how about Ultra 7:D

AH-HA! I already have Seven :D

That reminds me, it seems like I'd seen pictures somewhere of new Ultra Act versions of Ultra Seven and Hayata (although the latter might've just been the first version with a different cape on).

I have the Ultraman Hayata, Seven, Zero, Belial, Baltan 6, Leo, Glenfire, and Jeanbot (tomorrow!).

Alright guys it's time to convert an Ultraman newbie :o

I've seen some epicly cool Ultra-Act pictures recently and I want an entry way into the toyline. I'm gonna have to buy Gridman when he comes out for some good old Samurai Syber Squad love. But I've been eyeing a few others like Glen Fire, Jean-Bot, and Mirror Knight. I don't really like Ultraman designs in general but these 3 look just fantastic to me.

Any chance I could be pointed to a series that won't blow my mind with how confusing it is?

I'm biased, but I would go with the original Ultraman series. It's still a good stepping stone to get into the whole dynamic of the Ultraman universe without complete confusion. It also has the charm of being the first, and establishes a lot of the favorite monsters and aliens that show up in later series and movies.

I got back to Ultramam after 15 years cause of this movie http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega_Mo...:_Ultra_Galaxy

Yeah, go with the Ultra Galaxy movie. It's the perfect gateway drug for the modern fan.

Also, Glenfire's one of the best, if not arguably the best Ultra Act right now, for one major reason. He has a really solid plastic build. Some of the older Ultra Acts were (intentionally?) made with a plastic that made them feel like vinyl. It's a nice touch but if you're not into Ultraman's vinyl history, it won't win points with you. But Glenfire feels like he's made of the same stuff as Kamen Riders.

yea Bandai really improved the material for Glenfire, my Ultraman Hayata cant stand up with his cape on at all without the clear supporter



well...than how about...GAIA!!

That was at Tamashii Nation 2011. All of the classic Ultras, most of which weren't released yet, were all on display there along with new Ultra Brother capes. Whether or not the existing ones will be re-released with them or not is beyond me, since what we see at Bandai shows don't immediately indicate new releases.
