X-Plus posted on their RicBoy Twitter page a couple of pics of what look to be future releases, Godzilla '95 and Keizer Ghidorah. Also in one of the images is a Titanosaurus, all are unpainted prototypes the tag for Godzilla says 30cm but the Keizer Ghidorah one does not.
Update: more pics and some info, all figure are scheduled for March 2017 release, prices are Keizer Ghidorah 21,600 yen, Godzilla 24,840 yen, and Titanosaurus 15,012 yen. Based on those prices the Ric Godzilla '95 should have some extra feature (per John over at Kaiju Addicts there will be no light up gimmick but will have some difference from the regular version).

As part of Diamond's US X-Plus re-issues comes the Godzilla 12in Series Godzilla 1999 2K Millennium Version 2 figure, with one catch this isn't technically a re-issue as it has not been released in Japan by X-Plus, at least not yet, as John over at Kaiju Addicts reports. He also reports this is actually based on a kit. It was first shown at SDCC and is now on display at NYCC. No height is stated by Diamond but it appears to be shorter then a number of other figures in the line although this could be because of the pose. Price is in line with other Diamond releases $160 and is scheduled for a July 2017 release.
