ISUZU ALL STAR HERO FESTIVAL 2007 in Bangkok

Our friend Dhiti Chantravekin provided The Lost Kaiju with an update on the ISUZU ALL STAR HERO FESTIVAL. Here's the scoop...

ISUZU ALL STAR HERO FESTIVAL 2007 in Bangkok
The show was not as crowded as I had expected, and I would rather call it a display than a show. Why? Because I didn’t see any people in Ultraman suits on the stage. Instead, what I saw are live-size Ultraman figures made from fiberglass put on displays. Not so many people attended the show, maybe because it’s Sunday evening. Nevertheless, I am glad that I was at the show to get the first glimpse of “Project Ultraman”, the new Ultraman TV series made by a Thai Production House named “Chaiyo Productions”. From what I saw on the VCR, the movie is quite good and is on par with the new Japanese Ultraman series. Chaiyo Productions has put a lot of effort in making this movie which were taken in great locations like a Tibetan temple and plateau and the Gobi desert. As with the modern Ultraman series, this movie has a lot of Computer Graphic, but Chaiyo has done a good job on this. The series features Ultraman Elite (portrayed by the famous Hong Kong actor “Ekin Cheng” from “The Storm Riders” movie http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ekin_Cheng ), Ultraman Millennium and Dark Ultraman. All are designed by Chaiyo Productions, however, unlike Tiga, Dyna, Cosmos and Gaia, the Thai Ultraman are still based on the M78 nebula, so you will also see Ultra Mother and other Ultraman in this series as well.
