See what Catwoman, Batgirl and Godzilla Have in Common in the July PREVIEWS Catalog

(BALTIMORE, MD) - (July 16, 2014) - MEDICOM Toys and Bear Model offer four new Sofubi characters in the July PREVIEWS catalog, featuring DC Comics' Batgirl and Catwoman and two Godzilla Vinyl Wars (GVW) figures available for fans and collectors to pre-order. Batgirl and Catwoman will release in late November and Godzilla figures are scheduled to release in January 2015 exclusively in comic book specialty shops.

Gotham City is known for its notorious heroes and villains, and fans of Batman characters can now collect one of each with the fearless DC Hero Sofubi Batgirl (Item Code: JUL142350, SRP: $79.99, Page 510) and DC Hero Sofubi Catwoman (Item Code: JUL142351, SRP: $79.99, Page 510). Crafted from soft vinyl to show greater detail, the Catwoman and Batgirl sofubi are unique treasures for collectors to find, as these sofubi are limited to 300 pieces.

Also available as a July PREVIEWS Exclusive is the Godzilla Vinyl Wars First Godzilla Sofubi (Item Code: JUL142354, SRP: $79.99, Page 511) and GVW Pretty Godzilla Sofubi (Item Code: JUL142355, SRP: $79.99, Page 511). A collaboration between Japan's classic sofubi manufacturer Bear Model and cutting-edge toy maker MEDICOM Toy, each hand-crafted GVW collectible is a reproduction of a classic Toho sofubi from the '60s through today. Bear Model originally released the First 1954-inspired sofubi to collectors in Japan in 2003, but now is offering the "true" green painted, 9" tall Godzilla figures to Western collectors. Both Godzilla figures are limited to 200 pieces.

"At Diamond, we want to offer more collectors here in North America the sofubi format, which we are able to do with the continued development of the DC Line as well as this new Toho reissue program," said Diamond Brand Manager Jesse Morgan. "Our partners at MEDICOM Toy have a great sense of the American, European & Asian markets, and are creating products that appeal to all collectors, regardless of their location."
