“Ultralive!”
The Dark Spark War. The forces of good and evil battling across infinite dimensions. The bleak future where Ultraman Ginga battled his evil half, Dark Lugiel. Ended in a draw, every Ultraman, Woman, Alien, & Monster across reality was reduced to lifeless Spark Dolls. Scattering among the stars, some, fell to Earth. There, Hikaru Raido has returned to his hometown to sort through visions of the future. But before he can find the answers, Hikaru meets Ultraman Taro! Retaining his sentience as a Spark Doll, Taro uses his experience to guide the young Hikaru along his new journey as he discovers the secrets of the Dark Spark War, and protects the Earth as Ultraman Ginga!
S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Ginga is a milestone to me. I remember reviewing the old Ultra-Act release back in 2014 and thinking it was pretty great. It goes without saying that the Figuart, improves on that release in every conceivable way. With a defined sculpt, lavish details, and astounding articulation improvements, Ultraman Gina can pose with the best of them. And he looks incredibly stylish while doing so! Including multiple sets of hands and a color timer, Ginga also carries his powerful Ginga Spark Lance and comes with a effect part to recreate the Ginga Cross Shoot!
We’ve put together over 60 images of S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Ginga for your viewing pleasure. You can see the entire gallery and read through our extensive review after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the Tokunation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Coming up soon, we’re doing two more back to back Ultra galleries! S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Taro & Ultraman Suit Ver. 7!
This morning Tsuburaya Productions has announced a brand new short form Youtube series for the Ultraman franchise. Ultra Galaxy Fight New Generation Heroes pits the New Gen Ultras from Ginga all the way through Geed against the League of Darkness! Their ranks comprised of more brand new additions to the iconic dark repaint category, the League also appears to be lead by a character originally created for the Pachinko game Ultraman Taro: Revenge of the Dark. None other than Ultra Dark Killer! Though he’s appeared off and on in stage shows, this marks the villains first TV series appearance. Menacing our heroes will also be two slick new evil repaints, Ultraman X Darkness and Ultraman Geed Darkness!
In a surprise move Tsuburaya has not only posted a standard Japanese trailer for the series to their Youtube, but an English trailer as well! In addition, an english statement from series director, the incredible Koichi Sakamoto, has been posted detailing the series. The series will release worldwide in both Japanese & English simultaneously each week. The series will begin September 29th an run for 13 episodes, each 5 minutes long. Check out the English trailer below!

Ultra Series fans can rejoice as the current lineup of New Generation Ultras is about to finally be complete with the release of S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Ginga! After being previously revealed via magazine images, these new images from Bandai Tamashii Nations give us a better look at the 2013 Ultra hero, based on his original appearance in the series.
Available as a retail release in October for the price of 6050 yen, S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Ginga comes packaged with three pairs of additional hands, a replacement colour timer, Ginga Cross Shoot effect part and the Ginga Spark Lance. Japanese preorders will begin on June 3rd!
ULTRA LIVE!
Just in case you missed it, Bandai Tamashii teased that an S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Ginga was coming down the pipeline. We first saw the prototype at an Ultra Heroes Tamashii event in Shanghai back in March and we finally have new photos of this figure courtesy of Figureoh magazine along with some release info!
S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Ginga will be released in October for 6050 yen as a mass retail release. A Ginga Spark Lance is shown to be included though we don’t know if that’ll be some sort of first-run pre-order bonus or not.
ULTRA LIVE!
Earlier at the beginning of last month, we reported that an Ultra Heroes Tamashii Event will be taking place in Shanghai, China. That aforementioned event is currently in full swing, and we now have our first batch of reveals from the exhibition, starting with our first full look at the long-awaited S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Ginga!
We’ve also been getting reports of other new S.H.Figuarts Ultramen releases being spotted or hinted at the event, of note Ultraman Orb’s Burnmite, and Hurricane Slash forms, in addition to an Eleking Armor option set for Ultraman X though, at the moment, only Ginga himself was shown at the event.
The Ultra Heroes Tamashii event is actually a month-long event, so we’re bound to be getting more exciting new Ultraman reveals in the near future. So be sure to check back with us when the time comes.
The Tamashii Pickup reveals for the months of June & July have gone up through the Tamashii Nations website. And this month’s reveals bring us only one toku toy, but it’s certainly a good one. Hailing from the series Ultraman Ginga S is Ginga’s partner, S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Victory!
Born from the powerful Victorium Stone, Ultraman Victory has the ability to Ultrans, gaining the powers of certain Spark Dolls in his right arm as a result. The good news is that the Victory Figuart can apparently replicate this ability. Though there’s only two Ultrans shown off, they’re both pretty big winners. We now know that Victory will include the EX Red King Knuckle as well as the Shepherdon Saber! This is of course thanks to scans popping up from this month’s Figure Oh, which of course also confirms a June release for Victory at 6480 yen. Victory is also a retail release.
Could Ultraman Ginga or perhaps even Ginga Strium be on the way to accompany Ultraman Victory? Time will tell, and we’ll let you know if it does!
This title nearly fell off the radar, with Bandai Namco Games having released a sequel is coming down the pipe line. The first Lost Heroes game was released in 2012 and features characters from the Mobile Suit Gundam, Ultraman, and Kamen Rider franchises. Lost Heroes 2 also features new characters from the franchise in a battle system reminiscent to the Shin Megami Tensei franchise. Those new heroes are:
Gundam:
Unicorn
F91
00 Raiser
Kamen Rider:
Black
Fourze
Wizard
Ultraman:
Leo
Tiga
Ginga
Kamen RIder Black RX and the 00 Quanta are also in the game, interestingly enough those two will be treated as form changes according to the trailer. Lost Heroes 2 will be released on the Nintendo 3DS console in February 15th 2015, a premium version is also available for purchase.
Tamashii’s main page has updated once again with some interesting future releases!
Highlights of the June release schedule are SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Chalice, the long-absent fan-favorite from “Kamen Rider Blade” and Ultra-ACT Ultraman Ginga, the newest supersized hero!
Price details on both are not yet confirmed so stay tuned for further details!
After an extended hiatus, the newest Ultra Hero returns to the airwaves tomorrow- November 20th, 2013.
