With the Godzilla X Evangelion promo for Shin Godzilla in full swing more merchandise has been revealed. We posted previously the 7 Eleven MechaGodzilla figure now there is the S.H. MonsterArts Evangelion Godzilla, Godzilla X Evangelion Premium Rei Figure, and the Godzilla X Evangelion SD (Super Deformed) figures. The S.H. MonsterArts Evangelion figure (above) is a repaint of a previously released figure in the Evangelion color scheme (and looks quite odd), pre-sale has started with release in the beginning of 2017. It's 16.5cm tall and will retail for approx $90 US through the Bandai Premium website. The Godzilla X Evangelion Premium Rei figure from Sega (below) is Rei in a school outfit and features a mini Godzilla that she can hold. Rei is 22cm tall and Godzilla can be removed from her arms, retail is approx $24 US and it will be available in August. The Godzilla X Evangelion SD (Super Deformed) figures/emojis (bottom), posted on the Shin Godzilla site here, have few details. The image shown has 20 different characters ranging from Godzilla monsters to Evangelion characters. We will post more details for these as we get them for these.
Update: A retro style poster, due in mid-June from Rockin JellyBean, has also been reveal (very bottom).

We got are first true trailer for Shin Godzilla now we have our first figure from Banpresto. The 35cm figure (13.4 inches) is sculpted by the amazing Yuji Sakai and will cost for 620 yen, approx $5.70 US to enter a lottery to get the figure, as well as other items, actual retail price will be much higher if they will be sold besides the lottery.
Part of the lottery will also include Godzilla head magnet, silhouette ruler, clear file set, rubber stamp, mini figure collection, and poster (bottom).
The figure gives us the first look at his full body, we saw most in the trailer but this is an unobstructed look.
The magazine scan (at right) also seems to reflect other figures as well, Movie Monster Series Godzilla 2016 (Bandai), listed as 16.5cm (6.5 inches) tall. They will retail for $15 to $18 US. They look like they will be released July and August. There is also a timeline which seems to go from now to Oct 2016 we are not sure what that pertains to.
There is a second page to the scan (below standee) with mainly reissues from Bandai's Creation Line (now called "King of the Monsters Series") but adding a Shin Godzilla in the mix. These are the larger scale (roughly 12 inch). The two reissues release in July with the new Godzilla coming in August at a retail price of approx $44 US. There are also reissues of a couple of smaller figures in the line.
There was also a movie standee pic that has surface (below). We want to thank August Ragone for most of this info and translation.
