Not sure how popular the 1970's Godzillas with the JBF members, but X-Plus is coming out with the 1973 Big-G PVC figure from the GODZILLA VS MEGALON movie. 
Image take from Hobby Search: [Link] Short description on HLJ: [Link] As always, X-Plus Godzillas tend to fill up their pre-orders quickly, so if people want one, sign up very soon. Still waiting for a X-Plus Godzilla 1962 (King Kong), and Godzilla 2000

Don't know if there are any fans here of the classic Japanese Ultra-Man TV series, but X-Plus is also releasing a darn-good Ultra-Seven PVC figure. [HLJ Link]

Arrived yesterday from Japan: 
It's the Revoltech M-66 Maser Cannon from Toho's WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS movie. Unlike the Mothra and Mogera Revoltechs, no real production issues on this one (though, the maser "beam" has a hard time sticking in the cannon front). Nicely detailed and painted, and come with some neat extras as well.

Chad, that RODAN/WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS combo DVD from Classic Media that Greg linked to is worth getting! It's got a wonderful documentary about Eiji Tsuburaya with many interviews of his coworkers and assistants. Knowing you're a fan of G2K, there's a great scene where all three Godzilla suit actors are shown marching down a sidewalk pretending to be the King of the Monsters. Yes, there's a short segment on the G2K suit as well (the spines were sharp enough to hurt someone accidently).

I thought Batgirl was the first DC Bishoujo, but no matter... Nice Yamashita Wonder Woman!

I agree. That's just about perfection as far as anime
styled American superhero statues go.

Really, really nice Wonder Woman. That one will be mine. Is that a reflection in the middle of her belt, or some kind of design? It vaguely looks like she has a clock in her belly.

Here is another shot with a better view of the mid-section.
Looks like it could be her belly button.
