Hot on the heels of the release of the Ultraman Suit, Tamashii Nations has just revealed (via the Ultraman Manga/Anime Twitter) their next entry in the Ultraman anime line of S.H. Figuarts. Once again, it’s a bit of a do-over, but one that should please collectors.

Bemular (The Animation) takes the original Manga Bemular S.H. Figuarts X Ultra-Act release, and re-works it into a newly improved design more in line with the Netflix anime’s design style. A side by side comparison of the two figures attached here shows just how different the new animation release really is.

Tamashii has confirmed that Bemular will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive, though at this time release date and price have yet to be announced. We’ll update this story when that information becomes available.

After a rousing success in international print sales, numerous S.H.Figuarts, high end 1/6 scale figures, statues, busts, & other collectibles, the last barrier left to conquer for Eeichi Shimizu’s ULTRAMAN manga is of course, for it to be adapted to anime!

Headed our way in 2019 will be a full anime adaptation of the long running ULTRAMAN manga! A countdown had been ticking down on the series official website, without much further information until now. As more information about this series is revealed, such as the animation staff and voice cast, we’ll be sure to keep you up to date. If you’re unfamiliar with the ULTRAMAN Manga, here’s a handy summary of the plot from the series US publisher Viz:

Decades ago, a being known as the Giant of Light joined Shin Hayata of the Scientific Special Search Party to save Earth from an invasion of terrifying monsters known as Kaiju. Now, many years later, those dark days are fading into memory, and the world is at peace. But in the shadows a new threat is growing, a danger that can only be faced by a new kind of hero – a new kind of Ultraman…

Shinjiro is an ordinary teenager, but his father is the legendary Shin Hayata. When he learns that his father passed on the “Ultraman Factor” to him, and that he possesses incredible powers, nothing will ever be the same again.

Now that the Ultraman manga is in full swing on both sides of the pond it’s no surprise that the series is proving popular with figure manufacturers. At this year’s Summer Wonderfest a number of different companies had figures on display, including Sentinel, ThreeZero and of course Bandai Tamashii Nations.

Among the figures seen at the event were:

  • A ThreeZero Ultraman prototype, with masked and unmasked head options
  • Sentinel’s 12′ HERO’s Meister Ultraman (Previously released)
  • 12′ HERO’s Meister Ultraman Special Ver., with a metallic finish and unmasked head
  • Ultra-Act x S.H. Figuarts Ultraman (Previously released)
  • Ultra-Act x S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Special Ver. (Previously released)
  • Ultra-Act x S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Suit Ver. 7.2
  • Ultra-Act x S.H. Figuarts Ace Suit

Another surprise reveal has gone up on the Premium Bandai site! This time it’s for another upcoming Tamashii Web Exclusive, a new re-release of sorts. Ultra-Act x S.H. Figuarts Manga Ultraman Special Edition!

This new figure is actually a re-release of the Manga Ultraman that came out back in July. However those who purchased that retail release figure may feel a bit cheated. Ultraman Special Edition includes several accessories that the 1st release did not. An unmasked Shinjiro head, armblade effect parts, and a personalized Tamashii Stage!

Ultra-Act x S.H. Figuarts Manga Ultraman Special Edition will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in May 2016 for 6480 yen!

Joining the S.H. Figuarts Trychaser 2000 in as a mass release item in July will be the much anticipated Ultraman figure from the currently ongoing manga sequel to the original 1966 series. This figure is a particularly special release as it is a collaboration between both the Ultra-Act and S.H. Figuarts lines.

Price details and accessories are yet to be confirmed, so stay tuned to Tokunation.com over the coming week for more information!
