Ultraman is my favorite Japanese character. Period. To me, he is cooler than Godzilla. Ultraman was born in Nebula M78, in the Land of Light. His powers and abilities are extraordinary. When I was a child, every kid I knew, copied his trademark Specium Ray. When monsters were struck by that beautiful bluish beam of light, that usually was their arse... lol.

I can’t tell you how many toys I would pretend were Ultraman. I had silver robots with green heads, 8 inch action figures with red stripes... none of them measuring-up to the real-deal. Today, some lucky kid is running through the house with a fully posable Ultraman action figure! I mean complete with Specium beam and all! Too cool. Look at the articulation. Checkout the detachable props! Heh... with a stop motion camera, I could have created my own episodes! The possibilities are endless.

I went to Japan Town when I was 10 years old. My dad would take me once a month. I had a ton of Japanese action figures. Nothing like this tough.
