The updated one is the second Godzilla/Evangelion figure this was previously shown as an unpainted prototype now they revealed the fully painted version, also reveal is it's release date and price, Feb 2017 and 32,400 yen (approx $318 US) respectively. This is the same price as the first combo figure that was shown and most likely will be a Bandai Premium release as well.

Bandai Premium posted pics and info on the Godzilla Vs. Evangelion Toho 30cm Series Evangelion First Unit "G" Awaking figure that was revealed at Wonder Festival this past weekend. This figure is made by X-Plus and sold through Bandai but may be available from X-Plus as well. It's a combo of the Godzilla and Evangelion characters, sort of an amalgam, it looks pretty awesome except for the feet (they kind of remind me of clown shoes, sorry). There was a second figure shown at Wonder Festival but no word if or when that one will be released. This figure stands 38cm tall and 36cm in width, preoreders start now with release in Jan 2017. It will retail for 32,400 yen (approx $309 US) and is available from the Bandai site here.

Via Steven's Toy Reviews there was a reveal of Godzilla Vs Evangelion crossover figures, combining both characters.
It is unsure who is making these, possible X-Plus or where they were from (Wonder Festival?), but they are 30cm scale.
There were two shown a standing and a crawling versions. The standing one was painted and actually looks pretty cool.
More info as we get it.

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.
