M1-Go Koriyama Ultraman Vs Baltan Set




From the Koriyama City of Museum Art comes this fantastic set by M1-Go.
One of my favorite pieces from M1-Go. The set comes with a clear Ultraman and Baltan that is made of see-through vinyl and stuffed with what looks like colored pipe cleaners! I've seen some vintage Bullmark figures done in this manner.
The set is limited to 100 pieces, and if you were lucky enough to be at the museum on July 14 you could have met up with Toshihiro Iizima director of the Ultra episodes, Susumu Kurobe (Hayata) and Hiroko Sakurai (Akiko Fuji) all from the original Ultraman TV show.
The set comes with a green wooden base autographed by all three stars! A brochure of the exhibition was also included.

M1-Go Vira Seijin





M1-Go Vira Seijin an UltraSeven Foe. I recently acquired this figure from one of my favorite toy companies M1-Go. There are several variations of this figure which include some glow and a gold lottery version. I believe it was initially released as a lucky bag and then reintroduced as part of the Battle Royal set from M1.
Pictured here is the orange version. Vira Seijin's head amazingly rotates, as well as his legs and at the base. To me Vira Seijin resembles a happy face-hugger from the Alien movies. But remember these shows pre-dated the Alien movies, which goes to prove that these Ultrashows were way ahead of their time. The M1 Vira Seijin is around eight-nine inches tall, standard size. Again a thank-you to Martin for his contributions of Shonen Weekly!
