On April 24th (one week away) in Tokyo the Kaiju World Festival will be held, and as one would expect there will be many kaiju related items there. The site for the festival lists a number of kits/figures from the likes of T-Facto, Gow Row, Kaibutsuya, X-Plus, as well as others. There are prices listed for some, others show sold out so we are not sure if all will be available at the festival. Below we highlight some of the coolest ones, at least in our opinion, as well as a random gallery and check out the event site for all the kits/figures listed as well as all the other info.

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.
