Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Ultraman Alarm Clock is a Heroic Wake-Up Call

— December 17, 2013 — Life-Stages
This Ultraman Alarm Clock is cute, heroic and practical. A very popular superhero out of Japan, Ultraman has been around since 1966 and shows no sign of quitting anytime soon.

This limited-edition alarm clock comes with a flashing colored light timer, and Ultraman talks to you (in Japanese) and plays the Ultraman theme music. This Ultraman Alarm clock is a great addition to any Ultraman fan’s collection and is great for the kids too, especially if learning Japanese is of interest to them.

The Ultraman Alarm Clock is also a great piece of memorabilia for a show that has run almost 50 years and will hopefully run 50 years more in the future.
