In my previous post, i did mention that i'm not going to buy any of JLB issues anymore because i'm too shocked with their Dragonball series. however, I'm going to make an exception this time. I found ultraman character in lego form!!!!! OMG!!! Soooo cooooolll!!! I'm huge fan of Ultraman, i can still remember how furious my dad was when i overwrite his vhs tape to record my ultraman series. =p
Same like previous issue of One Piece, Naruto, and Dragon Ball, this issue of Ultraman also come in set of 6.
I love how they design the graphic printed at the back of each box. please click the picture to view bigger image. Look on the right side of each box, they put some fact about each of the character.
Brief instruction on how to assemble the figure.
Cool graphic of lego ultraman
Actual image of ultraman -non lego form
What's included in each box - trading card and lego parts in sealed packaging

| wow, lucky me. i got 2 ultraman ace head in one box =p |
I only interested with the minifgures. each figure come with weapon/accessories. but it's just ridiculous.. why ultraman need weapon when they can just cross their hand to fire the opponent, right..
Update:
Mr. Mark and Mr. anonymous reader point out in comment below that Ultraman Ace's (most left) fin on the head should be pointing forward not backward. Since it's pointing backward, he should be Ultraman Mebius or Ultraman Ginga. In my opinion, he's hybrids! Refer pic below. lol
When I heard about china brand going to issue lego ultraman, i assumed they will imitate megablock. I myself not very sure how many set megablock produced for Ultraman theme but when i google "megablock ultraman", these results appear:
From images above, clearly the torso and leg is different than megablock. I'm not very sure about the head because i don't have megablock ultraman to compare side by side =(. It's retired set and cheapest that i can found on amazon right now is around USD100 without postage O_o
Priced less than a dollar (each), I'm 300% satisfied with the figure. Heck, if each box only contain the head, I'm already more than satisfied. Amazingly, quality of all these Ultraman head is superb and acceptable. As you can see from photos above, most of the head has horn/fin (pointy). Since the head is made from plastic, it's kinda sharp so please alert when allowing kids to play with these.

The torso and leg is bonus to me. since it's from JLB, i don't expect much. Same like previous issue of Dragon ball, Naruto and One Piece, the material (plastic) used by JLB to make the lego body and lego accessories look cheap and feel cheap. but again, the head is superb. so i really don't mind the body =p.
Again, i would like to highlight these: Please don't expect too much on the quality of torso and leg assembly. The hand and leg joint is worst as usual - so for playability rating, it's probably 2 out of 10. But for pose and photography it's 8 out of 10 (well, since lego don't have ultraman for now (or never)).
My version of ultraman have blue head underneath each mask. I saw Digger318 review and he has these ultraman with red head. So i guess mine is different batch than his. but nothing major, everything else look the same.
One thing that i agree with him - Ultraman Gaia (2nd guy from right) face look squashed. In this photo below, he's in the middle (4th guy from right) but he has average height and face size with other character. =p. I wonder why he appear squashed in lego form. lol

With the release of Lego ultraman by JLB, i notice a pattern with their previous selection of theme (DragonBall, One Piece, and Naruto). All these 4 are from Anime, Japanese Character. If so, I really hope JLB will consider producing kamen rider AND power rangers figure. please please please.. if any of you guys from JLB read this, please make it happen. Please?
