Ultra Seven 40th Anniversary

DW-6900FS Ultra Seven x G-Shock x Kubrick Special Edition

Tsuburaya Production design the model themselves to every details; from the watch it self to the box that it comes with. They choose to base this collaboration on Casio G-Shock DW-6900 model; the most famous model at that time. Now too though. All was base on a matte red resin band and bezel to mimic the Ultra Seven suit and so the all the line pattern on the suit was also put on the band of the watch. Both on the lower band and the upper band. Then they also include the EL back light of this model to pop up Ultra seven famous silhouettes which we could see when he the man himself transform into the action hero. They partnered up with Casio Japan and produced this model to only 2000 units only and all of it was only released in Japan.

They didn't just end there, a collaboration with another Japan famous figures production company the Medicom Toy had also been made. From here, they produced an action figure of the hero himself; the Ultra Seven and his major opponent at that time; King Joe. Both figures comes from Medicom Toy mini action figures from the Kubrick series. Both of this figures came along with the watch on the same special made box.

Here I include some facts about Ultra Seven & King Joe

KING JOE :

Appearing first in the form of four ships, King Joe was sent by theAlien Pedan as their main weapon to conquer Earth. The four ships first appeared attacking and destroying a submarine as they alerted an SOS to the Ultra Garrison came. Before the Ultra Garrison arrived (along with a mysterious woman in tow, who would soon be revealed to be working for the Pedan Aliens) went onto the harbor, they were too late.The four ships then arrived at a U.N. Embassy, where they soon rejoined to reveal King Joe's true form. Even with hidden gun turrets beneath the embassy, nothing could damage King Joe. Ultraseven soon arrived to do battle with the robot, but King Joe's Pedantic Armor proved to be far more powerful than anticipated, with nothing Ultraseven could do stop him. Soon Ultraseven was pinned to the ground and received crippling palm slams by King Joe until Ultraseven fell seemingly unconscious. However as the robot's back was turned, the hero lunged forward and knocked King Joe down. Incapable of getting back up again, King Joe turned back into the four ships and fled with Ultraseven following it. It was then revealed that the reason for King Joe's attack on the Embassy was due to a scientist whom had found a chemical that is highly reactive with Pedantic Armor, which also explained why the Pedan Aliens have come to Earth as well. King Joe later returned, arriving in Tokyo Bay where it wrecked havoc on local oil tankers. The Ultra Garrison came to the scene, but after nothing seemed to phase him Dan turned into Ultraseven once again. Again King Joe proved his great strength despite Ultraseven's maneuverability. However once the Ultra Garrison loaded the special chemical into a missile launcher, it was fired at King Joe, short-circuiting the robot. King Joe fell in the harbor and self-destructed, its masters' ship arose out of his wreckage only to be destroyed by Seven's Wide Shot.

ULTRA SEVEN :

Ultraseven (ウルトラセブン Urutorasebun^?), sometimes spelled asUltra Seven or Ultra-7, or just Seven (When being referred to by other Ultras) is the third Ultra being to come to Planet Earth (first and only in the spin-offs). He came to our planet after being sent to map the Milky Way, but this planet caught his attention and arrived here, he took the appearance of a brave man and renamed himself as Dan Moroboshi. Ultraseven protected Earth for a long time, but in the end his power was weakening due to the numerous battles he had, he left Earth after his last battle without being able to say good-bye to his team members of the Ultra Garrison. However, at later times he returned to Earth to assist his other brothers-in-arms in catastrophic events, fighting against mighty aliens like Alien Hipporito, Alien Temperor, Yapool andGrozam. He later was revealed to have a son, named Ultraman Zero, who became one of the most skilled Ultras from the Land of Light.

This is how the man transform into Ultra Seven using his special device. The image that pops up at the mode back light.

Moving to the detail that they put on this box, it is pretty big. But all spaces had plenty of details that related to the action series and was printed on it. Such a special box.

On the left side of the box there are some information about King Joe's profile:

Height : 55m
Weight : 48,000t

On the right side

Height : 40m
Weight : 35,000t

Here are some fighting scene between this two character from the action series part one and part two:

When this model was first released, they only sell it at 19,950yen (tax included). However, the price of this model had skyrocket throughout the year due to the few production units. Now it is estimated to be 4 times higher than it's original retail price. Since, I didn't start collecting from that era, I had to buy mine at a price higher than that yet for me it is still worth the bucks!.

Like the usual, I made an unboxing video about this model as well, check down below:
