Ultraman hype returns with DRUM collab and Faizal Hussein's touching tribute to hero dads
KUALA LUMPUR, May 30 — Malaysian actor Faizal Hussein shines in a heartfelt new promo for the DRUM x Ultraman fashion collaboration.
In the video, Faizal portrays a father who seems to have lost interest in Ultraman — until his daughter launches a DRUM Ultraman fashion line for Father's Day, rekindling his childhood admiration for the iconic hero.
The narrative strikes a sentimental tone, culminating in the moving tagline: 'Every dad was a kid once. Some never stop being heroes'.
Fans will recognise several well-known Ultra figurines featured throughout the video, including Ultraman Zero and Ultraman Regulos.
The DRUM x Ultraman collection was unveiled yesterday at a pop-up event held at Lot 10, Bukit Bintang, where it was attended by VIPs, guests, members of the Ultraman fan club called Ultraman Malaysia Crew (UMCrew).

Faizal himself was present, sporting a signature DRUM Ultra jacket and even posing for a photo with none other than the legendary Ultraman Tiga.
The event will run until June 1, giving fans a chance to visit and express their love for the Ultra Hero.
DRUM, a Malaysian fashion brand known for its men's and women's streetwear — including T-shirts, shirts, jumpers, hoodies, jeans, and jackets — is the latest local label to collaborate with the Ultraman IP, following previous partnerships with TNTCO and Pestle & Mortar.
The Ultraman phenomenon continues to captivate Malaysians, most recently with The Ultra Tour at Sunway Putra Mall, which concluded on May 12.
Now, with Ultraman Arc The Movie: The Clash of Light and Evil hitting Malaysian cinemas this July at TGV, Ultraman is set to be the talk of the town again.

A sombre Aidiladha for Putra Heights gas inferno victims
The gas pipeline fire destroyed 81 houses, with more than 40% of the structures sustaining structural damage; 81 other houses were partially destroyed and 57 houses were affected but not burned. (EPA Images pic) SUBANG JAYA : As Muslims look forward to celebrating Hari Raya Aidiladha tomorrow, residents of Kampung Kuala Sungai Baru in Puchong must summon the strength to face the day, two months after their homes were destroyed in the gas pipeline inferno on April 2. Among them was Nasir Ab Hamid, 69, who said sheer will and determination have been his family's main source of strength in forging ahead despite now living with minimal means after losing most of their belongings in the fire. 'My family and I are grateful to be alive and to have received support from the community and various parties. However, I hope the recovery process, particularly the promised rebuilding of our home, can be expedited so that life can return to normal,' he said. Nasir's house remains without a roof, except for the garage, and the interior was devoid of furniture or electrical appliances, which had been destroyed in the intense heat of the fire. Nasir lives in the house alone, sleeping in the garage on a mattress he received from the temporary relief centre. 'Although I received financial assistance to rent a house, I feel more comfortable staying in my own home as I can also keep an eye on what's left of my belongings while my wife and four of our children occupy the rented house,' he said, expressing hope that the government would expedite the repair process for all victims' homes. Another resident, Ahmad Danial, 25, said that their lives are no longer the same, especially with the lingering trauma still deeply affecting the entire family. 'There are no major preparations (for Aidiladha). The house is still in ruins, making it difficult to gather comfortably with the family. We are relying on donations from local associations and neighbours,' he said, adding that he lost his job following the incident. Ahmad Kamarul Meskam, 42, expressed despair for not being able to gather with his siblings for Aidiladha after their mother's house was destroyed in the incident. He said before the fire, they lived in the same village. 'We have no plans to celebrate Aidiladha since we are now living in separate areas.,' he said, admitting that the tragedy has left a profound emotional impact. It is understood that the Kampung Sungai Baru Residents Association will hold a sacrificial ritual in conjunction with Aidiladha on Sunday on a plot of land in the village, thanks to donations of several cows and goats from an anonymous benefactor. The gas pipeline fire, which occurred at 8.10am, resulted in flames shooting up 30 metres high, with temperatures reaching 1,000 degrees Celsius. Firefighters took nearly eight hours to completely extinguish the fire. A total of 81 houses were destroyed, with more than 40% of the structures sustaining structural damage; 81 other houses were partially destroyed, 57 houses were affected but not burned, and 218 houses remained unaffected.
