X-Plus had a booth at Winter Wonder Festival 2023, they had some interesting reveals showing what could be a continuing change in direction from the past. X-Plus revealed Gigantics, DefoReals, Model Kits, and Favorite Sculptors Line figures. The new Gigantics include a FSL Destoroyah base on a Black Dragon Studio kit that will be a resin figure per info and be 64cm tall, it looks to be coming soon since it was fully painted. A Godzilla 2002 was shown as well it is similar to the 2003 released previously but with a different head pose it was an early prototype, another Gigantic shown was an FSL Alien Baltan, this was also an early prototype. A Godzilla 1992 LMS was shown, like the others it was an early prototype. Another FSL Gigantic is Ultraman C Type featuring him holding a ship with base based on Episode #36 (it is designed by Liu Sakamoto(?)). Also from Ultraman is the Shin Ultraman Gabora which will feature two heads (Neronga has been previously shown).
On the DefoReal front they announced the second Gigantic DefoReal, Godzilla 1954 Trainbiter, this figure looks basically finished so release should be soon. Another ready for release was the Godzilla 2003 with Kamoebas (most likely the Ric option). A bit of surprise but maybe not was the Evangelion 1st Unit "G" Awakening Form based on the recently re-release 30cm figure, this one is a prototype but looks good. Another area that has been steadily expanding is the model kit line, it features the Shin Ultraman 1/250 Plastic Model Kit, Gamera 1999 1/700 Plastic Model Kit, Redosaurus and Lighthouse Plastic Model Kit, 1/8 Scale Plastic Model Kit Cyclops Fluorescent Version (releasing Aug 2023), 1/8 Scale Plastic Model Kit Metropolis based on a film scene, 1/8 Scale Plastic Model Kit Blue & Beta from Jurassic World: Dominion, 1/8 Scale Plastic Model Kit Dracula (1931). Also shown was model kit that were customized to show the potential of these kits, by Shunji Yamada and Yoshi Yamada and featured in Hobby Japan. Also shown again was the Masterpiece Series Princess of Mars Dejah Thoris figure which will release later this year retailing for 34,500 yen, it looks like a beautifully done statue. Last but not least was the two new color reveals of the Space Cyclops, orange and and ice color. More info on all the announcements as we get it.
