Ultra-Act

Unfortunately I missed the order window for Jonais without thinking

But on the topic of Leo and Astra, I love my Leo and while I'd welcome a V2 I think the V1 is just fine. Don't have an Astra yet so I'd definitely be down for a V2 there, just so I don't have to pay 10,000+ yen for him

all this talk on Ultraman 80 and the thougjt of him having a tpy makes me drool. and while they are at it. Make Yulian. she has got to be the most unique Ultrawoman design out there.

I'm with you, Den-O, I like Leo just the way he is. Even if they did a renewal, I would pass him up. He's just very dynamic and looks ready to kick some kaiju butt.

And HEAR HEAR on Yulian!

Den-O · 08-30-2013, 10:39 PM

Yulian and 80 would both be sweet. But thanks to recent exposures to some other newer series I'd really like to see Cosmos, Reimon & Burst Mode, Saga, The Next, Nexus Anphans, and some of Mebius' other forms.

Does anyone know if Leo and Astra wear the brothers' mantle?

It's just that I recently saw this image:

EDIT: I can already cross off one of my wishlist, in The Kaiju Planet show that inside the information from Tamashii's page of Zero mentions that the renewal version of Leo arrive in 2014

Preorders for Zero v.2 are up, along with the reissues of Father of Ultra and Glenfire. I snagged a Zero, passed on the other two... not because I didn't want them but mostly because if I buy Glenfire, I'll have to buy the rest of the team, and if I buy Father, I'll have to buy ALL the Showa Ultras!

And my wallet cannot tolerate that!

As of this post all three are still showing available.

So is it true?!?!?!?!?
Bluefin has acquired the rights to import/distribute SHOWA ultra-acts?!?!?!?

Orbital Frame · 09-03-2013, 01:13 PM

Yes and Bluefin will start with the Father of Ultra in January at a price of $48.99, the other Showa Ultras hopefully arrive soon and their prices will have to stabilize.

In AmiAmi Zero lasted 8 hours the first time and this second time around has lasted much longer.

Anyone have details as to what happened behind the scenes? Wasn't there a property tie down with some Thai film company? Or was that for Asia only?
