Ultraman - Chandlar - Ultra Monster Series (2016) (189) (Bandai)Chandlar · Bandai

Bandai's Ultra Monster Series (2016) continues its extensive lineup of soft vinyl kaiju with Chandlar as entry number 189. This figure brings the classic Ultraman monster into the modern era of Bandai's collectible figure line. Chandlar is a prehistoric monster from the original Ultraman series, first appearing in the landmark 1966 show. As one of the many creatures that emerged to threaten Earth during the early days of the Science Patrol, Chandlar represents the tokusatsu tradition of imaginative kaiju design that helped define the Ultra franchise. The Ultra Monster Series preserves these classic creatures alongside newer additions from subsequent Ultra series. The Ultra Monster Series features figures approximately 5.5 inches (14 cm) tall, each with a stamp on the left foot and an informational tag. Standard retail pricing for the line is 700 yen. The series was originally launched as Ultra Monster 500 during Ultraman Ginga in 2013 and was rebranded in 2016, with price revisions reflecting rising material costs over the years.
