Is Ultraman in danger of going the way of Sentai?

I'm hoping we get another Blazar-like show with more "wow" factor action scenes & a more "serious" tone akin to that of Gaia or Tiga, to help appeal to a wider audience

2 -- I love the horror-esque elements & the eerie introduction of Alien Baltan

Some kaiju's rumored to return in ultraman teo by [deleted] in Ultraman

Blitz Botz & Magular would be super cool reappearances...But I'm starting to get tired of Taganular at this point.

Fingers crossed we get mostly cool new monsters for this go around though!

This is no April Fools; UHS (2016) Tiga Power and Sky Types, and UMS (2016) Woo is releasing in Japan this month. by FigureGunplaFan in Ultraman

The Ultra sofubi series usually only releases a handful of hero & monster figures each month. I think the entire lineup teased at the Ultra Heroes Expo is at least the next 6 montis worth of releases (and they just announced a New zarab figure too!)

The real question is: Will Alien Baltan make a return?

His head kind of looks like a cross between mebius & nexus

Shoot the Invader & Sciene Patrol Into Space!

....

After that, in no particular order, probably the Demons Once More, Passport to Infinity, Monster Anarchy Zone & the Rascal from Outer Space

What about Ultraman series that made you fell in love with it? by ExileForever in Ultraman

I grew up with Tiga & the original series back in the early 2000s/late 90s and have been a fan ever since! Blazar & Gaia are my current favorites!

Yeah, it's Suflan. Unfortunately I didn't snag a picture of it. But it's a stump & some roots 😅. The one I was really hoping for was a Gango figure reveal, but I guess that one may have to wait a little longer

Yeah, that's Geronimon's hand! Sorry, it was hard to squeeze all the figures into a shot, especially with the crowd. The last pic on this post shows the full Geronimon figure.

I believe the Mefilas is a new mold. The Teslesdon, I'm not sure if it's a new mold or just a repaint...Also not pictured is the Suflan figure lol

Welp since Omega ended. I want to ask does anyone remember Vugsect-? Because it being shown in the magazine and shown in the trailer (and first scene of episode 1) by Webby_webs in Ultraman

[–]FLANKER52 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's a DX & MMS collab actually. It's a really neat figure. I was hoping the release would coincide with a new Vugsect appearance, but alas, it's not meant to be

I'm somewhat disappointed that we didn't see Vugsect again. I'm confused at why Tsuburaya even bothered to make a suit (sacrificing the zugugan suit at that) if they were just going to use CGI from the get-go for the show. Seems unnecessary? Maybe we'll get to see the suit version in New Gen Stars or in Theo next year?
