Since 2011 was the 45th anniversary of the original Ultraman series, special emphasis was made on showcasing the props, monsters, and characters from that show: 
This appears to be the suit that first appeared on the show, when Ultraman had actual lips (later revised to his more iconic appearance).

Heh, I was a bit too eager to see the Ultra-Goodness, so I walked right past the souvenir program booth without noticing it. I soon discovered there were was a souvenir book stamp rally going on for each section of the exhibition, so I decided to validate my admission ticket. 
Ended up backtracking back to the booth and paided the 1000 Yen for the souvenir package (and re-stamped it in the book properly this time).

The popular alien adversary, Baltan: 
It's creepy iconic laugh was on a constant audio loop in this section. A few G-Tour 2 members ended up joining in as well (it was insidious).

A diorama featuring Neronga, the energy-sapping camoflage monster (a reuse of the Baragon suit from FRANKENSTEIN CONQUERS THE WORLD): 
Pushing the buttons caused it to "reappear" in the display.

Red King (who is yellow), Chandrah, and in the background Magura, duke it out again: 
In the episode, Red King rips Chandrah's wing / arm off and then throws it at the unlucky monster!

In a final reuse of the Baragon suit, the uranium-munching monster Gabora plays "peek-a-boo" with the attendees:

What the Monster Encyclopedia on the English-language dubbed Ultraman DVD described as "a suspiciously familiar monster," a model of Jirass rises from the depths of Lake Kiyamoto: 
Yes, despite the addition of a frill and a different origin, this was a guest appearance by one of the Toho Godzilla suits.

The Mummy Man from episode 12: 
It's eyes would light up and head would turn to freak out the kids standing too close to the case. In the episode, it summoned the kirin-like monster, Dodongo, who ended up being seriously owned by Ultraman in a rather brutal way (including a humiliating "ride-em cowboy" bit).
