Our friend from the Gamera unboxing video returns with a full build and and paint video:

I'm surprised it's a lot smaller than I thought it would be (11cm) but still looks nice. Looks like an imp compared to the Ultraman kit.

Not X Plus but I see Atlantis are bringing back the Cave Bear and Sabre Tooth tiger.

Within the above SMKR review, there's a glimpse from the instructions of the upcoming Spinosaurus kit due in November. Previous shots of the prototype showed a very simple base, similar to the alternate base that comes with the T-Rex. But the illustrated ad reveals that it will also have a far more complex, Aurora- style base too. So X-Plus has really thought ahead, providing simpler, alternate bases if you want to have the T-Rex and Spinosaur charging each other!

Couldn't help noticing that too. The T Rex and diorama look very nicely moulded.

Talking of a bit smaller. I picked up the Wave Futabasaurus yesterday and yes it's smaller than expected. That said it goes together really quickly and has fairly good detail considering the head is tiny.

 

[Ross Bailey]

It sounds like the Futabasaurus will be a good companion to all the 1/35 dino kits that are coming out. Sungod, have you seen this kit from Kaiyado?

Yes, more Creature shots...but I thought a lot of people would appreciate these more detailed shots of the assembled final version of the kit, courtesy of Twitter/X user Nekogasukil705

Summer Wonderfest is this weekend, so there should be a lot of new looks and info on upcoming X-Plus kits.

I've seen that yes as it was one of the kits you posted on the previous page. Looks really nice.

Oops, sorry about that! Sometimes I forget what I've posted here.
Is the Futabasaurus molded in color or are you going to need to paint it?

It's all blue styrene so really you'll need to paint it (unless you like bare plastic of course).

The first Summer Wonderfest coverage come courtesy of Gonzalo Colarte of the X-Plus Kaiju Summit Facebook page located here https://m.facebook.com/groups/225657980844869/
He has some beautiful shots of all the displays. This Wonderfest features the debut of the Mummy prototype as well as the surprise of a Red Sonja. The release date for the Spinosaurus has been changed to December from November, and the Mummy (CORRECTION: Rhedosaurus, not The Mummy) and Marilyn Monroe kits now have an announced release date of February 2024. Will be posting photo coverage here soon.

That Red Sonja is plastic??? WOW! I'm definitely in for that one!

Some additional shots from the Shounen Ric/X-Plus Twitter/X page, with alternate angles and closeups. Check out the amazing detail on the clothes of the Marilyn Monroe kit!

The Hobby Japan web page has given a "Recommended This Gem" designation to the upcoming JP III Spinosaurus and Lugosi Dracula kits. We've seen photos of both previously of course but not in such detail. Both are scheduled to arrive in December, and the alternate vest Dracula will probably be a Shounen Ric exclusive

Can't say that they're all subjects at the top of my list but they're all excellent sculpts.

 

[John P]

Definitely Sonja! Maybe the Mummy. I have both Moebius Draculas, so no to another.
I was on a dinosaur-buying binge about 30 years ago, and I have a bunch of plastic and vinyl ones I still haven't even built, so never mind them too.
