We present the second half of the roundtable discussion commemorating the release of the animation and the release of S.H.Figuarts. This time, we asked them to talk about the future prospects of the "S.H.Figuarts ULTRAMAN" series!

座 Round-table talk [prequel] is here!

■ S.H.Figuarts ULTRAMAN Series

――Including "ULTRA-ACT x SHFiguarts", the lineup has already become quite large.

Shimizu:They are proliferating around my desk. Now I am making room for "S.H.Figuarts ULTRAMAN-the Animation-" and "ULTRAMAN SUIT ver7 -the Animation-".

澗 淵:It is unusual for products to be lined up like this.

――“ ULTRAMAN” will be released in August, and “ULTRAMAN SUIT ver7” will be released in September.

Shimizu:Seven is cool, isn't it?

Mitsuoka:Thank you very much. From the exhibit at "TAMASHII NATION 2018", I am brushing up further including movable.

Shimizu:It is completely different from the comic version, too.

Lower mouth:I see. surely.

Shimizu:After all this balance is good.

澗 淵:The "feeling of people" is overwhelmingly this person. Since the animation itself is adapted to the proportions of people, I asked SHFiguarts to change accordingly.

Lower mouth:ah I see. Mr. Tatsumi, do you enjoy supervision?

澗 淵:Is this series really a little bit? Half? No, I have a good hobby (laughs). After all Mitsuoka-san will develop quite a bit (laughs).

Mitsuoka:The mask details have also been reproduced to the limit that can be achieved with this size.

澗 淵:I'm putting the details to a more detailed point as data, though.

Shimizu:This is enough. The 3D data has numerous fine gears for deployment on the back of the head, but that is not the case.

Lower mouth:Is Seven sold in general distribution?

Mitsuoka:yes. ULTRAMAN and ULTRAMAN SUIT ver7 will be released at general stores in August and September, respectively.

-Do you have any characters that you would like to see in 3D?

澗 淵:I'm looking forward to Jack as it has a volume. Before I appeared, I heard that Shimizu-san set up the volume type, so I was very excited. Still, because it has not been three-dimensional from anywhere, I want to see quickly!

Shimizu:Jack wants you as soon as possible.

Lower mouth:Oh (usually by drawing) moving it is a great task. The ace is so cute, really. Easy to draw, easy to draw!

Shimizu:Jack hasn't shown all his weapons yet. As Ultraman to appear, it's up to ASTRA, so I'd be happy if Leo and ASTRA also appeared. After all I just want to line up a lot of series.

Lower mouth:If it's already arranged, it's ed!

Shimizu:If it is among the main characters, I would like to have something like Adado. Well, red is fine if it's fine (laughs). It is good with children red.

Lower mouth:It is appreciated that you have already made it to this point before you animate.

Shimizu:At first I thought that "Jinjiro man" was just the end.

Lower mouth:We had you commercialize it to Bemler! Now I touched Bemler after a long time, but it is still cool.

Shimizu:I heard that Bemler knew what he was, and that many regretted without buying it. Do you offer animated version of Bemler?

Mitsuoka:I want to do it by all means.

澗 淵:If everyone buys it, it's also possible that the plan goes through (laughs).

--- I hope for the coming series. Thank you for today.
