Who/What is Ultraman?
Ultraman is a Japanese superhero media franchise created by Eiji Tsuburaya, the "Father of Tokusatsu." Debuting in 1966 with Ultra Q and then Ultraman, the franchise has remained one of the world's most prominent and consistent productions in Japanese media history.
Centered around a fictional alien race of Light Giants from a far-off galaxy, these superheroes have come to Earth to guide humanity and act as protectors of the planet. Bonding with a human host, these beings are the last line of defense against the endless tides of giant monsters and aliens that threaten our world.
Who is Tsuburaya Productions?
Tsuburaya Productions is a Japanese special effects studio founded in 1963 by special effects wizard Eiji Tsuburaya. The studio is best known for the creation of classic shows such as Ultraman (and its many sequels), Kaiju Booska and many other spectacular tokusatsu family/children's shows.
Toy Details
The first wave of Ultraman characters will consist of Ultraman, Gabora, and Gomora. We will be producing these figures in soft vinyl at a 3" scale. Each Figure will be made available painted or unpainted. The figures will also be offered at a lower price on the Kickstarter as a thank you to our supporters. The retail and wholesale non-Kickstarter purchase price will be announced in future offerings after the fulfillment of the Kickstarter campaign.
