Toybox REVIEW: S.H. Figuarts Ultrawoman Grigio
RRP: 7150 yen
When a new S.H. Figuarts figure makes its debut at a Tamashii Nation event, it can be a long and painful wait until it finally makes it to release – and those are the lucky ones. Having originally made her debut all the way back in 2019, it's taken a whole three years for S.H. Figuarts Ultrawoman Grigio to become a reality and it's fair to say New Generation Ultraman fans couldn't be more excited. Asahi Minato, the third and youngest sibling of Ultraman R/B, comes as a Tamashii web exclusive and it’s the first female Ultra to be released in the S.H. Figuarts range. Coming hot on the heels of S.H. Figuarts Carmeara, it's been a good couple of months for Ultra Series women.
As you would expect S.H. Figuarts Ultrawoman Grigio comes packaged in a windowless box like most other Tamashii web exclusive releases, featuring the same art design as the other New Generation Ultraman releases and sporting a rather fitting orange, black and silver colour scheme. The front of the box features a nice big image of the character as she appears onscreen alongside the figure itself, while the back displays a number of images showing the figure off in various poses. Curiously despite the release including an accessory for another figure (more on that further down) there isn't any sign of it on the box, which doesn't usually tend to be the case when there' some cross-promotion to be done. Anyway, inside the box both the figure and accessories are neatly stored on a moulded plastic tray.
Despite having a much dainty build than the male Ultras, Ultrawoman Grigio proves to be just as impressive when it comes to articulation – and in some areas might even exceed her peers. Altogether she features;
- Peg joint head
- Ball jointed neck, torso, waist and wrists
- Swivel hinge shoulders and ankles
- Butterfly joint shoulders
- Drop-down swivel hinge hips
- Double hinged elbows and knees
- Single hinge toe sections
- Thigh swivels
On paper this isn't really anything more than any of the other Ultraman figures have, but there's just something about Grigio's body type that seems to make everything work that much more smoothly. The butterfly shoulder joints have superb range, allowing the Grigio to properly cross her arms with ease. The drop-down style hips add that little bit more range to what's an already great area of movement, but without breaking the seamlessness of the sculpt. Even the elbows seem to have a much tighter bend than usual, perfect for bringing her arms up to her face for all those cute signature poses.
