The third product in the" Ultraman Geed" replica series, "ULTRA ZERO EYE NEO," will be released with significantly upgraded specifications!

*The image is of a product under development and may differ slightly from the actual product.


◆Concept
This product is positioned as an" ULTRA REPLICA" from the "Ultraman Geed" series, and is of course an item necessary to combine and link with the "ULTRA REPLICA Geed-Riser" to transform into "Ultraman Zero Beyond."

However, at the same time, the "ULTRA ZERO EYE NEO" itself is also the "Ultraman Zero 's transformation item" in the play.

this time, Points that were particularly important when developing the replica ULTRA ZERO EYE NEO This is just for those who didn't preorder the replica Z-Riser, or simply for those who just love Ultraman Zero! "Z-Riser peripheral items" Instead,
The specifications have been carefully considered and completed with the concept of "It can be enjoyed as a transformation item for Ultraman Zero!"​


I would like to introduce to you the points that have been updated based on this concept.


◆ Update point 1: Modeling



First of all, the appearance. In this blog, we will clearly explain the updates compared to the original "DX ULTRA ZERO EYE NEO".

First of all, the exterior parts are newly sculpted!!

This is the original product



And here is the actual product! (hereafter referred to as the replica version)



*Some parts, such as the clear orange lens and some internal parts, have been reused from the original product.



First, the front! The forehead section, which was integrated with the Zero Eye body on the original model, has been made into a separate part and updated to a clear part!




In addition, the "speaker hole" on the front forehead part, which had become a victim of design issues, has been removed and moved to the back!




The speaker hole has been moved to the back. Again, the shape of the speaker hole has been designed to match the shape of the prop, making the toy's design as inconspicuous as possible.

This has significantly improved the appearance from the front! In addition, while the original product emits sound from the front of the forehead, the speaker on this product has been moved to the person you are pretending to be, allowing you to enjoy a NARIKIRI realistic NARIKIRI play experience!


And the back! This has been updated to be even easier to understand! We've redesigned the structure itself, moved the power button to the inside of the device, and eliminated toy-like features such as battery labels, switches, and screw holes!




In addition, it has a fully painted finish, including the back, which is painted silver! This is a specification that was also used in the "DX ULTRA ZERO EYE NEO Special ver.", which was previously sold by lottery.


However, in the replica version, the inside of the pattern on the back is also painted gunmetal color one by one! It's a further upgrade.


*The image is of a painted prototype, so it is not included in the image, but in reality the gunmetal part will be embossed to further improve the amount of detail in the design.


The Ultra Capsules "New Generation Capsules α and β" that come with this product have also been upgraded to replica versions that do not have the same toy-like design as Related products!





◆Update point 2: Equipped with the first light-up gimmick!


※The image is an image

At the time, the DX ULTRA ZERO EYE NEO was only equipped with a voice unit and had a "sound" only specification. That alone was an attractive product, but time has passed and now it is 2024...
Thanks to advances in technology, we've been able to add three new LED units without changing the size of the exterior! We 've finally succeeded in creating ULTRA ZERO EYE NEO that both lights up and sounds!

When linked with the item's voice button, the forehead and left and right lenses will light up.



In terms of the light emission pattern, we are considering making the "forehead" a simple light emission pattern, and for the "lens" part we are considering a more elaborate structure that makes use of the light reflection inside the clear parts along the edge of the lens.

We hope to be able to introduce this to you once the latest prototype is ready in time! Please look forward to it!


◆Update point 3: Completely new audio content!



The gameplay itself is simple- short press of the voice button to speak,and long press to transform -making it easy to play.


However, for the replica version, we are considering a voice program that will enable the reproduction of transformation patterns that match various scenes in the movie.


For example, in episode 6, Geed's first transformation scene occurs when he forcibly borrows Igarashi Reito's body to transform. By briefly pressing the button to hear the dialogue, and then holding it down, you can hear Reito's confused voice screaming, "Waaaaahhh!" as he transforms. We also plan to include transformation sequences that will allow you to relive scenes from the series, such as transformation scenes that correspond to memorable episodes or dialogue that plays after the transformation.



◆Update point 4 ULTRA REPLICA Z-Riser!



And don't forget, it works with the "ULTRA REPLICA Z-Riser"!


If you compare the appearance with the original product, it looks something like this!


*Both replica versions are photographed as painted prototypes and may differ slightly from the final product.


The previously introduced ULTRA ZERO EYE NEO and the updated points of the Z-Riser itself work together to create a design that is closer to the impression seen in the movie.


The transformation sequence after putting on ULTRA ZERO EYE NEO also matches the transformation sequence of this replica version, and the program on the Z-Riser has been updated so that the sound plays at a time closer to what's in the movie, so we hope that those who have pre-ordered the replica version of the Z-Riser look forward to it!


◆Update point 5: The dedicated support pillars are also newly sculpted!



Some of the base parts are also newly sculpted! ULTRA ZERO EYE NEO cannot stand on its own due to its design, and if it is leaned against something, it will slip and fall over, so we designed a new support part, creating a Zero Eye NEO that can be enjoyed even when displayed!

The color of the pedestal is black, as is the case for the entire series, and we are currently considering whether to make the support part clear as is the case for the entire series, or to make it black to make Zero Eye NEO stand out more. On the reservation page, the pedestal is currently black with a transparent support.


So, we have introduced the "ULTRA REPLICA ULTRA ZERO EYE NEO" in five update points! Finally, here is Contents of this product!



That's it for this blog!

"It has a new exterior design, three LEDs, and a new sound system, so you can enjoy it as a decoration!"
Pre-orders for ULTRA ZERO EYE NEO, which has been updated to maximize its appeal, are now open starting today!
This product is made to order and requires a reservation, so please don't miss this opportunity to get your hands on one.






Well, everyone, see you again soon!





There is no limit to me!
