“I was born for this purpose. It is what I do…”

Thanks to the sleuthing of Twitter user @_Erasu we have the news that Alien Zarab will soon be joining the ever-growing lineup of Ultraman S.H. Figuarts! First appearing in the 18th episode of the original series (“Brother from Another Planet”), the deceptive Zarab race has gone on to appear in Ultraman Mebius, Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle, Ultraman X and more.

From the pictures provided we can see that Alien Zarab will come with his portable communication device, removable “ear” pieces to simulate his shrunken state and a selection of alternate hands. Release date and price are yet to be confirmed, but it’s fair to assume that S.H. Figuarts Alien Zarab will likely be a Tamashii web exclusive item. We’ll bring you more information as it comes, but in the meantime check out the full range of pictures after the jump!

Kenelephant Brands just unveiled a unique statue for fans of Ultraman. Cast in polystone, this 1/12 Ultraman statue is referencing an old photo of Eiji Tsuburaya himself on set during the production of the original Ultraman. For those of you that own August Ragone’s book: Eiji Tsuburaya: Master of Monsters you’ll instantly recognize this piece as the cover for said book. 

But, this awesome piece comes with a catch: the Kenelephant Eiji Tsuburaya & Ultraman 1/12 Statue will set you back about 32,400 yen. It’ll be released in February 2018 but it seems like only 300 or so of these will be made.

It’s time once again to check out a giant sized creature of epic proportions in another Ultraman S.H. Figuarts gallery! Dating back to the original TV series, episode 26 to be exact, is the immense creature Gomora! Though we’ve seen examples of this species many times since it’s debut, the most memorable for many is still the original.

S.H. Figuarts Gomora is a pretty beefy figure when you get right down to it. A beast fit to fight your Ultramen figures. Gomora lacks some of the better articulation we’ve come to expect with Kaiju figuarts, but does make up for things with his wonderfully segmented tail. Pair him up with your S.H. Figuarts Ultraman, or in my case the old Ultra-Act V2, and you can see just why Kaiju figuarts continue to go strong. He even includes some special accessories to replicate his severed tail and horn from his battle with Ultraman!

We’ve attached the full 70 image gallery to this post but you can also check out our full length review of S.H. Figuarts Gomora by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time we’ll be back to “Start our mission” with a brand new gallery from Kamen Rider Drive!

As you may recall, an S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Geed Primitive Form was rumoured to have been in develoupment, thanks to a little blurb that was contained in the instruction manual for one of Ultraman Orb’s Figuarts, we finally have our first look at the figure thanks to Bandai’s most recent Tamashii Pick Up announcement with his only accessory being shown thus far being an effect piece to represent his Wrecking Burst finishing move.

In addition to that, we have the S.H.Figuarts Shocker Combatman Renewal utilizing the new body that was first seen at Tamashii Nations World Tour Taipei. Shown to include two weapons: a knife, and a staff as part of his accessory count.

Both figures will be released at mass retail as part of the February batch of releases, the price point has yet to be announced as of this writing but we’ll be sure to let you know as soon as that info is made available. Until then, stay tuned and join the discussion after the jump.
