Official Site: b-boys.jp/ultra_hero500 (Japan) In conjunction with the July 2013 debut of Tsuburaya Productions` ULTRAMAN GINGA (?????????, Urutoraman Ginga) television series, Bandai launched a new wave of collectibles under the "Ultra Hero 500" brand. Based on the Spark Dolls concept of GINGA, which had Ultramen and monsters transformed into toys by a mysterious force, the 500 line primarily focused on PVC (soft vinyl) figures with an average height of 14cm (5.5 inches). There was also a set of Gashopon (capsule) figures, larger DX monsters, and characters from the GIANT MONSTER RUSH: ULTRA FRONTIER card game and computer animated shorts. In 2015, Bandai rebooted the toy line yet again as “Ultraman X Ultra Hero X” to tie-in with the latest Ultra show, ULTRAMAN X (???????, Urutoraman Ekkusu, 2015). Note: English names for Ultramen and monsters taken from Bandai and Tsuburaya Pro materials.
