The form has been modelled many times since, in vinyl and in painted resin, for the collectors who keep the show's characters on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis figure follows that familiar stance: feet apart on a round base, fists closed at the waist, the head turned slightly forward. The body is a saturated red with a silver midsection and a silver mask. A studded pectoral plate carries a blue colour timer at its centre. The mask has a small green stone at the brow, upswept horns and a central crest. The base is a grey disc with a raised, dripping rim in a darker silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo maker's mark is present on the piece, and it is offered here as unattributed. The paint is applied over a hard figure, with a modest sheen on the red and a flatter tone on the silver. It is a display piece made for a cabinet rather than for play, and it stands steadily on its own base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ultraman Taro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unattributed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Painted figure on a circular base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red and silver, with a blue colour timer and a green brow stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight scratches, scuffs and a little dust, the ordinary marks of a figure that has been stood on a shelf.
