EDIT: And I just noticed this was a double-post, sorry about that guys.
Hoooooooooooooly crap. For Bandai Ultraman vinyls of obscure Heisei characters anyway, this is kind of a big deal. After the glut of movie figures in March, along with Zelganoid, we're getting some more reissues.
- March
- April
- May
- June
Metron might be the "cut in half and resown together" mold from Ultraman Max, or it reuses the other one we've had for years, it's tough to say without pictures. Bogal hasn't been in production for a while, so a release is nice, but...
Alien fricking Slan. Odds are almost none of you own him besides me. Maybe Mike or Godzilla 2000 at most. Alien Slan is from Ultraman Max, a Baltan homage before they decided to use Baltan proper in the series. He is awesome, and more importantly, his mold was a Hyper Hobby magazine exclusive, in a two-pack with Shining If (clear yellow, glittery version of If). This is up there with releasing the Salamandora mold as being a very cool move by Bandai to help collectors out. For a typical alien vinyl, he's a very nice one, and I hope doesn't suffer from being painted like garbage.
