X-Plus normal shows a few new figures at shows but with Winter Wonder Festival they went over the top. They have over 10 new or updated figures plus other previouly shown figures, most pics are from Jay Davies on Facebook. The massive reveal, in more ways than one, is the Gigantic Series Shin Godzilla. This figure is huge and looks to have both regular and roaring heads. Besides that figure there was a number of other Shin Godzilla figures, both 2nd and 3rd forms (the tags seem to have them as different series for some reason), some deformed style figures of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th forms, a 30cm Series Yuji Sakia Shin Godzilla kit (pic only, was at separate booth, bottom pics), and there was also a roaring head(?) with the deformed figures. Besides the Shins there was Sanda and Gaira busts, painted Gabara with Minya (Ric exclusive?), painted 30cm Burning Godzilla, Final Wars Godzilla (unpaint, as well as Ghidorah 2001 Ric version. There was a female alien from a Godzilla film and a number of Ultraman figures too. More info on these figures as we got it.
Update: more pics and some other info.
Gabara, Godzilla 1999, and Kaiser Ghidorah (delayed) release date May, all other new figures no release dates yet (per tags).

While it has not been revealed on the Ric Boy site the X-Plus Large Monster Series King Ghidorah 2001 has been revealed in it's non-Ric form. This figure stands 31cm tall (approx 12 inches) and will retail for 28,080 yen for the non-Ric version (approx $250 US). It is not known what the Ric feature maybe but probably a bonus item. It scheduled for release in April and the non-Ric can be pre-ordered now from AmiAmi and other retailers. Update: the Ric version will include a "glitter" paint scheme (close-up bottom pic) but is otherwise the same, it will retail for 29,700 yen (approx $261 US).

X-Plus has revealed the official pics and info on their 30cm Series Burning Godzilla '95 figure. The figure stands 33cm tall (approx 13 inches) and the Ric comes with an Oxygen Destroyer, which seems odd because that is something they have offered previously with figures and many were hoping for a different bonus. Pre-orders start now with release in April and it will retail for 25,920 yen (approx $230 US). They were suppose to also reveal Kaiser Ghidorah but that seems to be pushed back.

X-Plus surprise us by posting a blacked out banner that reveals GMK Ghidorah, it appears to be a Large Monster Series figure and one that has not been shown at any shows or cons. X-Plus also blacked out the Kaiser Ghidorah banner apparently because it is delay. It is said these both appear to be based on non-X-Plus kits released in the past. More info as we get it.

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.
