^ The nature of the pull, perhaps? These are all from a recent auction, so I'd imagine that the pics are similarly new as well.
Texture certainly does seem to match Zarab very well. I would be happy to get my hands on the previous Buta Zarab, nevermind a new potential size/sculpt....
And there it is. Ill never care about new posts in this thread as much again! That is once the first release images are posted.
Hmmm peeping the blog looks like Mirroman himself could be upcoming! That's what I got from looking at the blurred image. So Zazahn AND Mirroman?- yes and YES!
Hmm, I am not so sure. It is just my impression mind you, but I think that maybe the glorious Creator has avoided entering territory of other tokusatsu heroes intentionally out of licensing issues. I think he must have approval for the general Tsubu creations of the Ultraverse, and considering the limits of the other heros (e.g. from a vacuum commercial, a little know manga, a 'bootleg' movie, etc.) I think I could see it being another similar variant, not that there aren't ample opportunities, such as Spectreman, he could go with. Hard to say for certain with the distortion, but he seems to have a different bend that the normal hero arm, as well as the straight fisted hand action. Could be a few possibilities, but a new 'evil' 'Sebben would be interesting I am thinking. Personal wish though of things I would yet like to see - which I don't think the preview matches - a SP member! That would be superb, especially with how wonderfully he has been handling the 'humans' in micro form in recent releases.
Well here are the google translated words of the post: Hero was under construction There is a connection from copyright-like I seem to be carried forward somehow. So who knows? Maybe now that he is more well know and established licensing isn't as much an issue? Pure speculating of course but that's what makes this hobby fun. I for one hope I'm right.
I would welcome any new flight of fancy from Our Man Buta, I just think that an Ultra-themed hero tease after a Zazahn reveal screams Jack. I like Steve's suggestion of an evil Sebben, too, and don't forget that Jumborg Ace himself is also a top-fin kinda guy! Personally, I think the monstas from Taro and Leo would love to finally get a humanoid to beat up on! When is Fireman gonna show up to save the day? edit: Another something fun to chew on... I see TWO sets of potential good guy legs there in last month's tease!
Instead of a top fin, it could also be a point: Maybe that same copyright issue explains the delay on that Toho micro set...
BAH! Begone with your insidious Toho propaganda! TSUBU FOR LIFE!!! Seriously, though: a Megalon, Gigan and MegaroGoji by Buta? The heart races!
Well if we are going to throw out suggestions for other characters, I have been thinking for some time that Iron King actually seems like the kind of smaller license, and perfectly suited character to Oohashi's aesthetic treatment, though the head doesn't seem right to be him this time around. Heck, that vintage bootleg figure is practically a Buta one already.
