Hi Paul, here are some pictures from my archive which may be of interest to the blog. They are of lifting body inspired craft from two Ultraman series. Photos 4 and 5 are of the Mini VTOL from the 1966 Ultraman series. Of the two main craft in the series this was my favorite. I'm constanly looking for more versions to add to my collection. Photo 6 is of my entire mecha and prop toy collection from the 1966 Ultraman series. The second and third photos are the GUTS Eagle Alpha from the 1997 series Ultraman Dyna. It's the first component of the three part GUTS Eagle. GUTS stands for Global Unlimited Task Squad. Photo 1 shows how the Eagle in its fully combined form. Enjoy.
Best,
Rocket Punch

I don't collect Ultraman as such, but if I see a great SF vehicle I have to have it, so in the past few years I've managed to get a few Ultraman mecha such as the Ultraman Nexus Chrome Chester Alpha and Beta ships. Pics here http://www.toysnjoys.com/ultramannexus.html. I also have the Ultra Galaxy Space Pendragon.

Bandai make all these toys. They come out with new ones for each new Ultraman series just about every year. And of course they make the Super Sentai toys (Power rangers over here). They actually make more toys for these series than those that get to the US and Europe. And Bandai do Gashapon /Candy Toys of all these things too. Have a look here for the sort of things they've brought out in the past- http://www.megazord.net/

All the best, Yorkie.

I do love my fleet. The SSSP that you see printed on the display stands is the abbreviation for Science Special Search Party. In the dubbed version this organization was referred to as the Science Patrol.
