Bandai Namco Group's official online store, Premium Bandai, has begun accepting reservations for the "Ultrareplic Ultra Zero Eye 15th Anniversary Edition" (¥8,800 excluding shipping and handling fees), the transformation item from "Ultraman Zero," celebrating its 15th anniversary. Reservations started at 4:00 PM on August 7th.

The Ultra Replica series, known for its "cosplay items for adults," will release the Ultra Zero Eye as a standalone product for the first time. This product is based on the Ultra Zero Eye included in the "Ultra Replica Ultra Zero Eye & Ultra Zero Bracelet" released in 2020, but with updated specifications focused on the audio, making it a special 15th-anniversary edition.

The Ultra Replica version of the Ultra Zero Eye has been newly sculpted from the previously released DX toy version "DX Ultra Zero Eye." The exterior of the main body is based on 3D scans of the prop used in the filming, supervised by the Tsuburaya Productions modeling department, LSS, to recreate the details as close to the real thing as possible. Additionally, to house the light and sound gimmicks in the limited space, a unique structure for the battery box was developed, showcasing special technical ingenuity in its development. The product includes a dedicated display stand, allowing it to be displayed and enjoyed.

True to the series, the two-step transformation gimmick from gun mode to Zero Eye mode is reproduced. The sound mode switches automatically just by changing the shape, and by operating the two buttons on the main body, you can enjoy sounds according to each mode. Furthermore, it contains two LEDs that light up in sync with the sounds.

Additionally, over 55 iconic lines from various Ultraman Zero works are included. Besides Ultraman Zero, the voices of related characters like Ultraseven and Pigmon are also recorded, allowing you to trace Zero's battles with this item alone (the aforementioned lines are the same as those included with the "Ultra Replica Ultra Zero Eye & Ultra Zero Bracelet").

As a unique feature of this product, there are four updates. The first is a special 15th-anniversary message. This item includes newly recorded voices of Ultraman Zero (CV: Mamoru Miyano), featuring a special message from Zero commemorating the 15th anniversary. The second update is the re-editing and renewal of the included BGM. From the "Ultra Replica Ultra Zero Eye & Ultra Zero Bracelet," the included BGM tracks have been renewed, spotlighting tracks that were not previously included, and including the theme song "STARS" from "Ultraman New Generation Stars (2023 broadcast version)." The detailed BGM list includes "Advance! Ultraman Zero (Killer The Beat Star ver.)," "Ultraman Zero Theme (Complete Edition)," "GO AHEAD Advance! Ultraman Zero (Ultraman Zero THE CHRONICLE theme song)," and "STARS (Ultraman New Generation Stars theme song)."

The third update is a special 15th-anniversary package. The package features the key visual of Ultraman Zero's 15th anniversary, offering a special design unique to this item. The fourth update is a special display stand. The included stand, inspired by the Ultra Zero Mantle, comes in a special clear blue version, matching the color scheme of the main body for a special appearance.
