AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Figurine representing the character Ultraman, from the Japanese tokusatsu universe, identifiable by his distinctive helmet and heroic stance, with his right fist raised. The model shown is signed Bandai, with an aesthetic faithful to 1990s productions, in line with the "1996" mention found in the keywords.

The visible front side reveals a glossy finish with a dominant bright red and silver patterns marking the torso, arms, and legs. The suit features painted details, including a silver "V" motif on the chest, highlighted by golden touches and a central blue ornament typical of the Ultraman design. The eyes and forehead are also highlighted by white areas, accentuating the character's robotic appearance.

The face features a smooth helmet with a central point, the hero's signature, with clean lines and well-defined volumes. The arms are asymmetrical: the right arm is bent and the closed fist raised, while the left remains alongside the body, fist clenched. The legs are straight, giving the figurine a dynamic and stable look.

The visible surface does not show any apparent base or detachable accessories. No logo or inscription is legible on the front, but the quality of the paint and the style perfectly match Bandai's production from the indicated period. The overall look evokes a retro style typical of Japanese toys from the late 20th century.

The figurine, photographed from the front on a wooden stand, stands out against a nighttime landscape background, which highlights the brilliance of its finish and the contrast of its colors. No major chips or paint defects are visible on the front surface, with the exception of a slight dark spot on the left foot.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Shows a slight mark on the left foot; the overall paint remains vibrant and without major visible defects on the front.
