A painted figure of Ultraman Taro in the red and silver costume, standing on a circular base, the fists raised and the colour timer set in a studded chest protector.
The Piece
Ultraman Taro arrived on Japanese television in 1973 as the sixth Ultra in Tsuburaya Productions' long series, sent to Earth with a red body, a silver mask and a distinctive pair of horns. The form has been modelled many times since, in vinyl and in painted resin, for the collectors who keep the show's characters on the shelf.
This figure follows that familiar stance: feet apart on a round base, fists closed at the waist, the head turned slightly forward. The body is a saturated red with a silver midsection and a silver mask. A studded pectoral plate carries a blue colour timer at its centre. The mask has a small green stone at the brow, upswept horns and a central crest. The base is a grey disc with a raised, dripping rim in a darker silver.
No maker's mark is present on the piece, and it is offered here as unattributed. The paint is applied over a hard figure, with a modest sheen on the red and a flatter tone on the silver. It is a display piece made for a cabinet rather than for play, and it stands steadily on its own base.
