In the midst of all the Shin Ultraman hype following the recently released teaser trailer, Medicom have revealed they too will be joining the merchandising train with the announcement of a MAFEX Shin Ultraman figure. So far this reveal only consists of a teaser image of the figure, so how this will differ from Bandai’s S.H. Figuarts offering outside of sculpting is still unknown. We’ll update you on accessories, release date, pricing and any other news as it comes!

From the writer/director combo behind 2016’s Shin Godzilla, Shin Ultraman is a new feature length reimagining of the original Ultraman series. Though only brief, this trailer gives us our first glimpse at some of the movie’s cast, its kaiju and finally Shin Ultraman himself.

For those of you that might be just tuning in, Toho and Tsuburaya will be collaborating on a new Ultraman feature film called Shin Ultraman, helmed by Shin Godzilla director Shinji Higuchi himself.
At Tsuburaya Convention 2019, our friends at Toho and Tsuburaya just unveiled what the design could possibly end up looking like, and it seems like they’re sticking as close to the original design as possible.
