Creative electric transformer boxes like this one – decorated with Ultraman [Wikipedia] monster silhouette paintings – can now be seen on the streets of Sukagawa City in Japan.

    Of course Japan!!! They would have comics on even these things!

    I find these designs to be quite electrifying.

    We can take this idea into India to turn those dull electric transformer boxes into a canvas for creativity!

    I take exception to the caption. Ultraman was NOT a monster. He was the greatest Japanese alien superhero eva!

    Ultraman, Ultraman
    Here he comes from the sky.
    Ultraman, Ultraman,
    Watch our hero fly.
    In a super jet he comes
    From a billion miles away
    From a distant planet land
    Comes our hero Ultraman.

    The title refers to the monsters he had to fight, Joe. I did not mean that Ultraman himself is a monster :)

    That box color will actually lead to considerably higher rates of equipment failure. The interior of a white container is enormously cooler in direct sunlight.

    Lets just hope nobody gets the idea to climb inside to gain the power of Ultraman.

    JoeD thanks for that, I was raised on Ultraman in the 60s. And of course the Spiderman/Thor Hour.

    When Ultra came to earth he accidently squished a human and he took that mans appearance and his leaders made him stay on earth to fight monsters for his misdeed.

    Ultra was the shiznit.<<<<< so you youngster understand how down right cool he is.
