Red King (Spark Doll DX Ultlive Tyrant Set)

Red King is a kaiju who first appeared battling the original Ultraman. He is like a skeletal Godzilla.

I find Red King's moniker very bewildering because he is in no way red. Like anywhere. But wharves, he's still got a cool design. Fans of the excellent comic Kaijumax will also recognize Red King as a monster swear word used by the inmates of that maximum security Kaiju prison. If you like giant monsters or prison movies/tv shows you should go read Kaijumax RIGHT NOW! But it's totes not for kids.

Anyway back to Red King: this sofubi has pretty typical articulation, just the arms and the tail. The sculpting is pretty impressive for something so small but I've found that with most soft vinyl toys from Japan. This guy came in a box set based on villains who fought Ultraman Ginga during his first series.






Cute pig nose atop a mouth full of fangs.


Bit of a cone-head.


Metallic teal belly plates.

Red King knows self-care is important but I'll bet it's hard to for him to book his pedicures.











A good tail for THWOMP-ing.




"Take that Ultraman X!"

"Oh, now Ultraman Orb Burnmite Form wants some!"

"TOH!"

"RARRH!"


Getting jiggy with it.
