New “Ultraman Vinyl Odyssey” Toy Line From Seismic Launches With Fan Favorite Jirahs Monster.
Jirahs and its mighty frill looms large over your collection with a bold and translucent reimagining!
Toronto, July 10th - Ultraman Vinyl Odyssey, a brand new line of premium soft vinyl toys from Seismic, LLC, has been announced in conjunction with Ultraman’s 55th anniversary. The line launches this fall with Jirahs, followed by two additional toys to be announced later this year.
Jirahs stands 9 inches tall and features a mix of metallic and translucent materials to create a striking “light glow” effect. Jirahs is sculpted by Michael Lambert and features header card art by Bill Couture. Each figure will feature unique header card art from an exciting selection of popular artists. Pre-orders have opened now in advance of the fall release, as each figure in the series is a limited edition and will not be re-issued.
“We are incredibly excited to offer brand new, original toys of some of our favorite Ultraman characters from our childhood,” Seismic Chief Creative Officer Alex Rushdy explained. “We grew up with toys in the '80s and '90s that were bright, bold, and unique from what you saw on TV. We are bringing that energy to the world of Ultraman.”
Jirahs, one of Ultraman’s classic adversaries, was famously created by repurposing a Godzilla costume from Toho and adding a wide reptilian frill for its debut in Episode 10 of the original Ultraman series.
Jirahs ships this fall with pre-sale now available (starting July 11th) for $129.99 USD + S&H. Orders can be placed through Ultraman Connection (https://www.ultramanconnection.com/), directly from Seismic Toys (https://www.seismictoys.com/), as well as some of your favorite soft vinyl toy retailers.
