    A SCIFI JAPAN EXCLUSIVE

    The Japanese collectibles company X-Plus Co., Ltd. has provided SciFi Japan with information and high-res photos of the first giant monster figure in their new DefoReal Series. While X-Plus has traditionally produced monster figures that accurately represent the characters` onscreen appearances, the DefoReal Series will be in the popular "Super Deformed" (SD) style with large heads, squat, chubby bodies and stubby limbs. The company is putting their own spin on the figures by combining the cute SD look with more realistic features. The DefoReal Series kicks off with Godzilla (2016) from the blockbuster hit SHIN GODZILLA (??????, Shin Gojira, 2016). Godzilla goes through several stages of evolution in the film, with the DefoReal figure depicting the "4th Form" seen during the King of the Monsters` raid on Tokyo. The figure features detailed sculpting for Godzilla`s face, tail, dorsal fins and teeth. The DefoReal Series Godzilla (2016) joins X-Plus` lineup of figures scheduled for release this June. In another break with tradition, X-Plus is not offering an exclusive, limited edition version on their Shounen Ric website. Instead, the figure will receive a standard “General Distribution” release through stores and online retailers, including SFJ`s sponsors Anime Jungle and Flossie`s Gifts & Collectibles. This item is recommended for fans and collectors ages 15 years and older. DefoReal Series Godzilla (2016) 4th Form /?????????? ??? 2016 ?4??

    About us

     

    Welcome to SciFi Japan, your source for news and information on science fiction, horror, fantasy and action movies, TV shows and videos.. from classics and old favorites, to upcoming productions and home video releases, to the odd and obscure titles you may never have heard of!

    The mainstream press has largely ignored Japanese tokusatsu (special effects) films, and when the genre has been covered by American news outlets and television the results were often inaccurate and condescending. On the other hand, there have been some excellent fan publications and websites devoted to these films, but Japanese studios have been extremely reluctant to deal with fan groups due to concerns over copyright infringement issues (some fans advocate and promote activities such as video bootlegging and unlicensed downloading). With no direct access to studio news and photos, fan reporting has often been forced to rely on secondhand info and rumors.

    What was missing was a professionally run English news outlet working directly with Japanese studios and filmmakers. So, in 2006, we brought together a talented group of published authors and reporters, film historians, reviewers, festival organizers, and movie makers with ties to the Japanese film industry to launch SciFi Japan (More information on our key contributors can be found here). The only English language news site press registered with all of the major Japanese studios and production companies, SciFi Japan is able to consistently bring accurate and exclusive information on Japanese films and shows to English speaking/reading fans worldwide.

    This site also receives updates from licensees and distributors of Japanese movies in North America, the UK and Australia, and we’re press registered with the major American studios as well. So, while our primary focus remains Japanese llive action and anime news we will rinclude international productions in our "International SciFii" and. "Asian Cinema" sections.

    And in 2012, we launched SciFi JAPAN TV, a web series featuring coverage of tokusatsu events and interviews with Japanese filmmakers. Each episode was shot on location in Japan exclusively for SciFi Japan by the Gaijin Channel production team. 

    SciFi Japan has grown by leaps and bounds over these past few years, and the site will continue to improve. So please bookmark SFJ and check back with us frequently… we’ll do our best to make it worth the effort!
