I loved these Bandai Ultraman vinyls found online, remembering watching reruns of the Japanese sci-fi show as a kid in the '70s! These figures are made of soft vinyl, and simple in their articulation, limited to swivels in the waist and shoulders. What they lack in articulation, they more than make up for in charm. I've been collecting some vinyl figures lately, mostly Funko, but found these irresistable. The eBay seller was selling all kinds of Ultraman vinyls for pretty cheap with free shipping- I gravitated toward these two because of their familiarity. Check out my video....

Good one bro! Glad you like these Ultraman.
ReplyDeleteI have a few of these guys too. I can't resist them when I stumble on to them at the flea market or garage sales.
ReplyDeleteI used to love the Ultraman show that aired here in the early 90's. I actually ended up grabbing a couple of the figures Bandai produced. I think I was a little underwhelmed by them then, but I'd sure love to get my hands on then now.
ReplyDeleteThese two really do look great. Were they meant to be played with, or are they more collector's items?
based on price, i think they were meant to be played with
DeleteThese are just great fun!
ReplyDeleteVery cool. My first thought was that these definitely remind me of the Bandai produced Ultraman I had as a kid. It would seem that others thought the same! Did anyone else have the city playset that you could destroy? It was cheaply made but I remember getting it on clearance at KB toys and I played with that thing like nobody's business.
ReplyDeleteThe flight stands you have look pretty great on these, too!
thanx BBQ17! These are my 1st Ultraman, and I only have a couple other Bandai toys, Ben 10 Armadrillos, I believe. I looked into the set you mentioned, and that may hve been the Clash & Trash City: http://www.virtualtoychest.com/u/ultraman/ultraman.html
DeleteAwesome! I love all the different versions of Ultraman.
