As we posted a few days ago it was revealed there was an X-Plus exclusive at Super Festival 73, Gigantic Series Godzilla 1995 Kit (Burning Godzilla). Now we have found out more from Kyle Yount (Kaijucast), via John from Kaiju Addicts, that we are getting a Large Monster Series Gabara (unpaint prototype was displayed) and what looks to be a 30cm Godzilla 1999 with clear orange fins (possible a Ric exclusive?). From the tag Gabara with be released in June, unfortunately we aren't sure on Godzilla 1999's release (the tag was cut off in the pic). One figure missing from the show, or at least no pic was shown, was Gappa. Gappa was posted on the Ric Twitter page a few days ago with simply "Happy New Year", no word yet on a release. More info as we get it on these figure and check out the pics below.

Kadokawa is releasing the Toho Large Monster Series Shin Godzilla Soft Vinyl Assembly Kit Red Clear Version. Yes this appears to be the same figure as the X-Plus version (and Mook/figure set) just in red vinyl. Like the X-Plus/Bandai purple kit we posted previously this is an 18 piece vinyl kit but features a closed mouth pose. It's 25cm tall (approx 10 inches) and 50cm long (approx 20 inches) and will retail for 10,800 yen (approx $91 US). Pre-orders are open now on the Kadokawa site, with release scheduled for March. Of note this figure does not appear to glow-in-the-dark like the purple one (we will update if we find out otherwise).
