Godzilla '74 Tiki Mug
Rising from the waves off the Tokyo coast is pop culture's preeminent prehistoric powerhouse himself, the gargantuan GODZILLA. In tribute to seven decades of reptilian wrath, artists Hector Arce, Mikey Bonanno and Tufan Sezer have tiki-fied cinema's most iconic lizard for the first time EVER, circa his battle-heavy, blood-soaked 1974 fan favorite GODZILLA VS. MECHAGODZILLA. Perched upon a Pacific tsunami and ready to annihilate his destructive digital doppelganger (while also providing you with radioactive refreshment), the GODZILLA '74 Tiki Mug is a monumental masterwork of dinosaur drinkware.
NOTE: These mugs are handmade, making each one unique, so slight variations from images shown may occur.
Artists: Hector Arce, Mike Bonanno, Tufan Sezer

X-Plus was at Super Festival 84 and had a bunch of new reveals which were separated into three genres Godzilla/Toho figures, Ray Harryhausen 100 figures, and Ultraman figures.

The big reveal with the Godzilla/Toho (pun intended) was a prototype of the Gigantic Series Favorite Sculptor Line Godzilla 1954 based on a Inoue Arts kit it should be approx 50cm tall and is listed to be released June 2021. Also revealed was a DefoReal Biollante which looks very detailed no release date was given for it.

Also shown was a new Godzilla 2019 this version looks to be the same sculpt as the previous version but it feature a smoke effect that gives the appearance of his atomic breath, it also has light up fins as well no release date was announced. A place holder display also shown had a Large Monster Series Mothra 1992 no other info was given on it. 

The second group of figures were based on Ray Harryhausen creatures, some were ones we have previously seen, the One Million Years B.C.
