Anthony: Sure - you can find these on the Japanese AT web-site (see link!).

But to make it short, there are four new stereo models with the regular plastic mounting frame (which are obviously intended to replace the AT-5V (-> VM510CB), the AT100E (-> VM520EB), the AT120Eb (-> VM530EN) and the AT440MLb (-> VM540ML)), two new mono models (VM610MONO & VM670SP - both also with the plastic mounting frame, the latter with fat needle for shellac), and three stereo models with the heavier alu mounting frame. Of the latter the VM740ML will come with the same MicroLine needle version as the VM540ML and funnily enough will be the cheapest oh the top models, while the VM750SH will replace the AT150Sa, and the most expensive will be the new VM760SLC with a moderately sharp Vital-like line-contact tip - so that the ranking of the top models seems somewhat counterintuitive...

The stereo generator version has been changed slightly to now 460 mH and 800 Ohm/2.7 kOhm. More puzzling: The recommended tracking forces have all been increased to roundabout 2 g, while the compliance specs would rather appear pretty unchanged compared to the corresponding predecessors...

Greetings from Munich, and I hope you also had a good Christmas time!
