“Precious friends, fight together with me!”

7 years after Earth first encountered the giant of light Ultraman, Ultraman Taro arrived! Taking the human Kotaro Higashi as his host, Taro fought against legions of Kaiju as they invaded the Earth. And for years since, Taro has fought hard and earned the respect of his peers. Mentoring new generations of heroes at the Ultra Coliseum, Taro also went on to instruct and guide the likes of Mebius & Ginga. This Master fighter has lived a long and hard fought life, but that didn’t stop him from settling down either. Passing his skills down to yet another generation, Taro instills the hope & power of the land of light in his son, Ultraman Taiga!

Recently we had a chance to review both S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Ginga, and the Ultraman Suit Ver 7 thanks to our good friends at Bluefin Brands. Now they’ve treated us to something a bit more classic with S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Taro! Hailing from the 6th Ultra series which bears his name, many a fan of the New Generation Ultras will recognize Taro from his time mentoring Ginga. This figure will appeal to any fan of the character though. Recereating his timeless appearance and updating his articulation to modern standards, SHF Taro will stand tall with your other heroes. Armed with the mighty Bracelet Lancer, Taro also includes the iconic Storium Ray effect part for all of your Kaiju destroying needs!

We’ve packed a full 50+ image gallery into the review thread linked below. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see the entire thread for S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Taro. Next time, we’re finally rounding out our reviews of Power Rangers Lighting Collection Wave 3 with the Mighty Morphin Red Ranger!

More big news from Tsuburaya Convention 2019 is the announcement of Ultraman Taiga The Movie: New Generation Climax! This film will not only feature a team up with the previous heroes from Ultraman R/B, but will also include appearances from the other New Generation Ultramen – Ultraman Ginga, Ultraman Victory, Ultraman X, Ultraman Orb and Ultraman Geed!

As seen in the trailer linked below, the film will see the New Generation Ultras join the Tri-Squad to face a new dark threat – one which mysteriously includes Taiga’s own father, Ultraman Taro!

Ultraman Taiga The Movie: New Generation Climax will be released in Japanese cinemas in March 2020.

This has been one great show this year! However the absence of Super Sentai figuarts & the smaller presence of Metal Heroes & other offbeat toku heroes is noticeable. So we’d like to know what are your thoughts on the showing from Bandai and Tamashii Nations this year? Sound off in our ongoing discussion of all the reveals from this show by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.

Ultraman Taro was the 6th entry in the Ultra franchise and ran from 1973-1974. Once Taro is out he’ll be joining his soon to be released father, Ultra-Act Ultra Father!
