Ultraman Max - Ultra Hero Series (2016) (18) (Bandai)Ultraman Max · Bandai

Bandai presents Ultraman Max as part of the Ultra Hero Series (2016) toyline, numbered 18 in the series. This figure represents the titular hero from the 2005 Ultraman Max television series in the standard 5.5-inch scale that the line is known for. The Ultra Hero Series was created by Bandai as a successor to the Ultra Hero 500 line, featuring 14cm figures of Ultra Warriors. Each figure originally included a Live Sign stamp on the left foot for compatibility with roleplay items like the DX Ginga Spark, though later releases in the 2016 rebrand removed this feature. Ultraman Max himself is a powerful Ultra from Nebula M78 who comes to Earth to protect it from kaiju threats, known for his calm demeanor and strong sense of justice. The series paid homage to classic Ultraman shows while introducing new elements. The figure stands approximately 140mm tall and is part of Bandai's Ultra Sofubi Series. It was released as part of the 2016 Ultra Hero Series relaunch, which originally retailed at 600 yen before later price revisions.
