Suddenly, the collared dinosaur Jirass attacks the town!

...and then, Ultraman Omega rushes to the scene!

Hold back the rampaging Jirass...

A flash of the Reiwa era's Ultra Kasumi Slash!

...However, this time the Jirass is tough!

Will Omega be finished by the powerful tail attack?

...And at the next moment!

What is the true nature of the blue slash that knocked Jirass out with one blow...?

That's a Meteor Kaiju!!!

It's Rekinesssssss!!!

...So, hello everyone.
My name is Nino and I am in charge of Ultraman toy planning and development.

This week, the release is finally approaching on Saturday, July 19th.



I would like to review it!


This Rekines,
It has been developed to be in the lineage of "ally monster DX toys" that began with the "DX SC-3 / Special Airborne Armor Unit-3" that appeared in "Ultraman Z."

Looking back at this lineage, we can see that they have attempted a wide variety of concepts...
- "DX SC-3 / Special Airborne Armor Unit-3 with a combination transformation mechanism
・"DX Nurse Dessey" with dynamic transformation and camera play
- "DX Terra Phaser" with a light-up gimmick
- "DX Earth Garon" with enhanced action figure properties
It has a history of evolving while changing its approach.

So, what is the concept behind this "Meteor Kaiju Series"?
"Kaiju figures transform into NARIKIRI weapons!"


This is a first for the long-running Ultraman series.
The monster figure itself is a toy that can transform into a weapon, making it a very topical item.

Seeing is believing, so let's review this mode transformation and take a look at how to play with it.

<MODE1: Sleep mode>

The initial state of Rekines is this sleep mode.
Would it be easier to understand if I said that this is the "capsule" state of the capsule monster that appeared in "Ultraseven"?

As previously reported, Kousei, who controls Rekines, will summon Rekines by holding up this sleep mode.

In other words, this sleep mode can be thought of as "Kosei's NARIKIRI item."​
Therefore, we made it with a good, voluminous size so as not to ruin the image from the movie when you hold it in your hand!


↑It's impressive even when held in an adult's hand. It's almost the same size as in the movie!

The fun thing about this "DX Rekines" is that it's not only fun to transform, but also has a sound gimmick.
Even in sleep mode, you can still hear the sound by pressing the button on the back.


↑The color has changed, and pressing the red part will make a sound.

The audio gimmicks this time are roughly divided into
Mode A: Sleep mode and Kaiju mode combined
Mode B: Requinescaliber exclusive
It is divided into two stages:
To recreate the sleep mode, press and hold the Mode A button and the corresponding sound will be played.

Kousei's line, "I'm counting on you, Rekines!"
Sound effect of the sequence transforming from sleep mode to kaiju mode
It also produces great sounds, so I think you'll be able to enjoy the game in a very immersive way.

Now, let's transform it into Kaiju mode right away!
 

<MODE 2: Meteor Kaiju Mode>
Starting from sleep mode, pull out both legs...

The image above has the color changed. It transforms as if the legs are being pulled out from the covers that cover the thighs.

Similarly, extend both arms.

↑The colour of the image has also been changed.

Remove the tip of the sword from the back and attach it to the tail!


Finally, when you put your head forward...


The first Meteor Kaiju Rekines, with its impressive, ferocious form, is complete!


The sturdy triangular silhouette that runs through the lower body is powerful and cool!

In this state, you can play with it as a "Kaiju Figure" that reproduces the rekines of a giant monster,
It is also NARIKIRI TOYS that recreates the state of "being in Kousei's hands" after the sleep mode.

As shown in the trailer, this "figure-sized" version also appears in the film, so the resemblance of the toy is definitely that of the real thing!


This time, since it needs to transform into a weapon, and there are constraints on the transformation mechanism and quality assurance as a toy, we also put a lot of effort into making it look like a monster figure.

The horns and the tip of the sword of Rekines are made of clear PVC with pearlescent material in between, which gives them a mysterious translucent yet metallic appearance.


The surface of the body has a rough pattern (embossed design) all over it, which reduces the shine of the plastic.


We also paid special attention to the paint expression, using a "gradient-like paint" technique that deliberately blurs the transitions between colors to emphasize the organic feel.


In addition, the markings and engravings have been placed in as inconspicuous a position as possible, so even the soles of the feet, where engravings would normally be found, are faithfully reproduced.

This may be difficult to notice unless you look closely at the actual product, but the blue molding color also has subtle nuances that change depending on the material, increasing the amount of visual information.


Next, let's talk about sound play!

As mentioned earlier, the sounds for Sleep Mode and Kaiju Mode are designed to be played in a series within the same mode for ease of play.
Among them, the sounds that are played depending on the operation are categorized as follows:

Press the button briefly to play "sounds related to the monster Rekines itself, such as its cry or attack sound"
Press and hold the button ⇒ "Sound effects and sound elements reproduced in the movie, such as Kousei's lines and transformation sounds" will be played

A short press will play three different sounds of Rekines,
In addition to footsteps and dashing sounds,
The sound of a "Zashun!" body attack using the horns on its head,


Dynamic slashing sound of swinging the great sword on his tail


It also includes sound effects for Rekineskinesis, the telekinetic power that is synonymous with Rekines!


There are multiple variations on Kousei's lines, and I think it completely covers all the sequence sounds, so you can have a lot of fun with just this one item!

<MODE3: Caliber mode>
Finally, let's transform Rekines into "Rekinescalibur"!

Store the monster head...


Put your arms away and then rotate your legs from the base of your thighs to transform them!

The key point is to transform the white parts so that they form a pair to form a "V" shape, and to keep in mind that the red parts connect together.

Lift the grip and then just snap the tip of the sword into place...


The transformation sound will automatically play and the transformation into "Rekinescalibur" will be complete!

What do you think? This is the large sword that Rekines himself transformed into, Rekinescalibur!!

When you hear that it transforms from a monster figure, many people may think, "That sounds pretty small," but...
In fact, the transformation mechanism was designed based on the size of the sword, so it has been sculpted to be quite voluminous, with a total length of approximately 36 cm!


In the process of developing this Caliber Mode, we focused on making the transformation seamless.
The built-in sound mode also automatically switches when you transform from Kaiju mode to Calibur mode!
(The DX Earth Garon was well-received for its automatic mode switching function when the Mod.2 unit was installed, so we decided to continue this feature.)

Press the button in Caliber mode
A short press will play two different slashing sounds, and a long press will allow you to perform a charged special move.

This charge move, which changes depending on how long you hold down the button, can branch out into three different patterns.
If you release the button before the charging sound finishes, two different special moves will be activated alternately.
If you let the charging sound play to its end before releasing the button, your ultimate special move will be unleashed.

In fact, just this weapon gimmick is packed with a volume of fun that is comparable to past DX NARIKIRI weapons, so
Considering that it includes the Kaiju mode transformation, sound gimmicks, and even Kousei's lines,
The play value is quite high...!? I think so!!


What did you think.


Meteor Kaiju is an element that can be said to be unique to "Ultraman Omega," so we put a lot of effort into each of the three modes to ensure that it is a toy that you can enjoy to the fullest!

DX Rekines is scheduled to be released in two forms as a product.

In addition to the single version of "Meteor Kaiju Series 01 DX Rekines",
The "Meteor Kaiju Series 01 & 02 DX Rekines & Trigallon Set", which includes Trigallon, will also be released on Saturday, July 19th!

In the set version of "Meteor Kaiju Series 01 & 02 DX Rekines & Trigallon Set",
This is a must-have for fans, as you can get the DX Tri-Gallon up to four weeks earlier.


There are fewer of these available than the single version, so if you're interested, be sure to get yours soon.

With the arrival of Rekines, the story of Omega accelerates!

- A size that can be easily combined with action figures
- It can also be played as a monster figure with sound.
- You can transform it into a weapon and play as a hero.
I think that all three of the Rekines toys are "super fun!"
I hope you'll watch episode 3 and Ursama's stage and get your hands on it!!

So, that's it for today's update.
Until the end Thank you for reading!!
