The Japanese toy company Bandai has revealed their soft vinyl and Ultra Action figures from the upcoming movie SHIN ULTRAMAN (シン・ウルトラマン, Shin Urutoraman). The film is a modern take on the original ULTRAMAN (ウルトラマン　空想特撮シリーズ, Urutoraman Kūsō Tokusatsu Shirīzu, 1966-67) television series from writer/producer Hideaki Anno (NEON GENESIS EVANGELION) and director Shinji Higuchi (Gamera Trilogy, ATTACK ON TITAN), the co-directors of the award-winning box office smash SHIN GODZILLA (シン・ゴジラ, Shin Gojira, 2016).
