And we’re back with another Ultra-Act gallery! You may remember our little segment on Let’s Watch Wednesdays last year featuring Ultraman Nexus. Is so you’re in luck, today’s gallery is of none other than Ultraman Noa!
Noa is the true and Ultimate form of The Next & Ultraman Nexus. A being of immeasurable power Noa has protected his universe for hundreds of thousands of years. Dark Zagi was even cloned from Noa by the Visitors in the hopes of creating a second great hero. In an ironic twist of this relationship the Ultra-Act Noa figure is a remold of Ultra-Act Dark Zagi instead. As yet another excellent addition to the Ultra-Act line, Noa has received a gorgeous design & sculpt as well as selection of accessories despite his extremely limited appearances.

Tamashii’s main page has updated once again with some interesting future releases!
Highlights of the June release schedule are SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Chalice, the long-absent fan-favorite from “Kamen Rider Blade” and Ultra-ACT Ultraman Ginga, the newest supersized hero!
Price details on both are not yet confirmed so stay tuned for further details!
Ultra-ACT’s latest offering for fans is a double deal!
This recently announced two-pack highlights the dynamic duo of Ultraman Zero: Strong Corona & Luna Miracle!
These two will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in July for the low low price of 8,856 Yen!
Were you a fan of Let’s Watch Wednesdays with Ultraman Nexus? If so then you’re in luck, on top of our previous Ultraman Nexus Junis Red & Junis Blue galleries we have a special web exclusive treat for you! Today we have a gallery of Ultra-Act Dark Zagi!
Zagi himself is a dark clone or copy of Nexus’ original form, Ultraman Noa. As such he has immense power at his control and is wildly violent. First rearing his ugly mug in the Nexus finale, Zagi (or at least some version of him) would later return in Ultraman Ginga briefly. Though not the first or last dark giant or evil/dark Ultra, Zagi is certainly one of the most vile. Schemeing for decades towards his ultimate goal Zagi has gone down as one of the great Ultra villains. And this figure more than lives up to the image of that character, a welcome addition to any Ultra-Act collection.

It’s that time again folks! Kamen Rider Blade has ended and we’re sad to see it go, but now it’s time for us to pick up a new show for Let’s Watch Wednesdays!
As always Let’s Watch Wednesdays is intended to get the community together to check out some older tokusatsu they may not have seen before. We ask that each user make only 1 nomination. The 10 nominations with the most users behind them will be featured in a poll to decide the actual series for the segment next week. This nomination thread will be open from today January 15th through Sunday January 19th at 12 Midnight EST. So get your choices in before then.
There are a few other stipulations for nominating any new shows for LWW such as those series which are ineligible. So click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to check them out and get started! We look forward to all of your suggestions!
Rounding off this batch of Tamashii Webstore preorders is a renewal version of Ultra-Act Imitation Ultraman! This evil doppelganger of the hero and disguise of Alien Zarab comes packaged with alternate hands, replacement color timer, ultra water flow effect part and an extremely cool scaled Hoshino climbing a rope for the figure to hold.
Imitation Ultraman Renewal will be released in May 2014 as a Tamashii Web Exclusive, priced 4536 yen.
A new image has surfaced giving us the full list of Tamashii Web Exclusives slated for May 2014. Of note in the list of upcoming exclusives is two variations of the recently revealed S.H. Figuarts Auto Vaijin! One is slated for release in May for 5400 yen. But the other surprise release will be a 2-pack containing Auto Vaijin and yet another new release of Kamen Rider Faiz! This 2-pack version will retail for 8856 yen, also for release in May!
We also have our very first look at the upcoming Tamashii Web Exclusive Ultra-Act Imitation Ultraman Renewal! After the renewal of the original Ultraman it was only a matter of time before his evil doppleganger got the same treatment. The original release of Imitation Ultraman has since increased in price dramatically so hopefully this release won’t suffer the same fate. Imitation Ultraman is scheduled for release in May 2014 for 4536 yen.
This year marks the 50th Anniversary of the Ultra Series. In Celebration of the event, Chiayo Productions will be releasing Ultraman Forever, a DVD box set containing the first six series from the original Ultraman to Ultraman Leo and the box set will be released state side. Price and a release date were not announced as of this posting.
The thai based company is rather infamous for being in constant legal dispute with Tsuburaya Production for the overseas distribution rights of the Ultra Series.
