Ultraman Vs Kaiju 30cm Diorama Statue
XM Studios is excited to present our third Ultraman release, the Ultraman Vs Kaiju diorama!
Concept:
頑張れ！ウルトラマン！
Gannbare, Ultraman!
Earth, which was once peaceful, is invaded by an army of kaiju as they emerge from the ground - leaving a trail of destruction and flames.
In a seemingly hopeless plight, comes a protector from the Land of Light. Ultraman faces his nemeses head-on as he stands firm protecting the city, including a diminutive ally. The fate of Earth lies with Ultraman as he prepares to fire Specium Beam.
He is not alone in this fight; the SSSP is with him.
You can do it, Ultraman!
Background:
Ultraman Vs Kaiju is envisioned and conceptualized by XM Team together with 2D artist Matt Frank, showcasing Ultraman facing off notable kaiju in a final war scene. The concept was brought to life with Yoshiki Fujimoto*, who is the 3D artist for Ultraman, and Kenichi Tanaka**, who is the 3D artist for kaiju and base. XM’s interpretation stays true to the concept behind suitmation. Each painstakingly handcrafted statue is individually hand-painted with the famous XM quality finish, and comes in a bold, dynamic, and story-laden style.
*Fujimoto Sensei is also the 3D artist for XM’s Ultraman (C-Type) Statue and Ultraman (C-Type) Bust Statue
