Well they already released a Figuart of the first Ultraman who battled the Alien Baltan one month ahead of it, you can see the two figures fighting each other in a lot of cool pics in this gallery.

They’re currently releasing all the classic Ultraman heroes and their monsters because it’s Ultraman’s 50th Anniversary this year.

And apparently Ultra monsters sell well enough to continue doing them.
