Here are the logos



Doesn't seem to be a logo for the fifth trademarked title:

I mean. They could be anything, right? Product lines, video games... new TV shows?! Archives could be... another package/clip show to air after R/B? Maybe some kind of streaming service? If there was a worldwide streaming service for Tsuburaya Productions I'd subscribe yesterday. Imagineering? Man, I dunno - a video game for kids where the create their own monsters and Ultras and environments? A line of toys with a similar build 'em dynamic? The Kaiju Step looks like something for little kids. Cute cartoon versions of the monsters? Hey, if they offer a cute Jamilla plush I might just have to own it.

TDG and Darkness Heels sound to my ears like maybe possibly they're shows. You know, I dig that Tsuburaya is doing well and keeping classic tokusatsu effects alive in an exciting way, but at the same time the current shows are so aimed at the younger crowd and have to accomidate all this toyetic material, so it would be fantastic to see Tsuburaya doing something that doesn't have to do that, you know? Darkness Heels doesn't even have 'Ultraman' in the title, but has clawmarks so maybe it's kaiju focused?

One more note: all of these logos are in English! Seems to be the de facto state of things as Tsuburaya wants to broaden the appeal of their stuff worldwide.

Okay, in retrospect 'Darkness Heels' may be kaiju theme footwear.

I'm leaning towards a video game on Darkness Heels

So, TDG stands for Tiga Dyna Gaia... but it's not a show, it's a line of baby and kids cups being sold in China: https://en.tsuburaya-prod.co.jp/news/487

^Interesting!

I have no idea how involved Tsuburaya is in the Chinese market.

China is probably their biggest market at the point, and growing.

I realized after posting that this is a new branding to repurpose existing art that Tsuburaya used in the 90s. I wonder if the other trademarks have a similar purpose.
