Godzilla Figures: These Godzilla action figures are part of the Godzilla Vinyl Wars line, which is a collaborative effort between Medicom Toy Corporation and Japanese Sofubi manufacturers.

According to Figures.com, the new figures are due to be released in late October:

The Gmk Sofubi is a modern take on the character, styled after Godzilla's grittier, spikier appearance in the 2001 film Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack.
