One more unusual news item from New York Comic Con!

 

Digital media service Crunchyroll has picked up the 2005 Ultra series, Ultraman Max and will make the program available for streaming!

For newly interested fans, here is the story of Ultraman Max:

In the very first episode a strange visitor from space notices Toma’s bravery when the young man risks his own life to help save a lost little boy from danger. The alien gives Toma the power to become the mighty superhero Ultraman Max, a towering red and silver giant 40 meters tall. When two gigantic monsters threaten the world, Toma uses his new powers to destroy them.

 

Ultraman Max will be available beginning October 14!

After a lenghty hiatus since the initial prototype was shown off, the long awaited Ultra-Act Ultraman Hikari will finally be released! Kazuya Serizawa, Hikari, hails from the series Ultraman Mebius. 

Though the original prototype of this figure looked quite nice, the final product looks fantastic. Hikari appears to include at least 1 alternate form of the Knight Brace to allow for his Knight Blade effect part to be used. He also includes his Knight Shot beam effect, an alternate color timer, and at least 2 sets of additional hands. Hikari will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in April 2015 for 4536 yen.

With less than a month to go before Super Hero Generations launches, Bandai Namco games just released a new PV trailer showcasing more of the game’s gorgeous looking battle animation, and what better way to do it than pitting villains against the heroes!

Super Hero Generations is  the latest entry in Bandai Namco’s Compati Hero series, a crossover  tactical RPG title involving Kamen Rider, Ultraman, and Mobile Suit Gundam coming out for PS3 and PSVita. A new gameplay trailer just recently came out, revealing the game’s theme song: Jumpin’ to Space performed by Psychic Lover, an artist whom  in our fandom performed many Super Sentai theme songs including Dekaranger, Boukenger, Shinkenger, and most recently Kyoryuger.

Much like in SD Gundam G-Generations, you’ll be able to freely choose which stage you’ll want to play, and it seems that a majority of the characters will be voiced by their returning actor.

Super Hero Generations is due out October 23rd 2014. Planning on picking up this game? Join the disscussion and let us know in the thread!

In lieu of all the Figureoh scans, an unexpected announcement from Premium Bandai narrowly fell off the radar, with a special diorama set dipicing an early film set straight out of Tsuburaya studios!

The diorama will include a sun set backdrop along with a day time backdrop in addition to city scape, working lights, and to scale props. While this set  is meant to go with Sofubi figures it should be scaled well enough to work with Tamashi branded products such as Ultra Act and Monster Arts.

The pre order will run from July 22nd till October 31st and will be released May 2nd 2015 for 25,920 yen.

Also revealed among this new wave of magazine scans is Ultra-Act Ultraman 80, from the 1981 television series of the same name!

The Regular edition on Ps3 will cost 7,600 yen with the special sound edition being 10,450 yen while the Vita version will be a little cheaper at 6,640 for the Regular and 9,500 for the special edition.
