“We, the ultimate lifeform, Absolution, have decided to take over your planet The Land of Light and make it our second home planet – The Kingdom.”

A new enemy threatens the Land of Light, manipulating events across time itself! In his bid to take over the Ultras homeworld, Absolute Tartarus is recruiting an army from across various dimensions and timelines. But where darkness threatens the light, Ultraman will be there – and it’s going to take numerous Ultramen from across the galaxy to stop it.

Last year Tsuburaya Productions released Ultra Galaxy Fight: The Absolute Conspiracy, the latest in the Ultra Fight range of miniseries, to their official YouTube channel. The ten episode series was made available with both Japanese subtitles and an English language dub.

Yesterday we saw Bandai Tamashii Nations jump into the world of high-end statues with the announcement of the Tamashii Studios Premium Ultraman Zero -10 Years of Trajectory- figure, but it looks as though the line won’t be just a one-off thing to celebrate Zero’s 10th anniversary!

A further two releases in this new line have been unveiled at Tamashii Nations 2020 – one of Zero’s rival Ultraman Belial, and another of Kamen Rider Double facing off against two Masquerade Dopants! Like the Zero figure both sport incredible detailing, however it’s unclear whether they also feature illuminating parts. One thing’s for sure though – they won’t come cheap.

Check out the full selection of images after the jump and join in on our Tamashii Nations 2020 discussion!

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of Ultraman Zero, Bandai Tamashii Nations have unveiled the Tamashii Studios Premium Ultraman Zero -10 Years of Trajectory-, the first in a line of high quality statues.

Sitting atop a rocky plinth (featuring a miniature Pigmon!), Ultraman Zero features illuminating eyes and colour timer as well as a removable cloak. This extremely high quality statue mirrors the detailing of the suit down to the finest detail, making it one of the most impressive pieces the company has produced to date.

Such quality does not come cheap though, with the Tamashii web exclusive statue costing a hefty 132,000 yen. If you’d like to add this incredible piece to your collection though, it will be releasing in July 2021.
