minipla sticky, but light years better than gunpla stickers. It looked kinda bland, so I decided to do a panel wash and it really makes the details pop. Accessories are pretty bare, but its not like Ultraman does much besides beat the snot out of kaiju and go pewpew with his Specium Ray. Articulation is excellent with the exception of lacking ankle tilts and an ab crunch, but the latter was a sacrifice for the lighting gimmick. The design does a good job of preventing light leakage except for one spot at the base of the neck, which I took care of with a bit of heat shrink tubing. His eyes also look dead when not lit up, so I covered them with a mirror finish film (Hasegawa Trytool series) that looks opaque but is translucent enough to let plenty of light through. -- source link
