X-Plus was at Summer Wonder Festival 2023, and had a number of reveals and a few surprises with those. First there was a celebration of 20 years of the Large Monster Series, particularly Ultraman, with a joint X-Plus/Tsuburaya display/booth that included basically all the figures from the first four series, Ultra Q, Ultraman, Ultra Seven, and the Return Of Ultraman, as well as other information. Most photos thanks to Gonzalo Colarte.
As far as the new reveals we got the X-Plus/Omega Beast joint figure, Shin Godzilla, it is Gigantic scale but doesn't seem to be drastically different from previous releases, it is for what appears to be a new line the Favorite Products Line. Also on display was a 30cm Series FSL Baragon that looks to be releasing Nov 2023. Two new DefoReals were revealed a Nightmare Gamera with Gyaos, and a Mothra Larva, Gamera was fully painted while Mothra was a prototype, their release dates were only a month apart Nov and Dec 2023 respectively. The surprise was a Godzilla Tower, which is part of the Toho Maniacs line as well as a Gotengo it seems, the Tower is scheduled to be released Dec 2023. One thing fans seem to be on the fence on is inclusion of the balloon (from the "heroes" escape scene). There was also a number of already announced figures on display as well. On the Ultraman front there was an image of two new Ultra 5000 figures, a number of new Ultra kaiju figures, new Shin Ultraman figures including Zarab as well as some FSL Ultra kaiju. There was also a number of current and soon to be released figures on display as well. For Ray Harryhausen/X-Plus/Star Ace isn't slowing down, There was the Metropolis Maschinenmensch 1/2 scale bust and a 1/4 scale statue, there was new Minaton statue, the Hydra from Jason and the Argonauts, the Griffon. X-Plus is also continuing their push into model kit, they are expanding their Universal Monsters line, as well as Jurassic Park/World kits, The Redosaurus with Lighthouse, and kits of Red Sonja and Marilyn Monroe was shown as well.
