Role-Play items

• Ultraman & Seven W (Double) Transformation Set (1992)
  • Release Date: 1992
  • Materials: ABS, LED

Released as a 2-pack along with Ultraseven's Ultra Eye accessory, the Beta Capsule included in this set features a 2-way single button that only activates the capsule's LED.

• Kagaku Tokusoutai Set[sic] (1992)
  • Release Date: 1992
  • Materials: ABS

The "Kagaku Tokusoutai Set" comes with two SSSP arsenals (The Meteor Badge and the Spider-Shot), and a Beta Capsule. Unlike previous releases, the accessory is non-fictional as the button is merely a stickered detail.

• Flash Beam Beta Capsule (1992)
  • Release Date: December 31, 1992
  • JAN/ISBN: 4902425363295
  • Accessories: ABS, LED

"Flash Beam Beta Capsule" is a fully functional version of the accessory, featuring both light and sound. Two batteries included.

• Flash Prism (1992)
  • Release Date: December 31, 1992
  • JAN/ISBN: 4902425418131
  • Accessories: ABS, LED

The Beta Capsule from Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero (named as Flash Prism) is released as a role-play accessory. Pressing the button utilizes the transformation sound (and lighting up the two edges and the central crystal) followed by the sound of Ultraman's kiai.

The Flash Prism also comes with a sticker sheet to apply onto some details.

• Beta Capsule (Shin Ultraman) (DX, 2022)
  • Release Date: December 17, 2022
  • Price: 3,630 yen
  • JAN/ISBN: 4549660872788
  • Materials: ABS, PC

The Shin Ultraman version of the Beta Capsule is released as a DX role-play accessory. Unlike the Ultra Replica, this Beta Capsule features a very simple gimmick: pressing the button activates the transformation sound and the light-up activation for the Beta System's crystal.

The accessory also comes with a pin-up SSSP (S-Class Species Suppression Protocol (reinforcement unit)) emblem.

Candy Toy

• Ultraman Transformation Item Collection (2007)
  • Release Date: December 2007
  • Box Number: 3
  • Price: 300 yen
  • JAN/ISBN: 4543112505651
  • Materials: ABS

Both the Beta Capsule and Ultraman Ace's Ultra Rings were released as part of the Ultraman Transformation Item Collection candy toy line. While the Ultra Rings were reasonably non-functional, the Beta Capsule only features a light-up gimmick when the button is pressed.

• Action Archive Ultraman (2009)
  • Release Date: July 2009
  • Box Number: 3
  • Price: 500 yen
  • JAN/ISBN: 4543112557995
  • Materials: ABS

The Beta Capsule is one of the items to be released as part of the "Action Archive Ultraman" candy toy line. Like the one from the Ultraman Transformation Item Collection release, the Beta Capsule only features a light-up gimmick when the button is pressed. And despite the identical appearance to the one from the said previous line, the accessory is an entirely new mold, as the placement of the activation button is lower.

Ultra Diner

  • Price: 6,300 yen
  • JAN/ISBN: TBA
  • Includes: 4 packets of Retort Pouch Curry Sauce, 1/1 Beta Capsule

The Ultra Diner "SSSP's Curry" comes with 4 packets of Japanese Curry (reheat required if one intends to consume it), and a 1/1 scaled Beta Capsule being packed as an order bonus item. Despite the working button, the accessory is completely non-functional.

The "SSSP's Curry" is only released as an exclusive for the Premium Bandai site.

Huzzle
