Produced at a smaller scale and with less detail than previous Ultra figures, Ultra Hero 500 -- and the subsequent Ultraman X Ultra Hero X line -- disappointed many longtime fans and collectors. Bandai is now appealing to those fans with the new Ultra BIG series of higher-quality 9 inch Ultraman characters. Ultra BIG Soft Vinyl Ultraman/ ?????????? ??????
