Product Description
Created by special effects wizard Eiji Tsuburaya (Godzilla, Mothra), the 1960's television series Ultraman remains one of Japan's most beloved science-fiction exports.

Airing between 1966 and 1967 with a total of 39 episodes, the live-action series followed a high-tech police force and their alien superhero Ultraman as they battled to save the Earth from invading aliens and monsters. This collection presents the complete series in original un-cut and re-mastered editions.

When the world is threatened by alien invaders and giant prehistoric monsters, there is only one agency equipped to handle the situation, The Science Patrol, an ultra-sophisticated police force equipped with high-tech weaponry and spacecrafts. Led by Captain Muramatsu, the team defends the planet from the unknown. Unbeknownst to the team, one of their members, Hayata, has the ability to transform himself into the giant superhero from Nebula M7B, Ultraman, when all their weaponry and skills can't stop their foes!

Special features include English Subtitles, U.S. Opening Credits and interviews with the English dub team of Peter Fernandez, Corrine Orr and the late Earl Hammond (the team that also voiced the English version of Speed Racer).

The price on this is unbelievable-- a mere $8.50! Considering when this series was first released it was somewhere between $30 to $45, that's incredible.

As a young child in the 70's, I would eagerly run home from school to catch Ultra-Man, Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot and Space Giants. Then we would play football and reenact what we saw on those shows attempting our karate moves which failed miserably.
I was even Ultra-Man for Halloween one year and my Mom still has the costume and beat-up box (that has to be worth something right?)!
I will get this set as I only have one individual DVD from Japan.
Is Johnny Sokko on DVD?

Hell, I am very tempted to get this. I used to love Ultraman, so much so that years later I got the fighting game on - - Super Nintendo?
