This is an original Japanese B2 theatrical poster printed for the 1979 release of Ultraman: Monster Big Battle—a big‑screen showdown from Tsuburaya Productions (円谷プロダクション) bringing the Ultra Family together against a rogues’ gallery of classic kaijū. It is not a reprint or modern reproduction.
On‑poster translations (highlights):
-
Huge title: ウルトラマン (Ultraman) over the subtitle 怪獣大決戦 (Kaijū Daikessen — “Monster Big Battle”).
-
Right red vertical copy: 「ウルトラ12人ファミリーと10大怪獣… 画面を揺さぶる最後の闘い!」
→ “The 12‑member Ultra Family vs. the 10 Great Monsters… the final battle that shakes the screen!” -

Design notes:
A dynamic, country‑exclusive photo‑montage: Ultraman strides forward across a lunar shoreline as the frame erupts with kaijū mayhem—Alien Baltan (バルタン星人) is prominently featured at left; other fan‑favorite monsters crowd the foreground while a second Ultra grapples at right. The cosmic backdrop, galaxy swirl, and bold two‑tone title block give the piece pure late‑’70s tokusatsu energy—vivid reds, electric blues, and metallic silvers that really sing in person.
