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.","whyItMatters":"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.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe Fake Ultraman figure is the first S.H.Figuarts release tied to the TAMASHII NATIONS LIVE ACTION FIGURE EXPO 2026, a Bandai event focused on live-action tokusatsu properties. The figure's design was supervised by LSS, Tsuburaya Productions' in-house modeling department, which consulted original production materials to match the clear orange eyes, color timer hue, and body linework seen in the 1966 broadcast. The included rope-grabbing accessory is modeled after a scene from episode 18 where Captain Hoshino is suspended by a cable, a moment that has been referenced in merchandise before but never as a figure accessory. The figure is compatible with the previously released Shinkocchou Seihou Ultraman 60th Anniversary Edition, allowing collectors to pose the two figures in the confrontation from the episode. Bandai is handling sales through its CLUB TAMASHII MEMBERS program with a two-day advance window for members, followed by a lottery for all members, and additional post-sales are planned.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Bandai's S.H.Figuarts Fake Ultraman includes a rope-grabbing accessory based on Captain Hoshino's scene, not a weapon or effect part. 8,800 yen, shipping July 2026.","twitterPost":"The Fake Ultraman S.H.Figuarts is a TAMASHII NATIONS LIVE ACTION FIGURE EXPO 2026 exclusive.
