An unusual and authentic item from Japan, this vintage Ultraman plush puppet is an atypical piece from Japanese popular culture of the Showa era.
Designed like a pull-string puppet , it allows you to slip your hand underneath to animate the character. This type of soft toy, very popular in the 1970s and 80s, was intended for children but has now disappeared from everyday life.
The design faithfully respects the original aesthetic of ULTRAMAN : red and grey suit, large yellow felt eyes, and a blue graphic detail on the chest (a button!). The plush toy is in excellent condition for its age.
This type of object is sought after today for its unusual character , retro charm, and authenticity. An ideal piece for enthusiasts of antique Japanese toys, tokusatsu culture, or vintage curiosities.
