Feature Shows Extravaganza

Mom, buy me this!

What should I buy? I bought one for you last time, and I have to buy it again just a few days ago. Do you think I am a money printing machine?

It's different!

The one before was Dyna, this one is Gaia!

What's the difference? Aren't they all Ultraman! The mother grabbed her son's little hand and said as she walked, Be obedient! The final is coming soon. If you get a hundred points in the test, I will buy it for you!

I don't, I don't, I want it!

The son was crying, shaking his mother's hand and yelling: Liangliang has Gaia, I want it too, I want it too!

You kid...

Looking at her crying son, the mother neither spanked nor scolded her. Feeling the looks from the people around her, she could only sigh.

Okay, okay, I'll buy it for you!

Dragging her son into the splendid PD House on the street, her mother said to the clerk: How much does your new Ultraman cost?

Ma'am, do you mean Gaia?

When a customer comes to the door, the clerk warmly welcomes him: We have more than ten new Gaia products in our store. Which one do you want to buy?

A dozen kinds?

so much?

Mom was curious: Take me to see it!

Okay ma'am, please follow me.

The clerk led the mother and son to a nearby booth, picked up a Sapphire Cone and said, This is Ultraman Gaia's transformation device [Sapphire Cone]. It comes with a variety of sound effects and lighting effects, and is powered by batteries. …”

how much is this?

This is a new style!

After emphasizing the new style, the clerk said eloquently: The official guide price is 98 yuan. We are holding an event in the store and can give you a discount of 30 yuan!

So that’s 68?

Mom shook her head and said, It's too expensive! Do you have any action figures? It's that Ultraman plastic figure...

Yes, yes!

The clerk took a SHF Gaia movable doll from the side, broke its joints a few times and said, This is the new SHF Gaia movable doll. It has a beautiful shape and is movable all over. It is priced at 398 yuan for a limited time!

If you buy the SHF Gaia + SHM Gob set, you can save 50 yuan and get it for 749 yuan!

Why is it so expensive!

My mother frowned and said, Aren't you trying to trick people! The last time I came to your store to buy a Dyna, it only cost a few dozen yuan!

Ma'am, this is the SHF series!

The clerk explained: The prices of the SHF Ultraman and SHM Monster series have always been this high. The Dyna you are talking about should be the ordinary model!

Yes, yes, regular model!

Mom nodded and said, Give me a regular one!

OK!

The clerk took out an unopened copy of the V1 regular version of Gaia and as soon as he handed it to the mother, the child next to him shouted: Mom, this is not it!

Why not?

Mom held the box and looked at it: Isn't it written on it, Ultraman Gaia!

That's not it!

The son blushed, pointed to the Gaia pattern on the packaging box and said, The chest, the chest is black!

Mom looked at the clerk curiously.

The clerk nodded and said: Kid, you are talking about the V2 version of Gaia! The V2 version only has SHF, which is the one just now!

The one just now?

When my mother heard this, she immediately thought of the high price, shook her head and said, Forget it, wrap this up for me, and we'll buy this.

No, I don't want this!

The son was noisy and fussy, which made the mother look very ugly. If she hadn't been too embarrassed to take action in front of outsiders, she would have beaten this bastard up long ago.

As a last resort, my mother had no choice but to ask: What, Gaia with the black chest, is there no ordinary version?

No!

The clerk shook his head and said: Gaia V1 only has the regular model, V2 only has the SHF basic model, and the Supreme only has the SHF collector's edition!

If you want to buy V2, I suggest you add 200 yuan and buy the SHF Collector's Edition Supreme Gaia in one step!

Mother:……

As if he didn't notice the mother's sudden darkening expression, the clerk said to himself: In the past few days, many parents who brought their children to the store bought Supreme Gaia after considering it.

The SHF Collector's Edition of Supreme Gaia is also the best-selling new product in our store...Hey, madam, don't leave!

This deal is ruined!

Let’s not talk about what kind of beating this kid will get when he gets home. Let’s just say that the method of using Gaia’s three forms to correspond to three products is indeed relatively bad.

Form upgrade corresponds to consumption upgrade!

How much you spend not only determines how much happiness you will get, but also determines your status within the class.

Children who buy the regular V1 model cannot hold their heads up in front of the V2 model. Children who bought the V2 model cannot hold their heads up in front of the Supreme Gaia...

Then here comes the problem!

If I buy the SHF Collector's Edition of Supreme Gaia, will I be able to be at the top of the chain of contempt and look down on all the boys in the class?

The answer is, no!

On top of the Supreme Gaia, there is also a special limited edition Crystal Gaia!

The crystal version is sold in limited quantities around the world, and you may not be able to buy it if you have money. This is the version that stands at the top of the despised chain.

Of course, this thing is so rare.

Judging from the limited number, a prefecture-level city may not be able to have a Crystal Gaia. The SHF Collector's Edition of Supreme Gaia is enough to show off.

It sounds strange...

Among Gaia's many peripheral toys, the Sapphire Cone as a transformer is actually the lowest-selling new product.

Why exactly?

If it's because it's ugly, then the original Sapphire Cone is indeed ugly, and even children won't want to play with it.

But Meng Lang has already changed!

The redesigned Sapphire Cone, not to mention how good-looking it is, is at least much more pleasing to the eye than the original version, and it also has the feature of spreading wings. Why doesn't anyone buy it?

Out of curiosity, Meng Lang sent someone to inquire about the children's thoughts.

As a result, he was speechless.

The reason why children don’t buy Sapphire Cones is not because they are ugly, but because they are “not cool”.

According to the story in the play, the Sapphire Cone is the transformer made by Gao Shanmeng himself, creating the first human body and hand transformer.

This setting is very interesting!

But for children, the transformer made by the human body is definitely not as powerful as the transformer given by Ultraman.

to be honest……

This is a fake!

They are also transformers. My Divine Light Stick and his Flash Sword are all genuine given by Ultraman. Your Sapphire Cone is actually made by human hands?

Rubbish!

What a rubbish!

Children's thinking is so strange sometimes. Their reasons for rejecting Lan Baozui also made Meng Lang dumbfounded.

Forget it!

Let’s just say fakes are fakes. Since children don’t like this setting, it’s better not to get a “Human Body Hand Rubbing Transformer” next time.

He also realized it.

Among Gaia's many innovations, some settings were so successful that they were used in subsequent works. However, some settings were not pleasing to the eye and were eventually abandoned.

Transformer is one of them!

The human hand-rubbed transformer sounds so cool. Adults will think, wow, this is amazing, the screenwriter who came up with this is amazing!

But kids don’t like it…

There's no way around it! Ultraman is always an IP that relies on the support of children. If they don't like the settings, they must give up even if it is brilliant.

Maybe someone is curious?

Isn't the Kamen Rider next door also a human body and hand transformer? Why are belt drives so popular despite no one objecting?

The two properties are different!

Kamen Rider's transformation system has been clear since the first work, which was the beginning of the human transformation era.

Since he is a modified person, the belt must have been made by humans themselves!

The relevant settings have been shaped since the first work. And what about Ultraman? It was a “gift” system from the beginning!

Of course, it was changed later.

Gaia's attempt this time failed. Later, Tsuburaya thought about it. Since the Human Body Hand Rubbing Equipment is not suitable, then try another person?

But who will replace it?

The human organization in the play? That's inappropriate, artificial Ultraman will always be a taboo topic!

How about the Kingdom of Light?

This seems to be possible. The Science and Technology Bureau has the strength to manufacture a series of ultra-special equipment.

In the background of Ultraman Showa, many equipment produced by the Science and Technology Bureau were also mentioned, such as Jack's Ultra Bracelet, which can be regarded as laying the foundation in advance...

Thus, Hikali was born!

Hikari, the source of all evil, can be called the biggest mastermind in the history of Ultra, and his insidiousness is no less than that of Shafrin.

even……

Meng Lang has a guess!

Hikari is a member of the Blue Tribe and works for the Science and Technology Bureau of the Land of Light. Because of his contribution to investigations and research, he was recruited by Captain Zoffie as a member of the Space Guard. The silver dot on his chest is also the same medal of merit as Zoffie.

Why is it such a coincidence?

When there are so many coincidences, there is only one truth: all coincidences are intentional!

The Armor of Revenge was probably a secret plot laid by Zoffie to secretly control the Science and Technology Bureau in order to control Shikari.

On the surface, Hikari has broken free from the control of the Armor of Vengeance. But this was an illusion deliberately created by Zufi. The real Hikali was still controlled by him, constantly making various equipment in preparation for subverting the Kingdom of Light.

The equipment manufactured by Hikali was frequently stolen, which was probably done intentionally by Zufi.

The purpose is to use the hands of outsiders to test the actual combat performance of these equipment, and to explore the background of the new generation of the Kingdom of Light.

As expected of you, Shafrin!

With such a meticulous and rigorous plan, no one has noticed any abnormalities. The wisdom of that adult is simply unfathomable.

Of course, this is just a guess!

Was there collusion between Shikali and Shafrin? Is there a huge conspiracy hidden behind the frequent leaks of Kingdom of Light equipment? All this remains to be verified!

Anyway, Meng Lang is annoyed by Hikari.

This B must be intentional...

It doesn't matter if the equipment is stolen once or twice, it's stolen once a year!

Is your security fake? The Kingdom of Light dominates the universe, and the core research institute can be infiltrated so easily? What are the red tribe Aodu doing, hanging together?

It's not over yet!

The thing that Meng Lang couldn't accept the most was that whenever Hikali came up with some outrageous product, the evil forces soon produced imitations after it was leaked.

Ah this...

Is Hikali's product too easy to crack, or has the evil force obtained the true heritage of China and fully developed its reverse counterfeiting capabilities?

This is not normal at all!

After the new technology was released, Hikari was immediately cracked by his opponents and was suspected of being a traitor. In short, it was outrageous!

But then again!

If we were to choose the Ultraman that Bandai's dad likes the most among all the Ultraman, Hikari would definitely be at the top.

He is simply the God of Wealth!

If Hikari hadn't saved Tsuburaya by engaging in research and development, I'm afraid the Ultraman series would have died of Mambius long ago.

Gaia is the last light!

Whether he admits it or not, Tsuburaya has gone downhill since Gaia. If it hadn't been for Sai Rabbit taking a sip of milk and European political commissar coming to power to turn the tide, the Ultraman series would have been in ruins long ago.

Gauss, Nexus and Max, the three S generation Ultraman, to be honest, their performance is average.

Meng Lang was not very interested in Gauss.

Although it is an advanced fusion material, the image of a loving warrior is extremely tall and bright.

But this is just an illusion!

A loving warrior, but in reality he punches others hard. There is no doubt that the concept of this work was ridiculed, and Tsuburaya's face was swollen.

Hypocrisy or not?

Some people say it was just an accident! All the mistakes are the fault of the leading actor alone, and Gauss should not be blamed.

Really?

But the plan clearly says a new Ultraman with both strength and gentleness, has Tsuburaya achieved it?

The character they created of Gauss, or Musashi, clearly deviated from the original intention of combining strength and softness.

Why is Gaussian so unpopular?

Don't blame it on image, plot, etc. In fact, it boils down to one reason: the character is not likable!

Of course, I am talking about China here.

In the neon market, Gauss's set is quite pleasing. After all, the people there are afraid of being exploded by mushrooms, and they dream of world peace.

The protagonists of various animations are also generally dominated by Asashi.

But it’s just neon!

After Neon came out, who else would follow your example?

The scandal of Goss starring in a beating didn't cause much sensation in China. Many viewers didn't even know about it. Why is Goss still tepid?

This requires some reflection!

Asashi, the Japanese male protagonist, is not too unfamiliar in anime, but in live-action dramas, he is a bit unacceptable.

Of course, there is another side to Musashi.

Facing extremely ferocious monsters, he will also show a strong attitude and switch to the corona form to send the monsters on their way.

But that's not enough!

To change the soft impression of Gauss, the characteristics of benevolent influence must be retained, and new characteristics must be injected into Musashi.

So strong and soft at the same time!

Tsuburaya clearly found the right direction, but he did not strictly follow the plan. I have to say that this is Gauss's biggest failure.

So, this is not the fault of the lead actor.

Even if there was no beating scandal, Gauss's too softened character would not have won the love of most viewers.

Because of this, Meng Lang had little interest in Gauss.

It is too difficult to achieve the combination of hardness and softness. If the shot is not done well and another joke is made, it is better to just skip Gaussian!

It’s a fusion of materials anyway!

Whether there is a TV series or not seems to be unimportant for a fusion material like Gauss.

Compared with Cerro and Zaas, Gauss seems to be more in line with the characteristics of movie Austria!

I'm a little late coming back, sorry
