As usual X-Plus made a bunch of reveals at Winter WonderFest including Frankenstein, more Gargantuas, two DefoReals, Anime Godzilla, Moguera, and Space Godzilla. Many were rumored or at least teased by Gee from X-Plus in Kyle Yount's interview and they didn't disappoint. Frankenstein looks to come with extra arms and base (possible the Ric), he is shown with Baragon so it is possibly a set. The Gargantuas are in the poster pose (with Gaira in the air) it is possible they may be RMC versions. The DefoReals are Anime Godzilla and '84 Godzilla, which features the nuclear plant core in his hands. Moguera is an unpainted prototype 30cm figure. Space Godzilla was shown some time back but missed it release date that the tag had, at that time it was shown with Little Godzilla as well but he is absent here so no word if they will be released together. Most look to be released around June based on the tags, more info as we get it. Thanks to Jay Davies for the pics.
