What is on the Ultraman shelf

This is the Ultraman end of the floor, where the Banpresto figures for the licence are gathered. Every piece here comes out of the Vibration Stars line, so the sculpting language stays consistent from one figure to the next.

The shelf spans $21 to $35. Ultraman Belial Gokai sits at the top of it and Ultraman Dyna -Aoki Kiseki no Hikari- (ver. B), Hero's Brave at the bottom, which is the usual distance between a compact prize piece and a tall display sculpt. Listed heights start around 5.9 in and reach 9.8 in.

By count this is the 33rd shelf in the hall; the deepest is One Piece with 176 collectable figures on it, and the balance between them is simply how many waves Banpresto has run for each licence.

Banpresto figures on this shelf, line by line

Banpresto splits its output into lines, and this shelf draws on 1 of them. The count beside each one is how many Ultraman figures we currently track in it.

  • Vibration Stars — 1 figure on this shelf

Dragon Ball is the licence Banpresto has run longest, and the Dragon Ball shelf holds 115 figures against 10 here. If the brand is new to you, a Dragon Ball piece is the cheapest way to learn what a Banpresto sculpt feels like in the hand before you commit to a Ultraman one.

How long these stay available

None of these are open editions. Banpresto makes a run, ships it to arcade operators and retailers, and moves on to the next wave. What sits on this shelf is what is still circulating, which is why the same sculpt can be ordinary one month and awkward to find the next.

  • No fresh wave announced for the series in over a year
  • Only third-party sellers left holding the listing
  • A price that drifts upward week to week instead of down

What owners report

Scores on the Ultraman figures here average about 4.6 out of five across the listings they came from. Reviews quoted on a figure's own page are reproduced word for word, so read a couple before you commit. What comes up again and again:

  • Face printing — photographed proudly when it lands, and the first thing flagged when it does not
  • The moulded base, which clips rather than screws
  • The outer box, which travels better than people expect
