Bandai Spirits opened reservations on August 5, 2026 for the Digital Monster COLOR ULTRAMAN SERIES 60th EDITION, a special version of the virtual pet device commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Ultraman series. The product is available in two body colors: ULTRAMAN HENSHIN COLOR, inspired by Ultraman's transformation scene, and GRAFFITI ULTRAHEROES COLOR, which incorporates dot art designs. Both versions use UV printer printing technology to cover the entire surface with imagery of Ultraman, Ultraman Tiga, and Ultraman Zero. The device includes over 40 Ultraman and Ultra Kaiju characters that can be raised, while Digimon appear as enemies in battles. It retains the color LCD and built-in rechargeable battery of the standard Digital Monster COLOR, with changeable background designs and USB Type-C charging. The main unit program is identical across both color variants, so gameplay content is the same. Communication is limited to other Digital Monster COLOR ULTRAMAN SERIES 60th EDITION units, the standard Digital Monster COLOR, and Digimon Pendulum COLOR devices. Reservations run until September 6, 2026, with shipping scheduled for February 2027.
The Digital Monster COLOR ULTRAMAN SERIES 60th EDITION carries a price of 7,700 yen including tax, and measures approximately 44mm by 63mm by 19mm excluding the keychain part. The device is aimed at users aged 15 and up, and runs on a built-in lithium-ion polymer battery. Charging requires a USB port on a computer or similar device, using the included USB Type-C cable.
Bandai Spirits is the distributor, and the product is sold through Premium Bandai. The reservation window closes at 23:00 on September 6, 2026, and sales may end early if the prepared quantity is reached. Both sources note that the program inside the two color variants is identical, meaning the choice between ULTRAMAN HENSHIN COLOR and GRAFFITI ULTRAHEROES COLOR is purely cosmetic. The device supports communication only with the Digital Monster COLOR ULTRAMAN SERIES 60th EDITION, the standard Digital Monster COLOR, and the Digimon Pendulum COLOR series, and reservations for those earlier models have already ended.
The product is copyrighted by Tsuburaya Productions and Bandai Plex, and may also be sold outside Japan or at stores and events.
