 Albatross Japan teased recently that they would release a Shin Godzilla figure, at C3 Tokyo 2016 they surprise everyone by revealing not only a Shin Godzilla figure but it's two early forms. All three figures are unpainted prototypes but what is interesting is the size difference of the three, each larger than the next. Bandai has released these and S.H. MonsterArts versions were revealed in a magazine spread but theirs were fairly close in size to each other. The Albatross Japan ones are very different in size, possibly more accurate to their size in the film. There isn't much more info on them yet but we will update it once we have it.
  CCP revealed more info on their upcoming Godzilla figures as well as two lottery items. Desugoji, Miregoji, Burning Godzilla, Biogoji, Hedorah, and Gigan are all apparently coming in the line (the pic above shows some of these). Also shown were lottery items of the two figures (Godzilla '54, and Godzilla '64 with Mothra Larva) we posted previously here, the lottery items, 3500 yen cost, are limited to 200 pieces and are colored differently then the regular ones, "Godzilla Blue" as well as what looks like a brownish/silvery color. Update: they are 12.5cm tall and will be released in Dec 2016.     X-Plus has a booth at C3 Tokyo 2016 which they showed off there many figure but also made a couple of reveals, one updated and one new. The updated one is the second Godzilla/Evangelion figure this was previously shown as an unpainted prototype now they revealed the fully painted version, also reveal is it's release date and price, Feb 2017 and 32,400 yen (approx $318 US) respectively. This is the same price as the first combo figure that was shown and most likely will be a Bandai Premium release as well. The second reveal was a Shin Godzilla "Roaring" version, there has been a regular version shown previously so it's possible this could be a Ric Boy exclusive or another Bandai Premium figure. Also shown was a number of the other Godzilla Vs Evangelion figures. More info on the new reveals as we get it.
