Ultraman
Towering above miniature city skylines, a silver-and-red giant squares off against a rampaging kaiju. That image, born in 1966 when Tsuburaya Productions' first Ultraman series aired, remains one of the most powerful in Japanese popular culture. The franchise was created by Eiji Tsuburaya, the special-effects pioneer whose craft defined the golden age of Japanese monster cinema. It turned his artistry into a heroic formula: colossal beings of light who merge with human hosts to defend Earth. Decades of series followed, each adding new giants and new monsters, with 1996's Ultraman Tiga standing among the most beloved entries thanks to its thoughtful storytelling and its hero's striking ability to switch between combat types.
Collector's Guide
Collectibles
The focus for this franchise is premium statues. Zero Variant offers the Ultimate Article Ultraman Tiga Multi Type statue by MegaHouse in its Battle Image Color Edition:
- A large-format rendition of Tiga in Multi Type, his balanced fighting form
- Battle-inspired colouring that evokes the character in action
- An officially licensed MegaHouse production with the sculptural quality the Ultimate Article line is known for
A statue suits this franchise unusually well. These are characters defined by silhouette, posture and presence, qualities a fixed sculpt captures beautifully.
Why Collectors Love It
Scale is the drama. Every episode builds to a giant hero standing against a giant monster, filmed with the miniature-set craftsmanship Tsuburaya Productions perfected. Collectors respond to pieces that carry that sense of monumental presence onto a shelf. The designs themselves are masterworks of minimalism, clean silver and red bodies with glowing eyes and the famous warning light that signals a hero running out of time, a device that gives every battle real tension. Tiga adds his own appeal: a fan-favourite hero whose type-changing forms and acclaimed series introduced the franchise to a new generation. For many collectors, this is where an appreciation of tokusatsu begins.
