 Banpresto is releasing the Magnuvics King Ghidorah and Mecha King Ghidorah figures, a new line within their Ichiban Kuji line of figures. They are Yuji Sakai produced, sculpted by Yuuki Watanabe (G-tempest), and painted by Takenori Yatake, the Magnuvics name is because of these figures size and details. These figures are not lottery figures as is usual for this series and will be purchased, they are 27cm tall, and will each retail for 24,000 yen. The sale period is from May 16th to June 29th (Japan), with release scheduled for October 2025.
