Thanks for sharing, this was an interesting read.

You're welcome I enjoyed that article too.


Anyways I'm watching the original UltraMan series and are the suits of the original monsters the same or did they make new better versions of them? Because Red King and Pigmon looked the same.

I'm fairly certain that the Pigmon and Red King suits were the same for all their appearances in the original series. Although, Red King got re-purposed in-between his first and second appearances and it really shows.

If you're asking whether they're still the same now, I'm afraid the original suits are long gone.

Yeah, they modified Red King a lot and used it for other monsters as well. Of course, there's no way that the old suits are still around now.

Yeah, they have a bad tendency to eventually rot even in good conditions.

That makes me wonder what the process of making these suits is and what materials they use.

I think the main material they used was latex, which is subject to dry rot over time.

Ah well they make excellent duplicates because Red King looks exactly like he did in the newer shows that he did in the first series.

I wonder if they have molds to make copies with like makeup artists.

That would probably save a lot of time for them.
