The next Ultra Act release has been announced and it’s none other then Ultra Mother!
Ultra Mother will retail or 5040 yen and appears to be a November 2013 release. Ultra Mother appears to be a Tamashi Web exclusive.
A pair of new images of Ultra Act King Gridman have gone up on Tamashi Web’s gallery.
Much like the Thunder Gridman released later last year, the King Gridman will include the same type of dummy Gridman body
As such, the second image shows that much like Thunder Gridman, the Ultra Act Gridman body can still be used with this armour in place of the dummy.
A variety of new images from the upcoming new Ultra project have surfaced online. In addition to a better look at the new suit and hero, we also have some new plot details.
The new lead is a 17-year-old young man named Hikaru who uses the “Ginga Spark” to transform and reawaken the powers of the lost Ultras, which have been turned into dolls and scattered throughout the universe. This new series is expected to run for 11 episodes and two specials.
Tune in July 10th for the premiere of Ultraman Ginga’s adventures!
As reported here just two days ago, Tamashii Web have made it official and listed S.H. Figuarts exclusives of Kamen Rider Stronger Charge Up and Electro-Wave Human Tackle as well as both versions of Ultra-Act Ultraman Jonias in animated and live action forms!
Stronger Charge-Up will include three pairs of alternate hands, his scarf and effects piece, retails for 3465 yen and ships in October. Tackle, meanwhile, will actually be released in November despite the original rumored release date. She comes with two alternate scarves and two pairs of alternate hands, and will cost 3990 yen.
Ultraman Jonias and Ultraman Jonias Anime Color Version are both released in October and will cost 4410 yen each. Each version of Jonias includes three pairs of alternate hands, two effects parts, and two replacement star symbols. It’s currently unclear due to a lack of images whether the effects will be identical between versions or may differ in color and appearance.

Shout Factory, known for bringing Power Rangers to DVD recently here in the US, and the 3 Japanese exclusive G1 Transformers series before that, is taking a stab at some classic tokusatsu. Announced today, Shout Factory will be releasing a full DVD set of Ultra Q!
Ultra Q, as you may or may not know, is the precursor to the original Ultraman series which ran from 1966-67. This DVD release will contain the full 28 episode run of Ultra Q. Currently it’s unknown whether or not these DVD’s will only contain the Japanese audio track with english subtitles, or if it will also contain the elusive english dub produced in the late 60’s by Film House in Canada.
What is known is that it will be digitally colored and re-mastered from it’s original black and white, contain the full 6-disc 28 episode series, and that retail price will be $59.97. However pre-ordering through the shout factory site will reduce the price to $47.98.
