It’s that time again! The newest batch of magazine scans from Japan have revealed the forthcoming Bandai Tamashii Nations solicitations for November/December 2016, and this batch of S.H. Figuarts looks like one that will go down well with fans.

First up are the eagerly anticipated Kamen Rider Alpha and Kamen Rider Omega from Kamen Rider Amazons. Both are retail release figures, with Omega arriving in November and Alpha following in December – both priced 5616 yen. Interestingly the scan also makes reference to an exclusive Amazon.jp version of Omega also due in November and priced 6696 yen. What differences this figure will have are currently unknown.

Next is S.H. Figuarts Zoffy, Ultraman‘s superior and officer in the Space Garrison! Previous Ultra-Act versions of the character became extremely sought after, but this will be retail release in November and cost 5940 yen.

Look out for more magazine reveals over the coming few days and be sure to check out the full-sized images after the jump!

Bandai had a rather unusual reveal for us at the Tokyo Toy Show with a line of various Ultraman characters that transform into containers of cup ramen.

At the moment, we don’t know when this bizarre toy line will be released but at the very least we know they’ll cost a rather affordable 850 yen a piece.

At the same time, Bandai’s youtube channel posted a teaser for the Ultra Noodle Series which you can view in the box below:

Bandai has just updated it’s Ultraman 50th Anniversary page with a full set of official images for S.H. Figuarts Zetton!

This figure was just revealed in last weeks’ Tamashii Pick Up so there’s nothing new we haven’t seen before. But it’s nice to get a full look at this upcoming release. Zetton appears to at least include an effect part for interacting with S.H. Figuarts Ultraman, though not much else. We’ll update you if that changes.

S.H. Figuarts Zetton will be released in October as a retail release for 6480 yen.

Tsuburaya Productions has officially revealed the newest Ultra Hero, Ultraman Orb!

This new series will commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Ultraman franchise. Ultraman Orb is portrayed by Hideo Ishiguro, whom fans may recognize as Kai from Kamen Rider Den-O.

By inserting Ultra Fusion Cards into his henshin device, the Orb Ring– Ultraman Orb can transform for battle! Each of Ultraman Orb’s forms revealed thus far combines abilities from previous Ultras-

*Specium Zeperion is a fusion of the very first Ultraman and the fan-favorite Ultraman Tiga.
*Burn Mite unites the powers of Ultraman Meibus and Ultraman Taro.
*Hurricane Slash combines the strengths of Ultraman Zero and Ultraman Jack.

Director Kiyotaka Taguchi (who previously worked on Ultraman X) will return for this new project. Currently, Ultraman Orb is scheduled to begin on July 9 2016 and run for 25 Episodes.

Stay tuned to TokuNation for more details on this exciting Ultra project!

With Ultraman set to celebrate his 50th birthday in July (along with the birthday of his creator Eiji Tsuburaya), many collectors speculated that this month would see the release of the S.H. Figuarts Ultraman figure previously revealed at last year’s Tamashii Nations event. And thanks to the latest set of magazine scans, we can now confirm this to be the case!

S.H. Figuarts Ultraman will be a mass release figure, retailing for 5200 yen. His accessories include a selection of effect parts, including of course his signature Specium Ray attack. In addition to this two scaled “Option Act Building Sets” will be released that month, retailing at 2700 yen each and coming in standard and damaged variants. However if both of these things take your fancy, a special Ultraman 50th Anniversary set is also being released, costing 8000 yen and including Ultraman, a special colour version of the building set AND a scaled Alien Baltan spacecraft.

As for Baltan itself? That’ll be joining the line the following month in August, retailing for 5940 yen. No word on the previously revealed Zetton figure yet, but expect that to join shortly afterward.

Stay tuned for more information on these figures in the coming week!
