X-Plus made a number of reveals at both SDCC and Wonder Festival, at SDCC the Godzilla '54 "Train Bitter" was shown at the Bluefin booth under the name "Yuji Sakai’s Work Masterpiece Art Collection No. 1" it is not clear if this the same as the Japanese release version. Also shown at the Diamond booth was Godzilla 2014 which looks to get a US release as well as a few previously announce figures. There was was also a Godzilla 2000 that may be a different figure (as John over at Kaiju Addicts states). At Wonder Festival there was a Shin Godzilla and MechaGodzilla II prototypes, both should hopefully hit later this year. There was a few previously announced figures as well as the Wonder Festival Son of Godzilla set. There was a Gamera displayed with Legion (yes non Godzilla) that per John at Kaiju Addicts looks like a new figure. Thanks to John for some of the info here.

The pic shows what looks like a prototype in the upper right hand corner, which we blow up below. No word officially from NECA yet but showing a prototype is a good sign that they may make the figure.
