 X-Plus as expected came to Summer Wonder Festival with some surprises that certainly won't disappoint. First up is Kong from Kong: Skull Island, it looks to be a 30cm Series, one pose/prototype is shown no word if there may be a second pose/extras. Next is the Gigantic Godzilla 1964. Also shown is the Gigantic Shin Godzilla in red vinyl (it seems) in both regular and roaring poses. Shown as well is a GMK setup that includes Mothra and Baragon (LMS) which we believe will be sold together as part of the Favorite Sculptors Line and should be released Nov 2017. Space Godzilla and Little Godzilla (LMS) are shown unpainted with release scheduled Oct 2017. Lastly Shin Godzilla 3rd Form both the regular version and the DefoReal version are shown painted, they look to be released Oct/Nov 2017. Those with release dates should be up for pre-order in the near future. More info as we get it. Update: Another shot revealed Godzilla '89 with a mini rose Biollante. We also notice what looks to be a DefoReal Godzilla Train Bitter '54.
