The official Bandai Tamashii Nations website has been counting down to the milestone of 100 releases since the Ultra Series joined the S.H. Figuarts line, and thanks to the latest batch of magazine leaks we can see that the 100th figure will be none other than an S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Ultraman!

Much like the premium treatment Ultraman Tiga received last year, the original 1966 Ultra hero will arrive as part of Bandai’s “true bone carving” line. While the release date, price and materials used on the figure are still unconfirmed, we can see from the images that this Ultraman will come packaged with multiple hands as well as his Specium Beam and Ultra Slash attack effect parts!

We’ll bring you more information on this release as it comes!

Gonna TIGA! Take me, take me higher!

Thanks to the latest round of magazine images we can see that Bandai Tamashii Nations have something very special in store for Ultraman Tiga’s 25th anniversary. Whilst many assumed his revealed-long-ago S.H. Figuarts figure would finally be released to celebrate occasion, these new images in fact reveal that Tiga will be the first Ultraman to join the S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou range!

Sporting the Shinkocchou Seihou “true bone carving” sculpting method, Ultraman Tiga will be released for the price of 6600 yen (exact release date still unclear). Along with a selection of alternate hands, it will also include his Spacium Beam effect.

Stay tuned to Tokunation for more news as it comes and site sponsors Tokullectibles and Big Bad Toy Store for preorders as they come!

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.

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.
