We’ve said before that Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi’s
Shin Ultraman design of the beloved Tokustatsu hero doesn’t look all that much different than his classic ‘60s counterpart, but that’s not going to stop Bandai from releasing a new action figure of him. The sparsely accessorized figure comes with a few alternate hands for posing and that’s about it, but it does a great job of translating the upcoming film’s lanky, distinctly
off-looking take on Ultraman really well nonetheless. And what else do you need it to do, really? The figure’s out in Japan this summer, for about $48. [TNI]
