The show was dark (much to my taste) with a very dramatic premise.
The sad defeat of Ultraseven at the start of the series, the appearance of our nolstagic Dan Moroboshi, who has now became the captain of MAC, is now crippled after the fight with the twin Gilas monsters.
And what's more, he also lost his henshin ability to became Ultraseven. Oh what a tragic fate for Dan Moroboshi!
As this is no sad enough, it is revealed that our hero of the show Gen Ohtori. is a refugee to earth from the planet L77, which is mercilessly destroyed by Magma Seijin.
Now begins the intertwining of fate between our 2 alien tragic warriors. And the plot develops from here.
Titled: A vow between men (男と男の誓い)
One of my most favourite medicom human action figure, Dan Moroboshi of MAC captain.
But alas a big disappointment from medicom. I was balancing the figure in his clutches on one arm for quite some time. And one day, I decided to move the figure in another pose. Then I notice the arm holding the clutches has dislocated from the shoulder! I am not sure if it is weight of the figure resting on the clutches that cause the problem. And the silver material on his mac armor became to disintegrate as i was holding it! I have no choice but to buy some silver sticker tag to cover up the disintegrated parts. Thought of buying another similar figure since this is my favourite character. But the thought of silver material disintegration prevented me from doing so.
Once bitten, twice shy.
My favourites episodes of Ultraman Leo is the first 2 episodes.
Above shows Ultraman Leo using his Ultra kick to break the tornado stunt performed by the red and black Gilas brothers.
All of them are from Yamanaya.
My favourite villian is of course the notorious Magma Seijin.
I like it so much that I collected 3 version of the character. The left one is from bullmark with the black cape, where he is shown flying down from the sky into the sea.
The middle one is also from bullmark, showing his 2 weapons. And the right is from yamanaya, with only a weapon in one arm.
My 2nd favourite twin episodes 38 and 39, featuring the cunning Barabou Seijin.
Above right shows the fake Astra holding the Ultra key. Figure is from Yamanaya
To the left is Barabou Seijin from Bullmark
Above are a set of Bullmark and Edai Grip MAC chogokin goodies.
