Hello everyone!
This is M-chan, in charge of Ultraman toy development!
Today, we are accepting pre-orders exclusively on PREMIUM BANDAI until 11pm on Wednesday, March 13th.
Introducing "Glowing!! Sounding!! Spiral Parade"!
The popular special move "Spiral Valley" from "Ultraman Blazar"
I can't believe it's now made into a 3D figure!!
Amazingly, the technique itself has become a toy...!
Regarding upgrades from the Chinese version
I will explain it in this blog!
As the reservation deadline is approaching,
If you are considering purchasing, please read this!
[Point 1: A complete look at the Spiral Valley activation scene!!]
This spiral valley is
"Ultraman Blazar" TV series, all 25 episodes
All Spiral Valley activation scenes
Recorded with audio!!!
In other words,
There are 13 patterns in total.
You can enjoy the Spiral Valley activation sequence!!!
It became a hot topic
You can also recreate and play "lure bait fishing" and "crane bait fishing"!!
<How to play>
Press and hold the button on the side of the device to select the number of episodes
→ The monster's roar that corresponds to the episode number will be heard.
Press the button on the side of the device to activate a special move.
→The sound of the Spiral Valley activation sequence for each episode will be played.
+ Ultraman Blazar 's shouts and monster roars are also heard
Depending on the number of episodes, in order to increase the sense of immersion,
The audio for one sequence is recorded in several parts.
for example···
Spiral Valley's first appearance!
Episode 1: The Battle of Bazanga
Press and hold to select episode 1 → Bazanga's cry
First short press → Spiral Barade activation ~ Sound until stance is set
(If you wait like this, the Bazanga will automatically make a surprised cry.)
Press the button twice to hear the sound of the Spiral Ballad being thrown and exploding.
You can play the sound with your own movements and follow the flow of the battle!
In addition, it is not a reproduction of a specific scene,
The basic Spiral Barade activation sound is also included!
With plenty of recorded audio,
In your favorite scene or situation,
I think it's a product that allows you to enjoy NARIKIRI playing!
[Point 2: Recreates the mysterious appearance!]
In order to recreate the unique look of the Spiral Valley,
① Pearly texture of the body
② Red and light blue spiral paint
3. A dim light
We are developing our products with a focus on these three points!
↑This is a sample image under development.
Before we get to the exterior, a few words of explanation…
This product was originally designed to be released in both Japan and China at the same time.
The development was carried out in parallel.
After confirmation by both parties, we use a common mold,
The Japanese version is designed to please core fans of "Ultraman Blazar."
We are now geared towards adult specifications.
As I mentioned earlier, the program update using the audio from the movie will also be available.
This is a change that has been made because we have shifted our focus to adults.
We've also updated the exterior!
It will take some time for the PB version to arrive,
We have also updated the specifications accordingly, so we hope you will look forward to it!
…Going back to the appearance of this product,
① Pearly texture of the body
② Red and light blue spiral paint
The Chinese version also has a beautiful white pearlescent paint and red and light blue clear paint.
It recreates the mysterious, transparent look of the Spiral Valley.
However, even after the Chinese version was released, I wondered if there was a better way to reproduce it...
After much prototyping, our latest sample looks like this!
There is a slight difference, but
An update to make the color boundary between the tip and main body parts less noticeable,
We have made subtle adjustments to the pearly finish of the main body parts.
(The Chinese version has a slightly purple-pinkish gloss with a polarized look,
The PB version has a stronger glossy whitish sheen.)
This ensures a uniform shine from the body to the tip!
However, it is difficult to adjust the pearly finish.
If it is too thin, the internal structure will be visible.
If you make it too strong, it will lose transparency and it will no longer look like a "spear of light"...
We have put a lot of effort into making it look as mysterious as possible!
Also, regarding the red and light blue paint on the sides,
The Chinese version used clear paint on both (although it looked very nice too!).
For the PB version, we used clear red and metallic light blue paint!
I can't imagine a paint job with alternating clear and metallic finishes.
I was also hesitant until the sample was posted, but as soon as I saw it, I made an instant decision!
The mix of transparency and glittering
I think I've been able to recreate the shimmering red and light blue lines!
① A dim light
Speaking of Spiral Valley! In order to reproduce the light,
This product is equipped with two LEDs.
For more details, please check out the video below (from 8:03)!
The way the light gets stronger and weaker in sync with the sound of the technique is just like the image of a Spiral Ballad!
Even if you play in the dark, you'll probably have fun as it will remind you of night-time battle scenes!
Also, the size of this product is one of its main points.
With a total length of 60cm, it exceeds the "DX Chilsonite Sword" (total length approximately 50cm)!
I think it's the right size for an adult to carry as well.
...So we've packed in a variety of details.
Have we conveyed the appeal of this product?
Today we introduced
"Shining!! Ringing!! Spiral Parade"
