Ultraman Leo

Ultraman Leo (ウルトラマン レオ) was the seventh show in the Ultraman series of programs from Tsuburaya Productions. It lasted a total of 51 episodes from April 12, 1974 to March 28, 1975.

The figure is part of Bandai’s Ultraman Hero Series, a line of affordable vinyl representations of Ultra-Heroes spanning the entire run of the series. This figure was purchased at the Toys R Us in Ikebukuro in March of 2006. I bought this for my kids, but they really didn’t care for it. They mostly played with the Ultraman monsters I brought back instead.

The figure is made of Soft vinyl and is about 6” tall. Articulation is limited to the arms and waist, as is the case with most of Bandai’s Hero Series vinyls. One interesting thing about this figure is that it was packed with a tag like the kind you see attached to vinyls hanging loose from pegs. The tag was flat and not attached to the figure.
