The figure is a commemorative release for the TAMASHII NATIONS LIVE ACTION FIGURE EXPO 2026, which runs from July 10 to October 26. Advance sales for CLUB TAMASHII MEMBERS begin at 4:00 PM on May 25 and run through May 27, with a general lottery from May 29 to June 3. The figure is priced at 8,800 yen and is scheduled to ship in July 2026. It was developed under the supervision of Tsuburaya Productions' modeling department LSS, with proportions and details based on archival materials from the show. The set includes the main body, ten replacement wrist parts, and a rope-grabbing accessory inspired by a scene featuring Captain Hoshino. The figure can also be displayed alongside the separately sold S.H.Figuarts Ultraman 60th Anniversary Edition to recreate the confrontation from episode 18.","why_it_matters":"This marks the first S.H.Figuarts release of a villain disguise from the original Ultraman series, packaged with a diorama-style accessory that recreates a specific character moment rather than just a battle pose.","published_at":"2026-05-25T03:30:37.000Z","source_count":2,"sources":["Dengeki Hobby Web","Inside"],"citations":[{"source":"Dengeki Hobby Web","title":"Ultraman's Fake Ultraman Disguised by Alien Zarab Joins S.H.Figuarts Line!
