The 8mm film "DAICON FILM's Return of Ultraman" was released as an independent film in 1982. The film's creators, DAICON FILM, were a group based in Osaka, centered around Hideaki Anno and Takami Akai, who were still university students at the time. Their special effects and animation works, which transcended the realm of amateurs, are still talked about to this day. The characters from this film, known only to those in the know, are finally being commercialized with Ultimate Luminous. The lineup includes a set featuring Ultraman, played by director Hideaki Anno himself, and the multiplying space monster Bug Jewel. Based on existing documents and testimonies from the staff at the time, the figures have been carefully crafted to the finest detail, including the sculpting and coloring.
