I love how the got the classic goofy/silly look of godzilla down with this one. I wish they would make a large 18-20+ in version to go with my mezco Kong.
Just got mine recently. I order two (2) from BIGBADTOYSTORE also NECA Godzilla 1962 is a step in the right direction. As you mentioned, NO bendy WIRE at the end tail so this Godzilla will not have any broken wire or pop out wire to effect the looks. GREAT JOB NECA 👍 ! I totally like to see you do “Figure Fight” between NECA and SHMA versions of this release. Yes, I purchased SHMA GODZILLA 1962 because I mostly collect S.H MonsterArts as you know Steven. Great Review as always, I am just proud to have both figures in my collection now, since it’s one of my favorite Godzilla’s of all time. I have always truly enjoy watching Godzilla vs King Kong movie (1962) 😉!
Sudarshan ara - In my opinion, yes a little hefty and solid figure. If you’re on the bench for this figure by NECA... I think it’s a Great 👍 Figure to purchase. I usually like the SHMA figures because that’s my comparison figures with NECA but in my opinion....You will not be disappointed with this figure .
I feel like we expect a bit too much out of a $23 figure. I mean, that's about the price of an average Bandai figure. Neca gives us the benefit of articulation for a price better than SHMA can offer. $23 vs $100? That's a huge difference. SHMA HAS to be superior to Neca. Being a casual 62 fan, this figure was absolutely perfect for me. I recommend buying these figures in person, that way you can pick out the best one. Even though I felt the quality was overall consistent between all the figures. Thanks for the review, S!
@@StevensToyReviews I'm sure it has to do with liscensing/copyright issues with TOHO. Maybe Neca isn't allowed to do a full-likeness, such as with the Atomic Breath (even the name was changed to Heat Ray Blast)
I wish all of the NECA Godzilla figures had been given the same tail articulation and I also wish the people who work for NECA had released figures of how Kong had appeared of the 1962, 2017 and 2021 films too.
Definitely pair him with the mezco king kong of skull island. Its only $40 and its probably the best kong figure to date. If you do get it, remember to heat up all of the joints with a blow dryer, since they are a bit stiff out of the box.
The only problem I have with this figure....my figure...is that the mouth doesn't close. the same problem I had with my Neca NES Alien 3 figure where the mouth just won't close as if the mouth is molded to the head and not a separate piece.
The foot on mine pops off too. But I gotta put a little force on it. I need to heat up the waist on mine a little more. I haven’t been able to get too much movement out of mine. I have gotten the legs to go out a little bit. But he’s Thicc so the they are limited. Elbows on mine aren’t really tight at all but that’s probably just a slight difference in QC Great review Steven!
I'm somewhere in the middle with this figure. I was sort of disappointed that there was no ab crunch and the paint on the dorsal plates were chipping off forcing me to have to repaint the dorsal plates. However, I love that they made improvements with the tail and even though the face looks weird, I think it has its own unique charm to it.
No ab crunch? There's one on a double ball joint, maybe you might need to blast it with heat a bit more? But yeah, they mixed improvements with some steps back
I really want Toho/Bandai to give them the all clear to make the best Godzilla figure they can. I have no doubt in my mind that they would seriously give SHMA a run for its money, I mean Holy shit their Alien and Predator figures are great.
I'm sad because I got mine last week and when I took it out of the box the jaw started to pop out and I saw that the left hand was swollen so I got to send it back and get a new one
I love this Its a good figure Kids can PLAY WITH IT ( *HOLY SHIT* ) It has lots of atriculation It has an atomic breath AND IT LOOKS GOOD Totaly gonna buy
I have 3 Neca Godzilla figs, I own the Godzilla Vs Biollante 1989 fig, King Kong Vs Godzilla 1962 fig and Mothra Vs Godzilla 1964 fig, but good review👌👌👌
Would be nice, now that they seem to be doing more monsters other than Godzilla, if they did Kong as well. Id suspect that would come out more around the release of GvKK though
Here's a little story time on this boi, so I was put with the fam at Target, I was toy hunting for the 2019 Godzilla, I didn't find it but I did find the 1962, 1954 poster version, and 2014, since I didn't find it, I went to another Target, but that one didn't even have one NECA godzilla! So I now regret not getting the 1962.
Yeah public community love to know if there coming out with king kong action figure moved parts as we'll of 1962" just like Godzilla moveable parts yeah love action figure thanks again sharing have great day!.
Unfortunately, I had to super glue my Godzilla 1962's foot back on. No matter what I did, it just would not go back on. But, I'm still very happy with the figure!
I just got this figure a few days back. I'd say that it's a nice figure more the most part. The paint is quite nice, and the articulation is decent. The eyes aren't quite right to me, however. They are looking too far forward to be accurate, which further detracts from the overall accuracy of the figure itself. The dorsal plates are great, but they're just a bit over painted in my personal opinion. As for broken joints, my figures has issues with its left arm. It was detached in the package, which isn't good at all. Every joint is either stiff or overly loose, with no in-between. Kind of annoying, even after using a hair dryer. Finally, the sculpt is great compared to NECA's previous releases, but it looks and feels off to me. It's just lacking in very specific areas, and while those imperfections might be minor at a glance, it becomes more apparent the longer you look. The figure looks very nice for the price, but yet leaves me wanting more.
Totally agree this figure isn't perfect - NECA didn't bring their A game with production value, but I give credit where credit is due for the sculptor and though it's stylized, it captures the feel of the suit, and considering it's $25, the inaccuracies are passable *by itself*. The actual production stuff, however, NECA just needs to up their game... but we'll have to wait and see.
@@StevensToyReviews It is now apparent to me that the NECA figure has a rough textured underside to its tail, which isn't accurate. Not sure if you want to include this in the figure fight, though.
NECA is buyer's remorse city. Had this guy and then I received the SHM 62... it came down to shelf "personality" for me. SHM produced something that comes to life; it's fun to display and actually play around with. It was worth $100 for me. Sold off NECA and haven't bought any of their product since. Nice review!
When I had the SHMA out of the box for the size comparison section, I couldn't stop messing with it again. While the NECA is good, the SHMA is the better figure except when it comes to paint (and even then, if they'dve painted the nails, there'd be no contest).
funny cuz mine came with very loose and crooked jaw.....have to push and pinch around just to keep it in a proper position when trying to pose with its mouth open. Very annoying but manageable. too lazy to return it or exchange for another one.
Crazy hearing this guy say 25 bucks and now I can’t get it under 60 bucks, clearly people like this figure so it’s going out of stock online considering they lost the rights
This Neca Godzilla is absolute crap for me, it came with the right foot all broken, it just sticks upwards when I actually get it back on, absolutely horrible. Wish they put more care into online shipping
I personally thought this figure is so overrated. I bought it based on everyone saying this is better than the sh monsterarts. This figure has a skinny waist that looks ridiculous. He has an hourglass figure and looks like he's been waist training. I don't own the 1962 sh m.a. but the 1964 I own is infinitely better than this. I have a hard time believing the 1962 isn't of similar quality.
No premiere this time - we'll save it for the Figure Fight ;)
So that means were getting a figure fight?
Can’t wait for the fight!!!
Where did you buy this figure, Steven?
I wonder if NECA is to make the Godzilla vs the Thing or Mothra vs Godzilla suit
I have a theory that S.H. Monsterarts signed a contract with Neca.
Probably the best neca Godzilla to date. Can't wait for their KOTM figures.
Agreed
I have one more NECA KOTM Godzilla figures
ok the KOTM godzilla is the worst except the burning
Kotm godzilla is nice but the eyes tho
kinda think 1989 is the best.
I think NECA should make a 98 godzilla figure,it would be awesome
A GINO figure would be sweet
Ugh I knew I wasn't alone. Lol a 98 Godzilla would be so cool. 😁
I'd kill for the babies to get some along with the OC monsters from the animated series.
A zilla figure would be awesome
Ben I don’t like that movie, but the design is good, not to be a godzilla, but a monster
2:06 it looks more like a muffin top
I love how the got the classic goofy/silly look of godzilla down with this one. I wish they would make a large 18-20+ in version to go with my mezco Kong.
I ordered him on amazon today so excited he comes december 12 or 13
The best NECA godzilla figure besides the 2014 and 2019 figures(awesome review BTW)
5:21 is it just me, or does Gojira look somewhat adorable/cuddly in that shot?
Yea 😂😂😂😂
My jaw was off...the hinge, had to buy a second one. Going to try and repair the broken one.
That's too bad. But I want to get it!
from Japan.
How is the jaw broken
Ye and you can keep or sell the other one or even do a tutorial

@@StevensToyReviews dont you know that the beam for this Godzilla is also a reissue of the beam from the neca gmk atomic blast version.
It's not tho.
I wish all of the NECA Godzilla figures had been given the same tail articulation and I also wish the people who work for NECA had released figures of how Kong had appeared of the 1962, 2017 and 2021 films too.
I ordered the NECA Godzilla 1962 last night and I love the 62 Godzilla, you one my favourite depictions of the king.
just picked him up at Target and I love him
Definitely pair him with the mezco king kong of skull island. Its only $40 and its probably the best kong figure to date. If you do get it, remember to heat up all of the joints with a blow dryer, since they are a bit stiff out of the box.
Don't Read My Profile Picture the NECA King Kong is better
The only problem I have with this figure....my figure...is that the mouth doesn't close. the same problem I had with my Neca NES Alien 3 figure where the mouth just won't close as if the mouth is molded to the head and not a separate piece.
$25?
The best NECA Godzilla figure yet. Glad I bought this.
This is my top 5 best neca godzillas ever
I desperately want neca to make a millennium Godzilla or a final wars Godzilla
Patience is a virtue.
Also if they don't I'm burning down the NECA headquarters
I want a milenium godzillaaa!!!!!!!!
The SHMA is brutaly expensive
Just got mine. LOVING IT SO MUCH!!! My only problem is that its fingers are fused together. This is my favorite Godzilla suit.
Picked him up this week. Still contemplating if I want to keep him in box or out
Why would you want to keep it in the box I know the box looks nice but I have mine and I took it out that would be a waste of money tbh
You can't contain Godzilla, he will be free.
The foot on mine pops off too. But I gotta put a little force on it. I need to heat up the waist on mine a little more. I haven’t been able to get too much movement out of mine.

My biggest issue is the lower jaw, if they fixed that he'd be perfect
I think Neca should get Grove to do more Godzilla figures.. this is one of the most accurate depictions I’ve seen of Godzilla in their lineup.
I really want Toho/Bandai to give them the all clear to make the best Godzilla figure they can. I have no doubt in my mind that they would seriously give SHMA a run for its money, I mean Holy shit their Alien and Predator figures are great.
I hope NECA make Godzilla 2002 figure. Also a SHMA/NECA Godzilla 2004 (FinalGoji), Godzilla 2000 (MireGoji), and Godzilla 1974/1975 (MegaroGoji).
Your wishes come true xd
They made a 2003, so close enough
"if neca can continue this trend moving forward" felt that one :(
I'm sad because I got mine last week and when I took it out of the box the jaw started to pop out and I saw that the left hand was swollen so I got to send it back and get a new one
I love this
Its a good figure
Kids can PLAY WITH IT ( *HOLY SHIT* )
It has lots of atriculation
It has an atomic breath
AND IT LOOKS GOOD
Totaly gonna buy
There should be a 2000 Godzilla figure by Neca that would be epic and amazing!
Yeeeeeeaah
Hello I have an option to get this one, the one from Godzilla vs space Godzilla or to get the one from GMK which one should I choose
I been waiting for this man!
I have 3 Neca Godzilla figs, I own the Godzilla Vs Biollante 1989 fig, King Kong Vs Godzilla 1962 fig and Mothra Vs Godzilla 1964 fig, but good review👌👌👌
I got mine today, very happy with it. i can easily skip on the SHMA version even now that the prices for one have gone up and beyond.
Godzilla final wars is my all time favorite godzilla and i hope that neca or sh monster arts will make one
If they got licensing to put a kong on the box...
1962 NECA King Kong figure releasing 2020 CONFIRMED!!!!!
They just announced a 1933 kong
Godzilla99 I know it’s super awesome that means King Kong 1962 might come!
Wow!
Kingoji is cool!😊
At the base of the atomic breath piece you can see some holes in it that I'm pretty sure they put in there for the poster version of the 1954
Already tried the beam in the 54 mouth, the teeth don't line up.
@@StevensToyReviews I wonder what those holes are for then
Yeah it looks nice! I love the beam effect!
Good
Would be nice, now that they seem to be doing more monsters other than Godzilla, if they did Kong as well. Id suspect that would come out more around the release of GvKK though
What Godzilla figure is at 12:12 on the left with the blue dorsal plates?
The 1993 poster version, if you don't have him yet he would be about 150 on Amazon sadly
What is the Kong figure featured in the size comparison?
The mezco King Kong and mezco black and white King Kong
This figure marks the first and only time I have skipped the SHM figure in favor of NECA's offering.
I'll make sure too heat up the ball joints thank you
I jut got a neca Godzillarealwith a wired tail and it really botherd me, so i am really happy they got rid of it
I just wonder is there a newer brighter version.?
Cool

So I now regret not getting the 1962.
Everytime I look at him on my shelf I can't unsee Kermit
*looks at shelf and hears* it’s not easy being green
Figure fight NECA vs S.H. MonsterArts Godzilla (2014)?
Best godzilla neca ever made now neca lost godzilla what next a 1962 kong or a kong from godzilla vs kong need a good size match up
Do a figure battle of the 2014’s and the 1962’s
I pre ordered the neca mothra I maybe I will be the first person to review the toy
Probably not lol
For heating up the joints, should you use a hair dryer or hot water? If water how hot? Thanks. (new to NECA)
Either or! I prefer hair dryer.
How would you recommend heating it up?
Hairdryer
Make sure not to heat it up TOO much though
Now NECA is giving SH Monsterarts a run for their money.
I guessing there will be another episode of figure fight in the future?
Wait never mind
For some reason mine obviously looks more greener than the one you have.
20 dollars for a good figure vs 100 dollars for a shit figure.... I think I'll go for the 20 dollar.
My favorite godzilla
I’m going to get that in Christmas
Mine had a lighter
Mine is gray with some brushed brown here and there
Yeah public community love to know if there coming out with king kong action figure moved parts as we'll of 1962" just like Godzilla moveable parts yeah love action figure thanks again sharing have great day!.
Just use pieces of paper to tighten the joints that need to be tightened
That's gaudy
Mine is coming in like 4 days :)
I need him so bad
Unfortunately, I had to super glue my Godzilla 1962's foot back on. No matter what I did, it just would not go back on. But, I'm still very happy with the figure!
I recommend Krazy glue I used it but didn't come out alot. It didn't move but doesn't come out easy I recommend it honestly :)
Necas most accurate godzilla figure it took em like 6 years to make a sculpt almost on par with monsterarts
I gotta get one!
