Like it or no, Eleking is THE most iconic monster from a Ultraseven and on of THE most iconic in the whole franchise.Kaiju no Kami wrote:You know, I have never understood the hype for Eleking, honestly. I don't think he really did much in Seven to warrant the love people give him.
Personally, I'm hoping for Badu or Iron Rocks next. Not only did they do so much more (especially Badu), but they were both in outstanding episodes and Iron Rocks has some massive significance by being a living ship.

He just is. You might as well ask why Mothra and Ghidorah are so iconic for Godzilla.Kaiju no Kami wrote:Okay, why?LegendZilla wrote:Like it or no, Eleking is THE most iconic monster from a Ultraseven and on of THE most iconic in the whole franchise.

Ghidorah became inconic because it took three monsters to take him down. Mothra also became such because she was the underdog who took on Godzilla and won in larva form.
Eleking didn't accomplish anything and got his head chopped off.

Re: S.H. FiguArts Discussion
That might be a stretch. I'm a moderate Ultraman fan, at best, and I would consider Gomora or Baltan more "iconic", personally. I hardly even care about Eleking.LegendZilla wrote:THE most iconic in the whole franchise.

Re: S.H. FiguArts Discussion
I haven't seen a lot of Ultraman but if I were to guess why Eleking is iconic, it's his unique design and his usage in other series like Mega Monster Battle and that one where he's a chibi team pet (think it was Max?). I think everyone just wants Ultraseven's version because its the first one and seems like the most likely bet Tamashii would do.Kaiju no Kami wrote:There has to be something that made him that way though.LegendZilla wrote:He just is.

Re: S.H. FiguArts Discussion
Boba Fett from Star Wars being a feared bounty hunter didn’t accomplish anything other than stand there and look cool 99% of the time in Empire and then get his ass handed to him by a farm boy and a blind man in Jedi. Look how iconic he is regardless of that.Kaiju no Kami wrote:LegendZilla wrote:Kaiju no Kami wrote:

How is Boba Fett relevant?

Re: S.H. FiguArts Discussion
True, but then Star Wars fans are one of the most toxic fandoms out there, so I don't even bother trying to figure out why anyone would like a waste of space like Boba.LegendZilla wrote:Boba Fett from Star Wars being a feared bounty hunter didn’t accomplish anything other than stand there and look cool 99% of the time in Empire and then get his ass handed to him by a farm boy and a blind man in Jedi.

Jesus, how many versions of Red and Blue are there? The show just started not too long ago and it seems like there are already 6 figures announced.

Because it's so easy to pump them out. All they have to do is create four separate body moulds, change the black-and-white patterns between the brothers, plonk on the corresponding head and voila! Eight figures for minimum effort!Kaiju no Kami wrote:Jesus, how many versions of Red and Blue are there?

Speaking of Ultra Figuarts, I wish they would reveal a new 66 or 67 monster/alien already. From the way it looks right now, Antlar will be the final one for 2018.
