Made in collaboration with Tsuburaya Productions, Marvel’s venture into the Ultraman mythos began in 2020’s The Rise of Ultraman, which delivered a bold reimagining of the pop culture icon’s classic origin. Ultraman’s Marvel adventures continued in The Trials of Ultraman, Ultraman: The Mystery of Ultraseven, and last year’s Ultraman X the Avengers, where Japan’s greatest super hero finally crossed over with the heroes of the Marvel Universe!

Exhibitor Spotlight from Toy Fair 2025: Bandai Namco Part One

March 10, 2025 Ken Pierce Leave a comment

Good early morning to you all my dear readers and welcome back to the expansive and in-depth coverage from the recently completed Toy Association Toy Fair. If you’re only just now joining us please know that for about a week now I’ve been sharing the discoveries at all of the exhibitor booths that we paid a visit to. I’m up to one of my favorites and will be bringing you into the pavilion that was being maintained by the folks from Bandai Namco.

What I like about Bandai Namco is that they bring a lot of the amazing creations from Japan over to our shores and they now have a US Presence. We often see them at events like the New York Comic Con and the Anime NYC but meeting with them at Toy Fair let’s me peruse all the items that are to come. I’m not planning on doing much talking in this one and instead will break the sections down and let you enjoy.

Their massive supply of Godzilla offerings really appealed to me as I’m pretty much a lifelong fan of the famed monster. From these you will see some larger and smaller figures and a number of blind boxes. Personally I lean towards the figures that are about 6″ in height and wish I had the funds to collect them all. There are a LOT of these figures.

Scenes From New York Comic Con 2024: Day One Part Two

So as previously mentioned in my Day One, Part One post, the New York Comic Con for 2024 had taken over what appeared to be the entire Javits Center. Now this is usually the case with this convention but with the expansion of the space a few years ago it just seems even more massive. I’m going to continue along with the day to day observations both visually and with the occasional editorial and if this interests you I’d suggest that you first click NYCC 2024 to launch a brand-new browser tab in order to see all of the New York Comic Con posts from this year in one handy space. My Day One adventuring continues along with a game about Boba. I’m not too up on this outside of Boba Tea but this looked cute.
