    At the "Toru Narita Exhibition" held at the Aomori Museum of Art (Aomori City, Aomori Prefecture), sales of duplicate bronze statues of the special effects hero "Human" began on May 1st.

    Human is the main character of the special effects hero program "Assault! Human !!" (NTV) broadcasted in 1972. Mr. Narita was in charge of character design for only three works, "Ultraman", "Ultra Seven" and "Human". Since the program was a publicly recorded program on the stage, it is said that there is no existing video film, and it is called "phantom special effects work" among fans.

    The bronze statue is a resin sculpture work made by Mr. Narita in 1987 (Showa 62). At the same exhibition, three statues are displayed with "Ultraman" and "Ultra Seven". Kenji Kudo, a curator at the same building, said, “I have had food toys in the past, but I haven't seen a bronze product that has been faithfully reproduced so far. It's a perfect quality.”

    The production is "Soltec" (Sumida Ward, Tokyo) with a factory in Inakadate Village, Aomori Prefecture. Mr. Toshiyuki Hirai of the company said, “At first, I was thinking about using bronze imaging with a 3D printer, but I abandoned it because I could not reproduce the details of the texture and details with 3D scanning. It started from the beginning again and the production work using the prototype work continued until the day before the event. "

    Limited to 40 units, with serial number. It is 44.5 cm high and weighs about 5 kg. It is said that there are already applications for pre-orders that started on April 11. “I want you to see it as one art work,” says Hirai. "I'm happy to be involved in the work of an artist from Aomori."

    The price is 475,200 yen per body. For inquiries, please contact the museum shop (TEL 017-761-1420).
