Agreed, Web Exclusives will be a big question mark which we will have to play The Waiting Game with. The ones I would have to really think might make the cut (as of the upcoming web exclusive items right now) would be Jonias and Mother of Ultra. Jonias at least had some tiny, itsy-bitsy US presence as the anime movie was dubbed into English and released on video. And if you are going to release Father of Ultra, then releasing Mother would follow. Of course this is pure speculation on my part.

Well, that and wishful thinking when it comes to Jonias, because if I could get him through Amazon or something I would do it in a heartbeat.

Baltan, have you heard any rumors or anything about Chaiyo licensing the other Ultra shows for DVD release in the US? A Malay DVD set of Return of Ultraman has turned up online in the last few weeks, which got me thinking about the possibility of seeing Return, Ace, or Taro released via an outfit like Shout Factory. Although with their recent cancellations, I don't know how viable releases like that would be -- I have no idea how sales of the two Shout Ultra sets are doing relative to releases like VR Troopers or BBB.
