Hello YouTube! This is Goji73 coming at to you with my 1st ever toy review!
Now this was requested for "Gojira2012"
and here he is! A very rare figure might I add!
The monster is...
Jiras, from Ultraman!
Now to start off everything first, his history...
Um, Jiras was a monster
that was created by this Evil Scientist
in japan
who was in love with Monsters.
and then one day he finally unleashed him upon the Science Patrol once they figured him out and he unleashed Jiras to uh... take care of them.
But then Hayata transformed into Ultraman and ultimately the two monsters ended up fight, with--
Ultraman winning by...
*fumbles*
The way how he defeated Jiras was really confused, because they say he blew him in the gut or something like that but--
When I watched the episode it just looked like a big flash of light, but anyways...
This ultimately killed Jiras and out of a sign of respect he's never shown any monster
or any of the other subsequent Ultraman for that matter
About half-way through the fight, he ripped off Jiras's frill (this thing...)
and he um...
placed it right back on his
neck after he killed Jiras and
offered the monster a moment of silence before flying away but
it was really brief but noticable, but yeah.
Aside from that, Jiras never appeared again obviously for...
This reason right here.
As most of you are already aware, Jiras is
pretty much
a big repaint of the Godzilla costume just with a frill
(and that is all you need to know...)
Apparently Jiras
(made a return?)
in the anime, Ultraman SD series (which is extremely hard to find.)
but other than that, that's pretty much all you're going to find Jiras any place else...
Now as far as detail-wise, this one's um... so-so because he has the little ridges like Godzilla, here and there
all over his body.
I don't remember him being this green exactly. I mean yes there were definitely highlights on his belly and head
and the frill
but I don't remember Jiras being this overly green.
He was at least
more-so Godzilla's color with just the yellow highlights.
but, so, the design is pretty much "meh."
As far as Articulation goes now...
I really don't wanna aggitate this since this is a very rare figure but, the articulation is pretty um...
basic, the arms can supposedly rotate
360 degrees, but the frill gets in the way so they really can't.
and the uh...
legs also rota-- well...
I don't think they can rotate because of the
hands being blocked by the frill.
Uh, I think the head is a glue seal so I'm not going to bother that, and the tail is detactable. It was detacted when I ordered it on eBay.
but I'm not going to pop it off because again this figure is incre-- extremely rare.
Like *fumbles* if you find it on eBay, you'll probably ending up buying it as cheap as 70 dollars.
I got this guy for like a bargain for like 45 dollars on eBay and that was like
a *** steal, I swear. But anyways yeah, he is extremely rare
and um...
Detail is pretty...
"meh." Not as accurate as the original.
So yeah, the history is
pretty brief
Now for size-comparissons...
Lets compare him with Ultraman.
and um...
I say this is pretty close to accurate, I think Jiras is a bit higher,
like this high I think.
but yeah, my Ultraman tends to be leaning quite a bit, he usually falls over so yeah.
And just for the heck of it lets pair with Godzilla
(my favorite Godzilla)
Yeah, again I think Jiras is suppose to be a little bigger.
He's roughly about the same size as Godzilla I think.
But yeah, as you can see the highlights, Godzilla is a lot more darkish, blackish-grey.
This is suppose to be Jiras's color almost only lighter
because it was an earlier costume
But yeah, this is just about all for the monser.
And I'm getting a lot of questions both on Atari and YouTube, about am I ever going to use this guy for my series "Godzilla and his Amazing Friends."
I would really love to use this figure, I mean
Jiras is pretty much my favorite
Ultra Monster, obviously because he is just Godzilla...
but yeah, I would love to... I would love to use him in this series, I haven't thought of an idea for him yet...
But I really hope on using him for the series
as an enemy or a friend, I really don't know.
But yeah, that's just about all. I'm going to go back to making more episodes.
Hope you enjoyed this review!
