Ultraman 1966
I started to watch Ultraman was the rerun from the TV, I believe in 1972.( My first encounter with Ultraman TV show was actually Ultraman Jack.)
Ultraman started with the first suit which the face mask seem badly constructed.
Ultraman first costume
It last for about a few Episodes and then the second version emerge. This version has a better face mask, the obvious different is the modification at the mouth.
Ultraman 2nd version
Then came the last version ( which most of the Ultraman resemble, like Jack and Zoffy ) which yet another modification at the mouth area.

final costume
Ultraman is one of the most loved hero among the Ultramans, I guess being the very first Ultraman.
In the Last episode, Ultraman Zoffy came to receive the injured Ultraman. I was truly amaze when I saw this. Since then Zoffy became my hero. I don't know why, but I found it very cool, and later I knew Zoffy was actually the Commander or the Big Brother among the Ultramans of the M78 Star ( the planet where Ultraman live ).

Zoffy
Ultraman has appear in some other special make movie such as Ultraman Vs Mask Rider where Ultraman partner with the Mask Rider to battle a Monster. This is a very cool 8 minutes fight scene, being make in the 90s, the effect has improve a lot.
Ultraman & Mask Rider
Other include a new episode #40 ( The actual last episode of Ultraman being #39 ) make in 1996 with Ultraman Return, a few new footage added to the old footage to disregard the actual ending of Episode #39.
