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. Two other figures were shown in a finish state, both being DefoReals, Mechagodzilla 1975 and Dr. Serizawa in diving suit, Mechagodzilla is scheduled for a June 2021 release no info on the Ric version, Dr. Serizawa will come in two colors monochrome, and natural color versions it's unclear which might be the Ric version they are scheduled for a May 2021 release. 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.
