Bandai Launches ‘Mini Ultraman Collection: Rising’ Series
In a recent announcement, Bandai has expanded its collection offerings with the launch of the “Mini Ultraman Collection: Rising.” This new series follows the success of similar collections, bringing Ultraman enthusiasts a fresh array of meticulously crafted, small-scale figures. Scheduled for release on July 6, 2024, each figure is priced at 550 JPY (approximately $4 USD), and fans can collect 12 different styles.
The “Mini Ultraman Collection: Rising” derives inspiration from the animated film “ULTRAMAN: Rising,” produced by Light Magic Industrial and Tsuburaya Productions and distributed by Netflix. The story centers on Ken Sato, a baseball superstar turned Ultraman, who faces the unique challenge of nurturing a cute monster named Emi after defeating the giant Jaigantoron. These trials bring a new depth to his role as Ultraman, tasked with protecting Earth and overcoming monstrous threats.
Each figure in the collection stands about 5 cm (approximately 2 inches) tall and features various iconic characters in two distinct poses. The lineup includes Ultraman in action, the dragon-like monster Jaigantoron from the previews, and Emi, who sees Ultraman as a mother figure, along with other characters like Neronga and Bemlar, in both regular and transparent versions.
