【Return of Ultraman】With a gimmick where the color timer on the chest shines in 2 colors! Fulfilling supervision cooperation from Light Sculpture Studio, Ultimate Article Return of Ultraman, ultimate about sculpting commitment, is made into a 3D figure!

If enjoying “Return of Ultraman” as a figure, after all you want a presence where at the moment gazing at the standing figure you can feel “That's Ultraman”. What answers such expectations head-on is “Ultimate Article Return of Ultraman”. The biggest feature is, whatever you say, the impressive size of about 40cm. Rather than casually placing on a shelf, there is a sense of scale as if changing the displayed place itself into the work world. Precisely because it is a hero continuing to be supported even welcoming the 55th anniversary from broadcast, deeply emotional feelings when becoming a large figure are all the more. Not simply large, but the place finished into a 3D work for appreciating the existence named “Return of Ultraman” thoroughly would be the major charm of this item.

The reason making you want to gaze at it thoroughly is also in its sculpting. Receiving supervision cooperation from Tsuburaya Productions LSS (Light Sculpture Studio), this product carefully reproduces suit details and unique proportions used in the early series. Handling prototype is Kenji Seki. Rather than a directionality coolly arranging the hero modernly, the point of treasuring being able to savor the figure seen in videos of those days as a 3D object is an interesting part. Precisely because of the size of about 40cm, it is easy to direct eyes from whole body silhouettes to fine sculptings, and there is also the fun of discovering “Is it built up to this far?” while changing viewing angles. People who want to cherish the atmosphere of the Showa Ultra Series seem likely to spend longer time gazing at it at hand.

This figure does not end with only gazing. Turning switch ON1, transformation sound SE sounds, and eyes and the blue color timer light up. Furthermore, familiar BGMs named “Ultraman Appearance” and “Ultraman Standing in the Setting Sun” are played back. Because the 40cm Ultraman lights up and even music is added there, you seem able to enjoy a feeling as if the figure that was displayed suddenly connected with the work world. Especially in the place recording “Ultraman Standing in the Setting Sun”, commitment to the work is felt. Quiet fun appreciating sculpting, and experiences evoking memories in the show through sounds and lights, being able to savor both in a single figure would be unique to the Ultimate Article series.

Furthermore switching to ON2, this time the atmosphere changes completely. The color timer blinks red, and matching that after the timer sound sounds for about 20 seconds, the special move “Specium Ray” SE is activated. Because Ultraman's voice is recorded as well, there is a sense of realism slightly different from mere light-emitting figures. From normal time shining blue, to red blinking letting you feel time limits, and to special moves. The structure where this series of flow can be enjoyed in a single figure, if people who watched over battles in front of TV in childhood, should spontaneously react. Color timers after all become intensely passionate by adding “sounds and developments” rather than only shining.

Being able to choose display ways is also a pleasing point. By exchanging option arms, 2 types named “Fighting Pose” and “Specium Ray” can be reproduced. Enjoying the grandly ready figure, or cutting out the moment of firing special moves, you can do displays with differing expressions depending on the mood of the day. And what cannot be missed is that a left glove equipped with the special weapon “Ultra Bracelet” that appeared from Episode 18 is included. Because it is an exchangeable type, you can choose up to whether to emphasize the image of early appearance, or make it a figure carrying the Ultra Bracelet. Becoming specifications where not only poses, but even the hero's figure that changed inside the work can be enjoyed.

On the pedestal, work logo and Ultra Sign logo, 2 types of stickers are prepared, finished according to preference. This product where “Return of Ultraman”, indispensable when talking about the second kaiju boom in the 1970s, can be enjoyed with colorful elements named large sculpting, exchange parts, light emission, sound, and BGM. Rather than a figure simply reproducing a hero's figure, saying an item for displaying videos, music, and sense of tension in battles of those days all together suits better. Dropping the room lighting a little and turning on the switch, the 40cm silver giant makes its eyes shine. At that moment, “Return of Ultraman” seen on TV in the past might be felt as if really returned.
