Why it matters
The figure puts Yuji Sakai's name on the packaging of a mass-retail Ultraman monster release, which is the anniversary line cashing in its most bankable sculpting credit.
It stands about 175mm tall including the frilled neck and costs 15,400 yen. Preorders open September 18, 2026 at 16:00 on the Tamashii Web Shop; shipping is set for March 2027.
The figure includes a replacement neck part so buyers can display the frilled neck torn off, the version of Gillis that fought Ultraman. Mitsuhiko Hosokawa designed the articulation, and the dorsal fins sit on ball joints so they can be posed swaying. The 175mm body is priced at 15,400 yen including tax, shipping separate. Orders open September 18 at the Tamashii Web Shop inside Premium Bandai, ahead of a March 2027 shipment.
