A SCIFI JAPAN EXCLUSIVE

Last week, SciFi Japan posted information and photos of the giant monster figures scheduled for release by X-Plus Co., Ltd. in late August 2013, including an unpainted prototype of Barabas. Tsuburaya Productions has now approved the final design so X-Plus has provided photos of the fully painted figure. X-Plus has also sent images for an additional figure; the unpainted prototype of the ULTRA Q monster Pagos. X-Plus` monster figures can be purchased directly from the company`s official Shounen Ric website. Shounen Ric offers Limited Editions of the figures with exclusive features or bonus pieces not available from other retailers. The standard figures are also sold by stores and online retailers including amazon.com, amazon.co.jp and SFJ`s sponsors Anime Jungle and Toy Freakz.
