All Ultraman fans, rejoice! Bandai Japan and Tamashii Nations are expanding its S.H. Figuarts line with three new Showa Ultramans. The first is Zoffy (aka Ultraman Zoffy), the commander of the Inter Galactic Defense Force and the second member and leader of the Ultra Brothers. He initially debuted in the final episode of the original Ultraman TV series. Following that is Ultraman Ace from the fifth Ultra series, and Ultraman Taro from the sixth Ultra series.
S.H. Figuarts Zoffy
S.H. Figuarts Zoffy was based on the Zoffy from the original Ultraman TV series. S.H. Figuarts Zoffy comes with a Beta Capsule that divides Hayata and Ultraman, as well as the M87 ray effect.

Figuarts Zoffy set includes the main body, two left replacement wrists, three right replacement wrists, M87 light beam effect, Beta capsule, alternate head for Ultraman, and color timer.
S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Ace
With the assistance of LSS, Tsuburaya Productions’ molding department, S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Ace authentically reproduces the action figure from Ultraman Ace television series. The mask, which has a distinct and enigmatic aura, includes the design during the shooting process, and the objective is that it is asymmetrical. You can fully experience Ace’s pose with various beam techniques thanks to the S.H. Figuarts’ great range of motion. The 150mm S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Ace set includes the main body, two left replacement wrists, three right replacement wrists, and effect parts for the special move. Vertical Guillotine and Metallium Ray are incorporated.
