Alphamax
Alphamax appears here with tokusatsu heroes rather than the PVC scale figures the maker is better known for. Space Sheriff Gavan comes with an LED Laser Blade, standard Laser Blade and magnetic display base. Ultraman Gaia V1 and Ultraman Agul V1 are the Overseas versions at 16.5 cm, each with a generous accessory count. UK delivery is free.
Collector's Guide
Product Lines
Alphamax has been producing licensed figures in Japan since 2006, including PVC scale figures and articulated releases. The releases at Zero Variant come from the articulated side of that catalogue, where the subject is a live-action hero and the engineering goes into joints and effect parts.
- Space Sheriff Gavan: the Combat Suit as it appears in the 1982 Toei series, with an LED Laser Blade, standard Laser Blade and magnetic display base for secure poses.
- Ultraman Gaia V1 and Ultraman Agul V1: the two leads of Ultraman Gaia at 16.5 cm in their Overseas versions, packed with interchangeable hands and beam effects.
Why Collectors Rate Them
Tokusatsu suits are hard to translate into an articulated figure. The silhouette is a human body inside a moulded costume, so joints have to disappear into panel lines instead of interrupting them while the paint has to read as a suit rather than as plastic. Alphamax comes at that problem from a scale figure background, which shows in how the sculpts hold their proportions once posed. The lighting and beam accessories matter too, since a Laser Blade or a Photon Edge is half of what makes these characters recognisable. A figure without them is only ever standing still.
