Ultraman Creator Winning Back Rights for TV, cartoons, features, merchandising... November 4th 2009 06:58am | Posted by: Michael Stevens, HNR Senior Editor The Japanese creator of TV series Ultraman has won another court victory in securing the film/merchandising rights to his otherworldy character, created in 1966 for a live-action TV show in which 'Ultraman' and his family from the 'M-78 nebula' battle space aliens intent on harming humanity. Ultraman's creator was Eiji Tsuburaya from Tsuburaya Productions, a pioneer in special effects who was responsible for bringing Godzilla to the big screen in 1954. The show has since spawned TV follow-ups, cartoon series and theatrical features, generating an ancillary marketing 'bonanza'. Click the images to enlarge and Sneak Peek Ultraman...
