DG
Until now, HG, or High Grade has been considered the best quality for gacha figures. Bandai has just announced an improvement to this, DG, or Digital Grade. The paint applications for the figures digitally processed for accuracy, giving the figures a more "real" appearance.

Gundam
Part of the Robot Damashii line the blue one is 00 Gundam, Seven Sword. The white one is Unicorn Gundam from the novel "Gundam UC (Unicorn)". This novel will be released as an animation starting this winter.

Jibun Damashii
Jibun Damashii, a new type of figure where anybody's face can be the action figure's face. The first of the series uses Kamen Rider from the movie "Kamen Rider, The First". Sample figures with the faces of celebrities and publishers were on display at the Tokyo Toy Show. Also, announced at the Tokyo Toy Show was the second of this series, Shar Asnabul from Gundam. Orders are still being accepted through Tamashii Web (Japan) for Kamen Rider figures. Orders for Shar Asnabul will be accepted starting this fall.

Kiva
A few shots of S.I.C. Kiva. Through the use of interchangeable parts, this figure can become the regular Kiva or Emperor Form. Also, an advertisement for the S.I.C.

Price will be ¥5,775 + shipping, international orders will NOT be accepted.

Macross
Not too familiar with the mechas from Macross, but the big one (the Super Dimentional Fortress - Editor) is a transformable "Macross Quarter", standing about 18inches tall (just a guess, don't quote me). This figure will be released as a Chogokin for a little more than $200.

Mazinger
From the Mazinger camp. Tamashii Nation displayed the new red version of Energer Z. This robot was the original design by Go Nagai before it got scrapped and came back as Mazinger Z. The original Energer Z was the same colour as Mazinger Z, but the figure was released as an exclusive two years ago, and in order to avoid complaints, the colour scheme was changed... Resulting in new colours for the upcoming animation as well.
The other red object, is the Popinica Damashii version of the detatchable cockpit for Mazinger Z, "Hover Pileder". The Chogokin Damashii Mazinger Z has once again been revisited with a new version which is attached to a pair of wings that converts the robot into a flying fist. Shown for the first time is the end product of the "Shin Mazinger" DVD and the accompanying vinyl bonus figure, "Zeus".
The large figure standing beside the old Jumbo Machinder Mazinger Z is what Tamashii Nation is referring to as "Jumbo Machinder Neo". This figure is still primarily in its concept stage. Pricing cannot even be guessed at until they figure out what kind of gimmicks they're going to give the figure... Stay tuned!.

Super Real Heroes
First it was 555(Faiz), then it was Ichi-go. This time, Bandai plans on releasing Ryuki for this series of large statues.

Transformers
These figures are basically the same things that will be/have been released by Hasbro. The only "Action Figure" to be recognized for its excellence was TakaraTomy's Mickey Mouse Transformer. Perhaps as a result of this, TakaraTomy will be releasing their second Disney Transformer: Donald Duck/Volkswagen Beetle. Although there was an unpainted prototype available to be viewed, photography was not permitted.

The Ultra City Series by Bandai will provide buildings for the cities in which Ultraman will fight his opponents. Sets with one hero, one enemy and several buildings (including specific items such as bridges and towers) will cost ¥3,675, while a set of non-discript, non-specific, combinable buildings will go for ¥1,050.
There will be two Ultraman related movies later this year. One takes place in M-78, the world of the "Ultras", the other will be a movie based on the Ultra Monster Battles. Bandai has brought samples, but I'm not sure which belongs in which movie.
There is the evil distorted Ultraman Belial and the armoured version of a giant warrior, Armoured Xamusha. I think Belial is supposed to be in the M-78 movie and Xamusha from the Battles, we'll get confirmation when the movies are officially announced.
