Superior 8 Ultra Brothers Singapore screenings are coming this July, and tokuAsia was honoured to be invited to an exclusive preview at MINT Lumens Season 2: Heroes for Tomorrow, hosted at MINT Museum of Toys. As one of the few local platforms covering Singapore’s tokusatsu scene, it was a privilege to experience the museum’s unconventional cinema programme firsthand.

What is MINT Lumens?

MINT Lumens pairs classic tokusatsu films with the museum’s vintage toy collection in a non-traditional screening format. Season 2: Heroes for Tomorrow runs as a three-part journey, moving from Godzilla’s destruction in May to an introspective new wave in June, before culminating in July with heroic protectors like Kamen Rider and Ultraman. July marks the season finale, spotlighting Kamen Rider ZO (1993) and Superior 8 Ultra Brothers (2008). There are early signs the museum may continue this momentum, with more tokusatsu titles potentially planned for a future season.

The Guided Toy Tour

A particular highlight of the preview was the guided toy tour, led by a museum guide whose depth of knowledge was genuinely impressive. Beyond walking us through the vintage toy displays, he also gave a thoughtful introduction to tokusatsu as a genre for guests less familiar with it, contextualising the figures, magazines and memorabilia on show with real insight and enthusiasm. It’s the kind of guide that elevates a screening into a proper cultural experience, and full credit to him for making the tour as engaging as it was.

About Superior 8 Ultra Brothers

As for the film itself, Superior 8 Ultra Brothers brings together legendary Ultra Heroes spanning generations, from Ultraman and Ultra Seven through to Tiga, Dyna and Gaia, in a celebration of the franchise’s decades-long legacy. The film is set in an alternate world where the Ultraman franchise never existed — the heroes’ powers are sealed away, and it falls to the original Ultraman and Ultra Seven to rally their successors and restore what was lost. It’s a concept that works both as a love letter to longtime fans and as an accessible entry point for newcomers, balancing nostalgia with genuine emotional stakes. The production quality holds up well, and seeing eight Ultra Heroes share the screen remains a spectacle even by today’s standards. Ultraman film screenings are genuinely rare in Singapore, which makes this an unusual opportunity for local fans. Catching one of the best entries in the Ultraman film catalogue while also getting a guided museum tour is a combination not easily found elsewhere, and well worth carving out an afternoon for.

Screening Dates and Tickets

Kamen Rider ZO (1993) screens on 4 July (Sat), 12 July (Sun), 18 July (Sat) and 26 July (Sun). Superior 8 Ultra Brothers (2008) screens on 5 July (Sun), 10 July (Fri, 7:30pm), 11 July (Sat), 19 July (Sun) and 25 July (Sat).

The 10 July screening of Superior 8 Ultra Brothers falls on Ultraman Day, making it an especially fitting occasion to catch the film and celebrate the franchise’s legacy alongside fellow fans.

If you’re deciding which date to go for, the 10 July evening screening is the standout pick. It falls on Ultraman Day, starts at 7:30pm which makes it an easy after-work or after-school outing, and is likely to draw the most enthusiastic crowd. That said, any of the July dates will give you the full MINT Lumens experience — the guided toy tour, the vintage displays, and the film itself. First-timers to MINT Museum of Toys will find it a genuinely charming venue; the toy collection alone is worth arriving early for. Go in with time to explore and browse before the screening starts.

Tickets for MINT Lumens Season 2: Heroes for Tomorrow are available now at the official booking page.
