It’s the most magical time of the year!
Christmas? No, no, no. It’s Black Friday! A whole WEEK, practically, named after a day, where American history is made by people becoming as destructive as Kaiju as they attempt to get a $30 smart TV. Luckily, you can save yourself from a monstrous shopping trip in less than three minutes by checking out our Ultraman Gift Guide to figure out what YOU should be picking up for your loved ones this holiday season! Let’s get started!
Bandai Namco Vinyls!
This year saw the release of the hit film Ultraman: Rising on Netflix, and Bandai Namco has released a positively GIANT line of figures and toys! Pick up a vinyl sofubi (soft vinyl figure) of the adorable Emi or the mighty Gigantron, or perhaps Ultraman himself! If you want more posable Ultraman figures, consider the 6” hero which comes with its own miniature Emi, or perhaps the titanic 12” figure!
Tamashii Nations S.H.Figuarts!
For the truly discerning collectors with a passion for poseability and quality, the S.H.Figuarts figure line is here for you! Featuring high-quality sculpts, paint quality, and articulation, this line is the gold standard in high-quality collectible figures — and Ultraman: Rising is part of it! Get your Ultraman & Emi set, available now at a new low price! In addition, though they won’t be here until after the holidays, you can pre-order your Ultradad and Mecha-Gigantron figures as well!
Mill Creek Sets!
For fans new and old, almost every single entry in the Ultraman series is now available from Mill Creek Entertainment. Starting with the original Ultra Q and Ultraman series, the collection extends forwards almost 60 years into the future, with the latest release being the critically-acclaimed Ultraman Blazar! Packed full of extras like accompanying movies and booklets featuring series data, it’s a great time to get started collecting them all, or just fill in holes in the collection you or a loved one has already started!
