A SCIFI JAPAN EXCLUSIVE
Earlier this month, SciFi Japan posted information and photos of the giant monster figures scheduled for release by X-Plus Co., Ltd. in late May 2014, including unpainted prototypes of Ultraman 80 Version 2 and Gamera (1996 Edition). The final designs have been approved so X-Plus has now provided high-res photos of the fully painted figures. 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 sponsor Anime Jungle.
