Ultra MOTW- Antlar

 

Antlar is one of the best looking monsters in this first 13 episodes of Ultraman.  It comes complete with a magnetic ray that can even affect Ultraman.  It is strong enough to resist the Spacium Beam when fired point blank.  It's a good thing Ultraman had visited the Earth centuries ago and left a certain blue stone which is Antlar's weakness.  That is a very intriguing part of this story which is never really addressed again, that the Ultras have been around a lot longer than thought.  It makes sense, really, since the Ultra Planet has been established to be thousands of years old.

Antlar looks great.  It's a well designed costume, the actor can move around in it well.  It's also nicely detailed.  The beast has returned in a few recent series, but the only one I have seen is the Ultra Galaxy.  That one looks great as well!
