Yes, in an episode of Ultraman Ace (1972), the Ultra brothers are captured and drained of their powers. Its a really good two-part episode.

Yup. Not quite a "nails & spear" crucifixition, but chained up to those crosses as part of a plot against Ace.

(I think the "Golgotha" name isn't a coincidence either?)

Ultraman is in-stock at Amazon, BBTS, and probably all the other Bluefin-supplied retailers. Where are you not finding him?

Usually if I'm buying an Ultra Act off Amazon, if Amazon themselves are currently out of stock, I usually look for the sellers that have the "Full filled by Amazon" tag in their description. At least that way Amazon is involved in some way. even then a it's a good idea to check the customer rating they supply and to read a few to see other people experiences with a particular seller.

But just on a side note pay close attention to the price listing. On more than one occasion I've seen something that was waaaaaaaay too good a deal, and they jack up the shipping, which is also listed, so you're basically paying the full price somewhere else.

At the time I wrote that reply, Amazon had a few Ultraman left. Now they don't, but there are some US sellers fulfilled by Amazon with it, Anime King in particular, but expensive. More importantly, that was about clarifying that the reissue you thought we hadn't gotten did in fact happen. I didn't bother to look up a ton of stores, but Gundam Planet, Nakama Toys, Image Anime and Toy Arena have it, while ToyWiz and Entertainment Earth have open preorders. Definitely out there aside from Amazon and BBTS.

Finally got around to opening up Yullian. Others posted pics earlier, so I'll just add that she's even more of an "80 effect set...with bonus Yullian figure!" release than the renewal Astra was for Leo, and that's despite coming with less stuff overall. Part of that's admittedly because she has even fewer unique weapons/attacks than Astra does, but it's still sad and amusing that her non-hand parts are meant for 80 (no Princess Ray?).

That said, since the hands are pretty much the same as 80's or any other Ultra's, she can still use hand-held effect part (Ultra Slash, I think). Since her feet are boots rather than the standard Ultra foot, she can't use the effect for the Moonsault kick.

(It would've been going all out, but I wouldnt' have minded adding replacement arms and effect pieces for both Yullian & 80 for the Power Circle Combo.)

Her and Glitter Tiga will be in a 2 pack set as exclusives of course. But I guess this means Hudra and Dahram will also be 2 packs.
