Ultraman at almost his own screen presence: Bandai's Super Big Scale figure, about 150 cm (59 in) tall, issued as a limited edition for the hero's 30th anniversary.
The Piece
Ultraman first flew on Japanese television in July 1966, created at Eiji Tsuburaya's studio, and the silver and red suit of the first series became the founding image of the giant-hero genre. When the character reached his 30th anniversary in 1996, Bandai issued the Super Big Scale figure: a vinyl Ultraman standing about 150 cm (59.1 in), made in the spirit of the large display figures of the Showa toy era, and large enough to hold a room.
He stands in the classic pose of the first series, arms at his sides and fists clenched. The silver head carries the fin crest and the domed, almond-shaped eyes, set in the calm, faintly smiling face sculpted after the original mask. The red markings sweep over the shoulders and down the legs, and the Colour Timer sits at the centre of the chest, the same warning light that, in the series, begins to flash when his energy on Earth runs short. Up close the vinyl has the slight give and sheen of a large Japanese display figure rather than the hardness of a resin statue.
The Super Big Scale line was never a desk toy. It was built as a presence, for a lobby or a serious collection, and this 30th-anniversary Ultraman remains one of the few official figures to approach the character at something like human height. The photographs are reference images of the model.
