@@panduallen6712 That "night version" 2019 goji they released a couple months ago had to be the biggest joke I've ever seen from SHMA. Thing falls apart and it looks like someone just splashed dull blue paint from Walmart on it. The audacity to release that disaster of figure for $80 bucks when Hiya has a heat ray Godzilla for half the price is just embarrassing.
I've wanted a Ghidorah figure for a long time but couldn't stomach the SHMA's $250 price tag...now I only have to sacrifice $100 for something just as good
Having had both SHMA Ghidorah 2019 figures before selling them, Hiya's isn't just as good. It's LEGIONS better. Hiya just straight up embarrassed SHMA in every department with Ghidorah. I never thought a company could do that, and for half the price. Which is saying something because SH used to the top dogs when it came to Godzilla figures.
When folding the wings would you say it’s best to start with the top section then downward or vice versa? In terms of avoiding scrapings and the figure to fall over on you.
The best part of Hiya entering the Godzilla figure scene is that the low prices and stellar figures might actually push SHMA into making better Monsterverse figures for cheaper in order to compete. If thats the case, which I hope it does for Tamashi’s sake, can’t wait to see what they could potentially put out in the future. As for now though, beautiful beautiful figure! I preordered mine from BBTS and I can’t wait for it to come in
@@ParrotsAccount fair, but thats not the fault of Hiya, its the distributers and distance. Hiya base cost + even 50 dollar shipping is equal to SHMA before shipping
The joint you refered to as the “ankle” is actually the toes. The joint above is the ankle, and the joint above that is the knee. Same goes for any other animal or monster with a similar leg design. Hope that helps 👍
got this guy a week and a half ago and i just can't stop staring at it. switching the wings over is a literal workout but the end result is so worth it that i don't mind at all. insanely awesome figure
Wow this guys bigger then super 7 Godzilla that’s big I just ordered mine comes in July 28 then I pre ordered the other with beams color app can’t wait
It would be cool if his wings had a elboow joint so you can get those wings into some more wing posing but i absolutely still love how it turns out as i never seen a dragon with wing possiblity
Figure fight coming up? Also i did notice that you can plug all the wing sections into each other so that solves the drooping issue and it helps the wing look more solid
Some great accessories would have been the skull of the Ghidorah that appeared Godzilla vs Kong that was used to control Mecha Godzilla, some lightning effects , and the Argo ship
Incase anyone here doesnt know the wing fingers have grooves that allow all of the wing segments to slot together and support eachother which prevents drooping in the wings splayed pose
I'm very curious if we'll get another version that will have some updated articulation or just a different variant with accessories...because I do want this. Just not sure if I should wait it out though.
Thanks for the review. With the QC issues noted, I decided to canceled my old pre-order and pre-order from the second batch that just went up on Awesome Collector.
Interesting, didn't know there was a second run. The issues I would say that are more so really problematic are design flaws, maybe they can be worked out?
Still waiting on mine from BBTS. Here's hoping it's not delayed again... Fantastic review! Really good look at this figure, super excited for when mine *does* finally arrive
This figure is so good but I am even more content that Hiya heard the reviews and are releasing a V2 with a more Golden coloring to resemble more his original coat and as bonus we get Gravity Beams for technically the same prize and still under SHMA. Hiya is winning in every head to head Kaiju collection figure.
A figure I hope Hiya Toys makes is a Gravity Beam King Ghidorah with the same color scheme except this time they use yellow translucent plastic in the necks to show the charge up look Ghidorah is seen to have in movie and head with translucent yellow eyes like he had in the poster or movie and finally his gravity beam effect parts for each head and possibly some effect parts for the wings, that would be amazing and something sh monsterarts had never done.
@@sumanningombam9786 I wish I saw this sooner, yeah I’ve seen images of it, I just wished it had translucent plastic in the necks to imitate the gravity beam charge up like in the movie, but I’ll definitely be picking one up.
Just got the hiya ghidorah. I also have the S.H. Monsterarts. Hiya version is superior. It also can stand without being braced. Without the stands, the S.H. version falls flat on its face.
@@Nicolos117Wanna rethink that?? The Monsterarts Rodan is a burnt husk of jerky Shma Mechagodzilla breaks easier than a KitKat bar They got into the habit of rereleasing their old figures with slightly more stuff for almost double the old price Just the fucking "Night Color" Godzilla says it all. Meanwhile Hiya pumps out banger after banger while actually FIXING any major problems in their sculpts BTW, You certainly live up to your pfp
@@GojiraFan-in9ooMy MonsterArts Mecha-Godzilla 2021's perfectly fine. Hasn't broken on me. He's actually fun to have. Hiya Rodan's ugly as fuck. Muddy, splotchy paint & I hate the wire in the wings. I much prefer the burgundy-maroon & black colors on the MonsterArts & before u bitch about the ''lack of lava paint." I painted orange on the edge of his wings & tail on mine. No big deal, dude. The ''burnt husk of jerky" that u described the MonsterArts would apply moreso to NECA's pathetic Rodan figure.
@@BladeAllen666 Yeah. I've seen early copies with sloppy paint, especially the ones on the beak, which is why I'm waiting for the flameborn version, but the Hiya Rodan still has the best sculpt of the 3 and is the most accurate. And in terms of Mecha G, even looking past the breaking risk, not enough accessories, it needs the red highlights all throughout the body, and the articulation could have been better
Im still waiting for BBTS to ship mine out. Idk why they haven't, placed the order on September 1st and no sign of an update. Sent them an email so hopefully i recieve answers cuz this js rediculous lol
Not ridiculous at all; this just came out and they get their through US distribution. They noted in their listing Q4 of last year, which was best case scenario. They should have it later this month.
If Hiya has proven anything, it’s that they take our feedback and use it to improve their figures. I have no doubt they’ll do another Ghidorah someday. But for now, this seems to be the definitive MV Ghidorah for our shelves.
On a side note, in the fully expanded form, the wing segments tab into one another to create 1 solid wing sort of like the shm version so that the wings are less fiddly. Less only to some degree because anytime you have wings this size, there is no getting around the fiddle factor.
I just got mine from BBTS today and.....im kinda bummed. The wings are a nightmare to fold. They just will not compact despite moving the ball/swivels correctly. It's like there not enough clearance. On top of that the tail tip kept popping out. The stands are garbage too. The base screw just will not tighten and the stands just slide like a wet noodle. The icing on the cake is all 3 heads of mine have massive underbite to the point where it looks goofy. So far i've been real happy with Hiya's figures so I was just really disappointed when I realized I had less issues with the SHMA despite being inaccurate.
I’m feeling the same, just got mine today & I can’t get the tails attached no mattter how much I heat up the pegs, also they forgot to include the stands in my copy. I was so excited for this figure but these issues just left a bad taste in my mouth. I’m seriously considering just returning the thing.
If they had kept the showa-era inspired mains on the character this actually would have been my favorite get Dora design but because they took that out and only really have it in one scene due to an editing error this guy gets put in the same place as 90% of the other different designs
I'm busy on making a stop motion series featuring Godzilla, and I was conflicted on making either Ghidorah or Ultima the series finale villain, and I ended up settling on Ultima. *God,* Hiya's Ghidorah makes me wish I settled on him instead.
The neck articulation is pretty underwhelming, especially compared to what the SCV shma can do. Also a bummer the head sculpts aren't that good/suffering from lack of QC, considering how great the Godzilla ones are, but at least they're painted. The body sculpt is excellent but i wish they went with a different underbelly color, something about it seems off. With that said, pretty insane value for money, still a fantastic figure.
Epic! Hiya gotta make methuselah, really cool mountain titan, a recent unfinished official cgi model of methuselah was shown. Also behemoth, Scyllaand the others
Wow I know they did a reissue one til October I can’t wait need him now I don’t care I still get the other also come on it’s king ghidraha wow this guy is beautiful 😍 I want this for my birthday June 29 baby I’m getting him gift to myself
Hiya Toys Ghidorah is such a vast improvement to the SHMA Ghidorah. Better sculpt, more articulation, a VASTLY superior paint job, and significantly cheaper.
@@Nicolos117 How is it cheaper when it's nowhere near $150 or more in price 🤣, original sh monsterarts ghidorah was over 150 and nearly 200. SCV ghidorah was over 250 and nearly 300. You can get hiya ghidorah for 120 and that's STILL cheaper. Also...how is having...you know ACTUAL articulation in the wings to make them fold=less articulation? Cope with the fact you're just fetching to defend the 2 overpriced and less articulated versions of this
The only thing I dislike about the two is that Rodan is much larger than they made him he is almost half the size of ghidorah bc if you watched Kotm then you would see why, just look at Isla Demara when rodan and ghidorah clashed over the water
16:48 i don't think MV Ghidorah was supposed to be gold Ar least not the classic metallic gold that so many people THOUGHT they wanted when Monsterarts made that garbage special edition
@@BladeAllen666 All the problems of the original but they just sprayed it gold and sold it for even MORE money Why advertise it doing the all range attack if you're not gonna give us the effect parts to complete that pose???
Comment after the watch... Dang it I wanna get it and keep him n pursuit pose. Crap my wallet... DANG U HIYA!! Seriously this figure looks amazing! Tongue posing is a must and I'm glad it's there the left head needs his tilted derp pose with the tongue out! Great video sir!
I just get the two one will be out for display the other kept in box safe him for my grandson once he’s of age he’s 1years old will see how much it’ll be when he turns 18 makes you wonder 💭 ❤
I’ve always considered buying the SHMA King Ghidorah 2019 SCV for awhile but after seeing Hiya Toys’ King Ghidorah, I’m definitely gonna buy that instead of SHMA
@@happymoomoocow Yeah, idk why it's so hard for people to say both are good. There's one dude all over these comments going on a tirade about shma. Yes the original was trash, everyone knows, but the SCV (especially for the price you can get it for now) is a great figure too
@@happymoomoocow I could buy this Hiya Toys King Ghidorah figure but it’s still available for pre order on the Big Bad Toy Store but I might just buy the Hiya Toys Godzilla heat ray figure because I think it looks really cool
@@centaurmin I’ve found the SCV for SHMA 2019 King Ghidorah on Amazon but they keep changing price for it like the cheapest price they went for was $179
But there is. Sh Kong goes for half the price and it is miles better. Sh godzilla 2019 looks so much better than the hiya godzilla 2021 and 2019 but it is double the price. The sh mothra and rodan look better than the hiya versions as well. The only figure that sh can’t compete in is the 2019 ghidorah. But if you look at the other sh 1991 ghidorahs, hiya is much worse. And don’t start lying about the prices. If you want to get the hiya ghidorah, you still have to sell an organ. It costs 150 on a good day. The sh monsterarts version is selling for the same amount and less since people don’t want it. The sh monsterarts godzilla 2019 goes for 120 dollars and the 2019 hiya goes for 60. But hiya really can’t make good basic Godzillas. They always have busted faces and paint.
there definitely is a contest. the SHMA 2019 Ghidorah looks better. especially the special color version. this wing design on the hiya is total jank. it looks awful. they should have just done solid wings and later do a folded wing ceawling variant because this looks awful. i'll stick with the SHMA ghidorah.
@@Nicolos117you have it backwards. the hiya 2019 and 2021 godzillas look fantastic. they look more accurate than SHMA but shma has better articulation. my SHMA Ghidorah special color edition on the other hand is just all around better than this HiyA. this hiya looks like crap. the wings 🤮 definitely skipping this
Wow a king ghidorah that doesn't fall apart! It almost looks like Hiya is kicking tamashii's ass and for half the price. Maybe shm's incompetent ass will think twice before releasing overpriced shit with mediocre quality control
oh god, now this makes me nervous. especially the head issue. I don't think the store I pre-ordered it from got direct contact to hiya. if I got the bad headsculpt, I dunno what I should do. ppl rarely sell hiya toys here, let alone replacement part. if I buy it from overseas, I might as well just buy another figure as shipment to here reached $100. I might ended up have to buy a completely new figure, but even that is a gamble whether I won't get the flawed one or not. considering you said it yourself that hiya notices this is an issue and thus already prepared replacement parts, that means it's a high possibility to happen and rather frequent. god, I hope mine is perfect. I've been supporting the line this whole time, pre-ordering hiya's every releases, but now it kinda scares me if such an issue like the head not even being recognizable as the character issa thing, makes me nervous about all releases down the line. Steven's and Rob's take seems to be that the pros by the end of the day still outweights the cons, but for me personally if I got those screwed up ones, it'll ruin my entire experience and future expectation
@@StevensToyReviews It probably wouldn't worry me much if it's super isolated issue, like with my SHMA Rebirth. I haven't found anyone else got a copy as f*cked as mine. I get that qc issue issa given for a mass-produced releases, but I thought Hiya could do faar better than SHMA. After all, up to this point I only got one single issue in only one Hiya figure and that is a single dumbell joint on 2019's tail. I'm happy that Hiya is successful and thus producing larger quantity of figures, but I do hope they don't rush it and skipping on some qc
I saw someone else’s video on this and was INSTANTLY struck on how gorgeous it is. Makes me wish I was still into collecting this stuff.

Wow I know they did a reissue one til October I can’t wait need him now I don’t care I still get the other also come on it’s king ghidraha wow this guy is beautiful 😍 I want this for my birthday June 29 baby I’m getting him gift to myself
Hiya Toys Ghidorah is such a vast improvement to the SHMA Ghidorah. Better sculpt, more articulation, a VASTLY superior paint job, and significantly cheaper.
Better sculpt: yes
More articulation: No
Superior paint job: yes
Significantly cheaper: no
Keep coping hiya
@@Nicolos117 ☝️🤓
@@Nicolos117 How is it cheaper when it's nowhere near $150 or more in price 🤣, original sh monsterarts ghidorah was over 150 and nearly 200. SCV ghidorah was over 250 and nearly 300. You can get hiya ghidorah for 120 and that's STILL cheaper. Also...how is having...you know ACTUAL articulation in the wings to make them fold=less articulation?
Cope with the fact you're just fetching to defend the 2 overpriced and less articulated versions of this
Should’nt have ordered mine from bbts.I have to wait until hiya gives them the figure.
Hiya Toys King Ghidorah look awesome! Super great video, Steven, Happy New Year 🎊🤗!
Same to you! See you next year!
@@StevensToyReviews Okay 🤗!
Finally its here
Great review! I'm loving all of the Hiya Toys Monsterverse stuff so far. I can't wait for my King Ghidorah to ship!
thats immaculate for the price. I might get it but not sure where to display him
I’m asking for one for Christmas, wish me luck 😁
The only thing I dislike about the two is that Rodan is much larger than they made him he is almost half the size of ghidorah bc if you watched Kotm then you would see why, just look at Isla Demara when rodan and ghidorah clashed over the water
Mines still stuck in customs
16:48 i don't think MV Ghidorah was supposed to be gold
Ar least not the classic metallic gold that so many people THOUGHT they wanted when Monsterarts made that garbage special edition
Nah, he's not. it would b cool, tho
Actually, that 1 was pretty decent to me. 😶😐🫥😕🫤🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻
@@BladeAllen666 Yeah, the SCV is amazing.
@@BladeAllen666 All the problems of the original but they just sprayed it gold and sold it for even MORE money
Why advertise it doing the all range attack if you're not gonna give us the effect parts to complete that pose???
@@GojiraFan-in9ooThis isn't even true. The SCV is mechanically improved on, it's way better than the original
14:23 left wing looks like it's drooping off the hinge compared to the right:/
Comment after the watch... Dang it I wanna get it and keep him n pursuit pose. Crap my wallet... DANG U HIYA!! Seriously this figure looks amazing! Tongue posing is a must and I'm glad it's there the left head needs his tilted derp pose with the tongue out! Great video sir!
Woooooooo! Squeezing one more banger in before the new year!
HAAAA I'M STILL COOKIN
Man the fact he can hang upside down like a bat is impressive 💪
I just get the two one will be out for display the other kept in box safe him for my grandson once he’s of age he’s 1years old will see how much it’ll be when he turns 18 makes you wonder 💭 ❤
I’m still waiting for mine from Big Bad ugh
Hiya toys delivered for the new year 💀☠️🗣️🔥
I’ve always considered buying the SHMA King Ghidorah 2019 SCV for awhile but after seeing Hiya Toys’ King Ghidorah, I’m definitely gonna buy that instead of SHMA
SCV is $130 on awesomecollector btw, in case you weren't aware
Both are awesome and the SCV can be found quite cheap nowadays
@@happymoomoocow Yeah, idk why it's so hard for people to say both are good. There's one dude all over these comments going on a tirade about shma. Yes the original was trash, everyone knows, but the SCV (especially for the price you can get it for now) is a great figure too
@@happymoomoocow I could buy this Hiya Toys King Ghidorah figure but it’s still available for pre order on the Big Bad Toy Store but I might just buy the Hiya Toys Godzilla heat ray figure because I think it looks really cool
@@centaurmin I’ve found the SCV for SHMA 2019 King Ghidorah on Amazon but they keep changing price for it like the cheapest price they went for was $179
Such an awesome figure to end the year!
Wow they actually did it 😯
Still waiting on mine to arrive :(
The only way for this figure to be perfect is if it came with gravity beam effect parts
Happiest of New Years
it looks amazing, I might purchase it
Cant wait to get this grail next month
Hiya to the rescue, I will wait for an electric variant
Only gripe is the tails should be longer than his necks
Through minecraft? Did I hear that right? The game of blocks?
Lol, bought the gravity beam version
Oh lord I can’t wait for the figure fight it’s gonna be a slaughter 😂
Hiya obliterates SHMA in their respective MV lines. There’s absolutely no contest
But there is. Sh Kong goes for half the price and it is miles better. Sh godzilla 2019 looks so much better than the hiya godzilla 2021 and 2019 but it is double the price. The sh mothra and rodan look better than the hiya versions as well. The only figure that sh can’t compete in is the 2019 ghidorah. But if you look at the other sh 1991 ghidorahs, hiya is much worse. And don’t start lying about the prices. If you want to get the hiya ghidorah, you still have to sell an organ. It costs 150 on a good day. The sh monsterarts version is selling for the same amount and less since people don’t want it. The sh monsterarts godzilla 2019 goes for 120 dollars and the 2019 hiya goes for 60. But hiya really can’t make good basic Godzillas. They always have busted faces and paint.
there definitely is a contest. the SHMA 2019 Ghidorah looks better. especially the special color version. this wing design on the hiya is total jank. it looks awful. they should have just done solid wings and later do a folded wing ceawling variant because this looks awful.
i'll stick with the SHMA ghidorah.
@@Nicolos117you have it backwards. the hiya 2019 and 2021 godzillas look fantastic. they look more accurate than SHMA but shma has better articulation.
my SHMA Ghidorah special color edition on the other hand is just all around better than this HiyA. this hiya looks like crap. the wings 🤮 definitely skipping this
my copy has so many flaws
Nice review
Wow a king ghidorah that doesn't fall apart! It almost looks like Hiya is kicking tamashii's ass and for half the price. Maybe shm's incompetent ass will think twice before releasing overpriced shit with mediocre quality control
Can't wait for mine!!!!
oh god, now this makes me nervous. especially the head issue. I don't think the store I pre-ordered it from got direct contact to hiya. if I got the bad headsculpt, I dunno what I should do. ppl rarely sell hiya toys here, let alone replacement part. if I buy it from overseas, I might as well just buy another figure as shipment to here reached $100. I might ended up have to buy a completely new figure, but even that is a gamble whether I won't get the flawed one or not. considering you said it yourself that hiya notices this is an issue and thus already prepared replacement parts, that means it's a high possibility to happen and rather frequent. god, I hope mine is perfect. I've been supporting the line this whole time, pre-ordering hiya's every releases, but now it kinda scares me if such an issue like the head not even being recognizable as the character issa thing, makes me nervous about all releases down the line. Steven's and Rob's take seems to be that the pros by the end of the day still outweights the cons, but for me personally if I got those screwed up ones, it'll ruin my entire experience and future expectation
Personally? I wouldn't worry about it. They may do a repaint, like with beams. There ya go.
@@StevensToyReviews It probably wouldn't worry me much if it's super isolated issue, like with my SHMA Rebirth. I haven't found anyone else got a copy as f*cked as mine. I get that qc issue issa given for a mass-produced releases, but I thought Hiya could do faar better than SHMA. After all, up to this point I only got one single issue in only one Hiya figure and that is a single dumbell joint on 2019's tail. I'm happy that Hiya is successful and thus producing larger quantity of figures, but I do hope they don't rush it and skipping on some qc
13:27 can you do a tutorial
I got this and it is so perfect
this is the best Ghidorah iteration yet, so sayeth a non-KG fan
Comment b4 the watch MUCH EXCITE!
scrapped paint everywhere
Finally it's out
