The official Bandai Tamashii Nations website has been counting down to the milestone of 100 releases since the Ultra Series joined the S.H. Figuarts line, and thanks to the latest batch of magazine leaks we can see that the 100th figure will be none other than an S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Ultraman!
Much like the premium treatment Ultraman Tiga received last year, the original 1966 Ultra hero will arrive as part of Bandai’s “true bone carving” line. While the release date, price and materials used on the figure are still unconfirmed, we can see from the images that this Ultraman will come packaged with multiple hands as well as his Specium Beam and Ultra Slash attack effect parts!

The Emissary of Hell, Spider-Man!
My Shiny Toy Robots returns with another tokusatsu review, this time looking back on the 1978 collaboration between the Toei Company and Marvel Comics – Spider-Man!
Whilst many fans remember this series for the giant robot Leopardon and what its introduction did for the Super Sentai franchise, Toei’s Spider-Man has so much more to offer as well – and isn’t as far away from the spirit of the original Spidey as some would have you believe.
Please check out the review and let us know your thoughts on Toei’s Spider-Man in the thread linked!
