Winckler was on another podcast last week:
http://thezodwritershow.com/the-zodwrit ... -ultraman/It covers a lot of the same ground as the Kaiju Kingdom interview, but a few new tidbits. He mentions Bandai, that they sell toys, that the primary audience is kids, they want to reach the widest possible audience, power rangers wouldn't have been a hit if it was subtitled, there wouldn't be a power rangers aisle in every toys r us, etc, etc. I know it seems like a longshot, it seems insane to me, but I think Bandai will be pushing Ultraman toys in North America.
He has Ultraman work booked for the next 8 months. I'm actually wondering if the Max dub is someone else and Winckler is concentrating on new stuff?
He mentioned one of the projects has a woman singing and playing guitar and he may have to change the music, than immediately realized that fans would figure out what movie that is (this is a scene in Ultraman Saga)
He is friends with Corinne Orr (original English voice for Fuji) and is trying to get her in one of the new dubs.
They considered having actors dressed as Ultraman to do a meet and greet for kids at the screenings, but it was cost-prohibitive. They are considering it for future events. Tsubaraya has to ship the whole costume in a big crate, so it's complicated.
He reconfirmed Blu rays and DVDs are coming, but can't say when.
