  X-Plus has final announced the Shin Godzilla Ric Boy figure, teased for quite a while, it features both regular and roaring heads and a purple tint like he is about to shoot his ray. This figure is 25cm tall (approx 10 inches) and 50cm long (approx 20 inches), and will retail for 19,980 yen (approx $193 US). Pre-order has started now with release in Jan 2017 from X-Plus. A regular version will also be available (with regular head), that has a more red coloring (bottom pic), and will retail for 17,980 yen (approx $173 US). Of note the Ric site seems to hint this figure will be sold abroad, so it may actually be sold in the US (possibly Bluefin or Diamond), more info as we get it on that.

   Via Dengeki Hobby While it isn't opening yet Toho has a place holder for the Godzilla Store, the website address doesn't even look like a normal web address, this is the first official store for Godzilla which is quite a surprise. The store will open November 3 on Godzilla's birthday. No word if it may include exclusive items or not, more info as we get it.   Via Infinite Earths NECA revealed their Shin Godzilla figure and it's pretty awesome. The figure was revealed at at the Alamo Drafthouse in New York at a screening of the film. While fans there were given a treat it was originally expected to debut at NYCC, NECA may have not gotten final approval till now. No word on release date or price (which should be around other NECA Godzilla figures), we will update that info once we get it.     The Gigantic Series Godzilla 2001 Emission Version is getting a reissue thanks to Diamond for the North American market. As revealed by John from Kaiju Addicts the figure will be released in Jan 2017 at a price of $425. It seemed that this would come from Bluefin but that may have changed for some reason.
 As part of Diamond's US X-Plus re-issues comes the Godzilla 12in Series Godzilla 1999 2K Millennium Version 2 figure, with one catch this isn't technically a re-issue as it has not been released in Japan by X-Plus, at least not yet, as John over at Kaiju Addicts reports. He also reports this is actually based on a kit. It was first shown at SDCC and is now on display at NYCC. No height is stated by Diamond but it appears to be shorter then a number of other figures in the line although this could be because of the pose. Price is in line with other Diamond releases $160 and is scheduled for a July 2017 release.
