BCI is bringing all thirty-nine original episodes of Ultraman to DVD. The first twenty hit on July 18th on a three-disc set. This will set you back $39.98.

Here, let's snag this features list from the press release:

Two collectible baseball-style cards featuring photos of Ultraman and his foes

Original Japanese audio track, with newly created English subtitles

English dubbed tracks created for the original television broadcast by the same team that voiced Speed Racer

Interviews with English dub team Peter Fernandez, Corrine Orr and the late Earl Hammond

Also, slimline cases, monster photos, and a Kaiju encyclopedia, plus a 12-page booklet. The second volume with the remaining nineteen episodes can be expected in October.
