■CCP Japan 1/6 Tokusatsu Series Ultraman (B Type) Spacium Beam Tokyo Night Battle Ver. With LED Light-Up Gimmick (1/6特撮シリーズ ウルトラマン (Bタイプ) スペシウム光線 東京夜間戦闘Ver. LED発光ギミック付き, 1/6 Tokusatsu Shirīzu Urutoraman (Bī Taipu) Supeshiumu Kōsen Tōkyō Yakan Sentō Ver. Reddo Hakkō Gimikku-Tsuki)

This Ultraman (B Type) figure is inspired on the nighttime battle with Alien Zarab from ULTRAMAN Episode 18: BROTHER FROM ANOTHER PLANET (遊星から来た兄弟, Yūsei Kara Kita Kyōdai). This sequence was recreated in the hit movie SHIN ULTRAMAN (シン・ウルトラマン, Shin Urutoraman, 2022).
Ultraman is in his classic Spacium Beam pose, ready to fire his main weapon at his foe. The sculpture is based on the "B Type" Ultraman suit used in the Episodes 14-29 of the series, which many fans consider the best of the three suits from the show. Compared to the earlier "A Type," the B Type has a smoother face with no wrinkles, a more massive upper body, and pointed shoes.
One of the most notable features of this figure is its coloring. In order to recreate the look seen nighttime battle scenes, a bluish color is layered over the entire body. Shadow gradations have been added throughout to enhance the darker color scheme. In addition, a special colored gloss has been applied to the surface to recreate the reflection of moonlight on Ultraman's body.
The Ultraman figure also has a built-in LED light-up gimmick that can be turned on by pressing the switch on his abdomen. The figure's eyes cast a faint glow, which has been achieved by painting the eyes from the inside, and the light of the Color Timer on his chest changes from blue to flashing red.

About CCPJAPAN
CCPJAPAN's Unique Realism with Soft Vinyl
Soft vinyl is a half-century old technique in Japan. It is a hollow molded product obtained by polymerizing vinyl chloride monomer by pouring it into a mold and heating it, and the doll made through this process is called soft vinyl.
Hollow, lightweight, and unbreakable are the greatest characteristics of soft vinyl. The production speed is fast, and the cost of molds is inexpensive, making it a molding method that can produce a relatively small number of products for a small number of needs.
CCP has continued to produce works of manga, anime, and special effects, representative of Japanese POP culture, under the theme of “preserving them for posterity as three-dimensional materials. CCPJAPAN has continued to produce works based on the theme of “preserving Japanese pop culture, manga, anime, and special effects works as three-dimensional materials for posterity. Compared to fragile ceramics, CCPJAPAN produces mainly soft vinyl works that will last for hundreds or even thousands of years.
About 20 years ago, CCPJAPAN established a method of expressing realistic details and molding techniques for soft vinyl, and through its advanced coloring techniques, CCPJAPAN's works aim for greater realism. We hope you will experience the realism and unique sensibility of CCPJAPAN through our works.
