Shin Ultraman was cool and all—faithful to the OG creator’s vision, sure—but let’s be honest, it didn’t hit that warm, fuzzy nostalgic spot for everyone. If you’re one of those fans still daydreaming about classic suit wrinkles and glorious nighttime kaiju smackdowns, CCPJAPAN has something for you: the 1/6 Special Effects Series Ultraman (Type B) Specium Ray Tokyo Night Combat Ver.
Standing about 300 mm tall (roughly 11.8 inches), this fixed-pose figure captures Ultraman mid-Specium Ray, just like in Episode 18 when he battled Zarab in the Tokyo nightscape. Type B, for the uninitiated, is widely considered Ultraman’s best-looking suit—tight, sleek, and yes, with those signature pointy shoes. And it’s not just a static tribute. Hidden in its belly is a button that activates LED lighting for those dreamy glowing eyes and a color timer that flashes from blue to red, just like the real thing.
Finished in moody blues and shadow gradients to recreate moonlit combat vibes, it’s a display piece that screams drama without a single sound effect. It’s available for pre-order via Ultraman World M78 ONLINE for 35,200 yen [JP] (about US$230), shipping in late April 2025. Batteries not included, nostalgia definitely is.
