Ultraman 80: Ultra Replica Bright Stick 45th Anniversary Ver. Official Images Revealed

Premium Bandai has unveiled the Ultra Replica Bright Stick 45th Anniversary Ver. from the Ultraman 80 series. 

To celebrate Ultraman 80's 45th anniversary, the Ultra Replica Bright Stick finally gets a re-release with some updates. One of those updates is a new sound button, which was not possible in the original Ultra Replica version due to space constraints. With this update, you can now use a variety of sound operations such as special sound effects before transformation, shouts after transformation, and special move sounds. The arm swing sound during transformation has also been revamped so that it will play each time you press the button. By pressing the buttons according to movement, you can recreate the transformation sequence close to the one seen in the series. 

More sounds were also added, such as special move sounds, sound effects in the series, and monster cries. In addition to the transformation sequence, it is now possible to play the sound effects before the transformation and battle play after transformation. The BGM includes two theme songs, namely "Ultraman 80" and "Ganbare Ultraman 80". Together with "Here comes Ultraman 80" that plays during the transformation, a total of three songs are included. 

Lastly, the item comes with a special stand and attachment parts. This Premium Bandai web exclusive item cost 11,000 yen, and is set for a September release. Pre-orders will end on May 26th.
