Ultraman Set to Take Over Times Square in New York City

By Josh PiedraMay 31, 2024

For nearly 60 years, the iconic Japanese superhero Ultraman has been fighting Kaiju across the galaxy, but now he is ready to conquer a new location: New York’s Times Square.

To celebrate the upcoming release of Ultraman: Rising, the highly-anticipated latest film in the franchise that is set to make its way onto Netflix on June 14, Tsuburaya Productions is joining with Netflix and Bandai Namco for an action-packed Times Square activation featuring out-of-this-world digital billboards and a massive storefront display featuring a range of Ultraman collectibles at the Tamashii Nations Store right in the heart of the Square.

Created by Japanese special effects director, filmmaker, and cinematographer Eiji Tsuburaya, Ultraman first debuted in 1966 in the television series Ultra Q.  Over the last 58 years, the Ultraman franchise has spawned numerous television series, films, miniseries, and video games, while gathering a dedicated global following.

On June 14, 2024, Ultraman will star in an original animated film premiering on Netflix, Ultraman: Rising. In the film, when Tokyo is threatened by rising monster attacks, an all-star athlete reluctantly returns home to take on the mantle of Ultraman, discovering that his greatest challenge isn’t fighting giant monsters: It’s raising one.

Timed to the film’s release, Bandai Namco will unleash a new must-have Ultraman collectible, the S.H. Figuarts Ultraman for Ultraman: Rising ($35), which will be available at Tamashii Nations in Times Square.

In addition to the Times Square display, fans will also want to check out the additional Ultraman: Rising toy line offerings at Bandai Namco’s first dedicated retail store in the United States, which recently had its grand opening at American Dream Mall in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
