I would like to know more about this toy and bonus points where I could possibly get one?
Two Headed Action Figure.
I have limited background, but basically a toy collector friend spotted (and took this photo) at a toy convention. He wants one. The owner had no details on the figure.
Thanks.
Best answer: I know this toy! It's made by a company called PlanetxAsia, the name of the figure is Twinclops. Here's the instagram of the company that makes them: https://www.instagram.com/planetxasia/
They are super cool, and it looks like they are limited release, so you'll probably have to look for secondhand versions. If you're ever looking for toys like this in the future, adding the terms "kaiju" or "sofubi" will get you all kinds of cool collectible toy results.
Edited to add: That particular paint scheme may not be direct from PlanetxAsia, I know a fair amount of people who buy vinyl toys to paint with custom colors.

Response by poster: Thanks everyone. Man, that was fast. Sadly doesn't look like I can snag one easily.
