A Yahoo! Japan auction has appeared for the Convention Exclusive Henkei Crystal Convoy which can be seen here. The figure, which is still misreported on most western sites as an e-Hobby Exclusive toy, has already been released at the Tokyo Toy show, with a few limited items to be added to the Part One Limited run site.
We've already ordered a copy of the toy, which should arrive in a few weeks, so you can expect more pictures when the toy arrives from Japan.
