BANPRESTO’s GOUKAI series is bringing fans a new collectible in the form of “Father of Ultraman” (ウルトラの父), set for a February 2025 release. Standing at approximately 17 cm (about 6.7 inches), this figure highlights the detailed, exaggerated muscle structure the GOUKAI line is known for, capturing the heroic and powerful essence of Ultraman’s father, Ken.
Ultraman’s father first appeared in the 1972 series Ultraman Ace in Episode 27, where he was introduced as the leader of the Space Garrison from the Land of Light. Known for his authority and strength, he’s a revered figure among Ultraman fans and the father of Ultraman Taro, sharing a deep connection with the broader Ultraman universe.
The new figure meticulously replicates critical design elements, such as the prominent horns, sharp sideburns, and iconic chest emblem. True to the GOUKAI aesthetic, the “Father of Ultraman” figure enhances traditional muscle details, emphasizing the pectorals, trapezius, and abdomen, adding depth to his battle-ready form. His right arm is positioned to throw a punch, exuding dynamic energy and capturing the essence of this legendary hero.
The figure embodies Ultraman’s stoic and commanding presence with its silver and muted red color scheme. Collectors can also pair this with the “-Relax time- Ultraman Mother” figure, scheduled for release in January 2025, to complete the dynamic duo of Ultraman’s parents.
