It was never picked up though.
Ultraman Powered is an American produced Ultraman series that aired in 1995, that's the one I was thinking of.
Yeah, but Ultra Galaxy isn't exactly directly Ultraman. It's more "ultra universe" with Ultraman as a cameo. Which similar concepts might be used in a future version that focuses on the wider Ultra-Galaxy as opposed to Ultraman. There's been brief rumblings of looking into some of the side heroes(non-Ultra family) for co-productions/cameos or new shows in other markets.
IIRC, on Ultra-Galaxy that was the entire point, so they could have a show they could license out using the Iconic monsters without absolutely needing to use Ultraman. It was essentially their approach to doing "Ultraman without Ultraman". Like how Gotham is batman without batman.
Forgot about Powered, but yeah that goes back to before about how they rarely do licensed out for adaptations and prefer co-productions. That was back when they were trying to get better footholds in worldwide markets like Towards the Future was the first attempt to do. Which eventually led to the Dubs on Fox Kids.
But again, we might see something more in the future. There have been rumblings of trying to get stronger footing on the world stage as the character has grown into an even more of an icon and is getting more wider audience awareness thanks to various outlets and new media.
Do keep in mind Tsuburaya has bad history with "licensed out" stuff, so they tend to want to keep Ultraman himself protected to prevent the mess they just got out of.
