Release Date: April 2026 RRP: 8800 yen It's been nearly ten years since Bandai Tamashii Nations  closed the curtain on the Ultra-Act line and integrated Ultraman into the S.H. Figuarts  line, and in that time they've come pretty close to covering all of the titular heroes from the franchise's 60 year history. With the last few years having yielding the trinity of Tiga , Dyna and Gaia  in the Shinkocchou Seihou series as well as Mebius and   Cosmos  in the standard line, it's clear that the focus at the moment is very much on the Heisei era  - and as such the release of S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Nexus Anphans was the obvious place for them to go next. Nexus' base form comes as a standard retail release, kicking off what has the potential to be a wide number of releases from this unique instalment in the Ultra Series .

2016 has been another big year for the Ultra Series . Just as 2015 celebrated the 50th anniversary of Ultra Q and the franchise as a whole as well as Tsuburaya Productions making the leap into worldwide simulcasting with Ultraman X , 2016 marks the 50th anniversary of the original Ultraman series and the 20th anniversary of Ultraman Tiga (which at the time was the first series in over 15 years). The celebration of these two milestone birthdays and the send-off Ultraman X deserves comes in the form of a feature-length film, entitled Ultraman X the Movie: Here It Comes! Our Ultraman . Although the movie is not available through Crunchyroll like the series, it will however be receiving limited English-dubbed screenings alongside the Ultraman Ginga  movie in the US in 2017.
