I am genuinely excited for more of their upcoming releases after seeing that. Like they maintain to keep the figures accurate while giving them shma articulation for a lot less. And I like hiya even more because they actually listen to the customers. And continue to improve, unlike shma keeping the same sculpt and issues for the past 6 figures. And just slap whatever movie it's based on the packaging and call it a day.
I totally agree with you, Hiya has been doing absolutely amazing recently and it really excites me for the future of Hiya's Godzilla line as they continue to put out these amazing affordable figures
It really does. I didn’t expect them to show even more amazing figures, this year they kept rolling one after another nonstop. Hiya is a good representation of what good leadership looks like within a company.
It makes sense in the movie evolve Godzilla is meant to be more maneuverable with a new fighting style to it. This perfectly represents that Godzilla in figure form.
When hiya does scar king, they should give him an extra grinning face one just smiling and one with grinning teeth. They shouls also get the standard whip, then have another whip in 2 pieces from when Godzilla bit it in half. This would be so awesome! Though I’d understand if they don’t do all of that because that’s a lot to ask for.
I can speculate They’ll do something similar with accessories like they’ve done with Kong. they have plenty of room to play around with accessories and variance.
They’ll prolly just have one whip that has a removable crystal. Maybe it can have a snap in two feature then connect back together rather than just putting 2 whips in
I honestly cant wait for them to make final wars godzilla. Just imagine how posable he's gonna be while maintaining accuracy. A zilla figure would be the best thing. Well for me.
I'm convinced that SHMA became what it is today when NECA bowed out, basically giving them no competition. They became so confident to the point where they became overconfident. Even when HIYA came out and started cooking, whoever is in charge of SHMA probably has the mindset of, "Oh, they're just a bunch of rookies, we're the OGs, people will stay loyal to us no matter what." Well, look where that's gotten them. But I seriously doubt they even care at this point.
seriously all we asked to shm just to make their price justified. they can charge their figures 100,200 even 400 usd aslong it has consistent QC, great paintjob and articulation, and accessories. yet they still failed
Honestly, I personally believe that Hiya Toys is definitely on a roll here. The primary examples from SDCC, WonderFest, and this year's Japan Expo show how well they've improved the articulation systems, all thanks to customers' feedback and suggestions. Most exciting are the upgraded Evolved Godzilla and Shimo as well. And if I recall correctly, Hiya Toys does confirm that many new Kaiju from both Toho and MonsterVerse are coming to their figure roster, assuming that Final Wars Godzilla and KiryuGoji will eventually be one of them much sooner than expected since they've done some of the Millennium Godzillas like GMK Godzilla and Godzilla 2000 so far, before the end of this year, to be precise.
Yes, they did a recent Q&A which confirms they are indeed doing classic and modern figures, it goes a way long when a company is willing to take extra time to deliver an upgraded figure. Remember, they didn’t have to do this like any other company they chose to do that which is amazing.
@@RubiGamingx Good to know, yes, I’ve already heard and read that particular article from Toho Kingdom, and again, I’m actually more excited to see Hiya Toys taking some time in upgrading the articulated systems for their Kaiju figures really well received. Again, I will definitely wait patiently for Hiya Toys to eventually make both Final Wars Godzilla and KiryuGoji since they do have GMK Godzilla and Godzilla 2000 in their Exquisite Base lineup, so hopefully that I’ll be expecting to see them much sooner since this does take plenty of time of process, approval, and engineering in articulations and fine details. So hopefully we’ll get them before the end of this year.
I will melt if Hiya does their own rendition of KiryuGoji. It might just be my favorite Godzilla design of all time. I already have the SHMA KiryuGoji and it’s very good, but I might just have to sell my figure if Hiya takes a shot at it because I have no doubt that they can do it even better.
SH fans not gonna have ANYTHING to say if these images are anything to go off of. Like we already know how reliable Hiya’s promotional material is. Sorry guys. This may be the end of the line for SH when it comes to being on top.
Reliable? Hiyas energized godzilla is a completely different color from the promo pics, and evolved wether for the better or not is darker than the pics. Pre evolved godzilla is also darker and less color than the pics. Reliable my ass.
@@ParrotsAccountLMAO dude is so desperate for anything to critique he’s going after the lighting of pictures 💀💀💀 You’re mad asf that Hiya is cooking better than Bandai. Let me ask you something, which company right now downgrades their figures day by day as they approach their release dates? Who is it? Seriously, be honest with this one. Because only ONE company is updating and improving figure sculpts on the fly, and it ain’t Bandai from what I can see 😂😂
Imagine hiya toys godzilla minus one. It will be epic and highly detailed. Heat ray minus one might have his Dorsal plates burst out of his back like in the movie with a beam and explosion effect.
Hiya has literally set a new standard for Godzilla figures. Their line is only about 5 years old and they have both Godzilla and Kong doing SUPERHERO LANDING POSES 🤯🤯🤯 This is quite literally peak action figure engineering, something Bandai lost the integrity to do. I knew back when SDCC came around and Bandai’s figures started looking watered down from the OG promotional pictures that they were losing this race.
Hiya toys has made me very happy A lot they are like a new version of neca and I am definitely going to be very patient and just give hiya toys time and patience for them to cook us good figures
I think HIYA has really hit a new groove now. All of their stuff that’s coming I think could be considered “next gen” figures. Insane articulation, screen accuracy, and low prices they have it all. I knew we were in for a treat since I saw the quality that the upgraded 2014 Goji had a few months ago at SDCC
The thing not a lot of people realize is that yes shma has gone down over the years but Bandai does NOT need your money from this line which means they really don’t care they put these out as a side way to get money
Monsterarts only makes a portion of the whole company, I’m sure there are other divisions providing successful income to them. Those who have switched over to other companies are likely not to return to them.
S.h. monsterarts: nooo! You just a slightly better version of neca! You can't do things as good as we did! Our shimo figure has same feet as funko pop of her and costs 299$! This is the royal quality! Hiya: lol we made movie accurate shimo with fully articulated fingers for 69$ :]
And that's one of reasons why I stop collecting Monsterarts since 2019 since Tamashii Nations (or Bandai) doesn't care about fans. I stop collecting Monsterarts because they're too expensive, shelf space, qc issues and most of figures don't look accurate to suits/CG models from movies.
It's insane how back then, shma was our only alternative for any godzilla figure. Looks like hiya will take that title. As it should be. because they actually take time with their figures and be thoughtful to upgrade it. And listen to the customers. Unlike shma using the same 2019 mold for like 5 years while having the same issues. And slap whatever title of the movie it's based and call it a day.
The moment when they released pics of Kong GvK and Kong GxK, I just realised how much regret after bought a SHMA Kong Gvk even though Hiya’s Godzilla line didn’t exist yet.
I’ve been wanting to get my hands on the sh monster arts showa Godzilla 1972 figure but I got to say I rather wait for a hiya toys Showa Godzilla 1972 now seeing the upgrades they been putting on their figures and in fact I basically don’t know if I want the Sh figure anymore I mean sure some of them are good but hiya I basically on another level I do hope they cook even more better figures like burning Godzilla, or Kiryu or even a Kaiser Gihdora and even figures that have never been thought to be made, imagine the possibilities man! Imagine if they make monsters that have only been on games like Bagan, or super Godzilla all though those are really unlikely it would be absolutely badass!
I only have 3 Hiyas (Goji 2019, Burning Goji, and Rodan) But I am IMPRESSED with how much Hiya listens to the critiques and continue to improve. Even their repaints will have minor tweeks and fixes. I am looking forward to 2014, Evolved, and the Toho classic lines.
I don't think they aren't going to release the evolved godzilla that is already up for preorder to wait till the updated version since they've already displayed it a few times fully painted.
i hope they re-engineer their doughegoji figures with the new articulation system too. I love looking at and posing my 2019, but being able to move him even better would be a godsend. alternate hands too
That would be amazing if they did, but if they really want to capitalize on the new designs, it would be smart on their end to only make it exclusive for the newer figures to sell more.
The only thing Hiya needs to do is retire their first Godzilla figure or update the mold. It's kinda outdated now compared to the upcoming Evolve and 2014. Thats why i havent bought the Pre-volve or Supercharged. I know the Ultimate Heat Ray is said to be better articulation.
I agree with you 1000% about SHMA. The quality of their products do not reflect what they are charging. They have gotten lazy unfortunately. It's a shame because I love SH Figuarts Star Wars figures. The fact that they have not even updated their hideous , completely non-screen accurate Kong head sculpt in years is a disgrace. How is HIYA kicking SHMA's ass, when Bandai has a much larger budget? SHMA only concerned with $$$$$ at this point and not their product. Once Hiya nails their articulation, SHMA has a real big problem. I am happy that a small company like HIYA is giving Bandai stiff competition on price and screen accurate products. Reminds me of Hot Toys and INART. Hot Toys, like SHMA got too comfortable being #1 and got lazy and here comes HIYA TOYS. Ironically, I purchase SHMA because SHMA does not scale well with my SHMA figures, but I am seriously considering cancelling my pre-orders for SHMA Shimo, Evolved Godzilla and keeping my HIYA pre-orders. I mean seriously? $240 for Shimo, when it looks like an upgraded PLAYMATES figure with articulation? Another great thing about Hiya Toys, is that they actually listen to their customer feedback and make those improvements.
Look a lot of people think I’m a hater that’s far from it, I’m here to give critical positive feedback. Like anyone else I want this company to improve over the years but as of right now I haven’t purchased any figures in five years. I no longer trust the quality and values they offer. Some people can’t stand the fact that a company like hiya toys is surpassing Monsterarts, extremely quickly in all factors including articulation which was their only biggest winning point. I get it most of them are little kids who don’t know any better, I really appreciate people like you who actually take their time to explain.
@@RubiGamingx I don't think you are a hater at all. All of your points are valid and at the end of the day, everyone has the choice to buy or not. I don't judge. If a person is happy with his or her purchase, then I am happy. Collect what you love. SHMA has fallen sub par to Hiya Toys, in screen accuracy and pricing and that's just a fact. SHMA give me a good reason to invest in your products over Hiya's. Do I hate SHMA? No. I just choose to invest my money where it is better served, better value for my money and just a better all around product. Again, I am glad that a company like Hiya came along and is giving SHMA very stiff competition. Maybe now they will raise their standards to meet their prices. Whomever runs SHMA needs to get back on track and pay attention or that person will be searching for a new position.Cheers Rubi Gaminx! Thanks for all you do! Blessings
I'm so sick of people complaining about "how trash shma figures are", but hey ig I'm the only person who likes new molds, not repaints of a certain Godzilla by hiya 20 times🙄
You both are the first non hiya glazers I've seen since they started making goji figures, I agree that most good shma figures are repaints but I feel like I'm the only person who likes the shma shimo 😔
@@Gojiboi_productions Oh, well I definitely count as a "hiya glazer", but what I will say is if anyone complains about Shma repaints, and the criticism is simply that it is a repaint, then that's blatant double standards. Secondly, Hiya really needs to work on their scheduling and being more transparent about when something will actually release
I feel like skar king is the best one cause they improved articulation from Kong I also, hiya looks like we are not gonna get it for a while (this comment is probably outdated)
I don't hate S.H.Monsterarts but it's just their figures are not looking good. Oh and the other day as I'm writing this comment my S.H.Monsterarts gigan 1972 fell of my shelf accidently and one of the wings broke off + and one of the claws at the side of gigan's mouth broke off as well. But yeah hiya is definitely better than S.H.Monsterarts! And I hope the hiya Godzilla 2014 comes out soon!
Old one. They would need to make the shipping take longer just to get new ones out as the old one was announced nearly half a year ago. The new one will be a different figure thst you can buy.
@ParrotsAccount Hiya themselves stated that we will get the new one same with heisei Godzilla 1991 (base) they stated that we will get the same articulation and same sculp like the heateay ver.
Been a Monsterarts collector since 2012 and man has this line fallen off hard. We still get bangers from time to time but the consistency is gone and the line isn't worth the premium anymore. Hiya really has stolen the throne by the looks of it, and I'm glad to see it. Bandai Tamashii is not handling the property well.
I do think hiya is way better the only figure i don't really like is their kong I'm not hating he looks amazing don't get me wrong i just personally don't really like his head and arms i prefer the sh kong but that's the only one everything else hiya has done is way better than sh though
I would agree the older Kong was not perfect, It had a lot of flaws with articulation. Now when you look at the newer 2024 it appears like articulation and facial details have been significantly upgraded.
I don't like Sh Monsterarts because I don't like the Cheap Plastic Sh Monsterarts used. I've got my 1972 Sh Monsterarts Godzilla. The soft, smooth joints on the thigh and the base of the tail is so soft, so smooth it literally feels like those joints on the figure are Extremely Loose. But I'm pretty sure that's the design Sh Monsterarts purposely wanted for this Godzilla 1972 figure to be so smooth, soft and fully posable. It's crappy and extremely cheap for me and it's not worth $100. You mention Accessories, I don't care about accessories unless it Improves the Figures and it's not just Godzilla figures, it's Any Figures. Hiya Toys made the Energized Godzilla 2024 and it came with 2 fist hands OK, is that supposed to improve the figure? I'd rather buy a small white led light and see the Energized Godzilla in his pure and clear see threw blue then 2 set of fist hands. Again, to me the accessories need to be necessary and make the Figure Better if not then I'm not buying a figure with Unnecessary Accessories. I remember a few TH-camrs complain about Hiya Toys Godzilla 2021 and 2019 Godzilla figures. The abdomen for the Hiya Toys Godzilla should have more articulation in the abdomen beside just a One cut on the side movement and they're saying Godzilla can only move sideway. I agree because Hiya Toys nowadays is aiming for Extremely Amazing articulation but, what about that abdomen area is that all we're getting for that part is just side movements for all these New Releases from Hiya Toys? At least Sh Monsterarts they focus on the area of the abdomen making Godzilla's abdomen move smooth and realistic like real Humans. Imagine if Godzilla couldn't move his abdomen very low almost touching his own thighs Godzilla wouldn't be able to run or hunch down looking for his enemy or his kid! Yeah, Hiya Toys work on those Abdomen PLEASE! I don't care about posable spines, I don't care about unnecessary accessories I barely use Accessories from Sh Monsterarts or Hiya Toys. Just give me a Extremely Realistic Amazingly posable Godzilla figures from the franchises and make the Godzilla as Accurate to the Suits and CGI as humanly possible and very nicely paint job.
I'm prefer both of the companies, Hiya is for film accuracy collection for me. While shmonsterart same but they have many then just a Godzilla, the shmonsterart have kaiju articulated figure from ultraman and monster from monster hunter game even not many as Godzilla. But i can say they should improve they quality because for the kaiju articulated like gomora, eleking, redking, black king & king of the monster seems don't have any problems same like monster hunter tigrex, rathalos, mizutsune, sinogre & rajang Also same to another kaiju articulated figure like gamera also no many big issues as Godzilla... That it's from my opinion The problem of shmonsterart is just for only Godzilla figure starting from detailing sculp, paint job to articulate but not all some of them is ok
The lesson we can learn here is you can't go to the direction you want everytime, sometimes you should listen to people around you, those you trust And I agree with you, you can't rush the masterpiece
Exactly that method isn’t working for them anymore, I think they can still make a great comeback. it’s only a matter of them willing to try to deliver top-tier quality in every aspect.
Hiya toys does need to communicate a little better. We still don’t know what’s going on with the 2 evolved gojis. Is the prototype replacing? Is it gonna be delayed? Are we getting both versions? I just want some answers from them.
Hiya be wining but when will hiya make a GvK Mechagodzilla because the only one that is out right now is a Over price silver dinosaur (Mechagodzilla)and a new one, which was just a revealed and that 1 looks so good and 2 has Accessories that were much needed.
I’m not sure why people are confused about it? I don’t think it’s 2 different figures. What’s happening here is the older Godzilla is getting upgraded, everyone who preordered Godzilla evolved should get this updated ver.
@@RubiGamingx the reason everyone is confused is because pictures of the un updated version were shown at the same place the upgraded 2014 and evolved. I might be wrong though.
Like I’ve said (many times) monsterarts is still good. I hope they listen to the criticism and try to improve. I also don’t believe it’s entirely their fault, because they’ve mostly gotten concept art from legendary n such. I love SHMA and I think they can improve. I have faith
I like to believe the same thing unfortunately that argument breaks apart, when they’ve had years to access the files and still aren’t able to provide any significant upgrades. Take for example Mothra nothing has been changed except the paint. If they want to make any significant change to bring back the fans they’ve lost, their actions will have to speak louder than words.
Dude, I’d rather get Hiya Toys over MonsterArts. Although I do have one thing I need to point out… Why does it look like one of “Upgraded” Evo Goji’s spikes has a ball joint in timestamp 8:14? It could be something else, I dunno. I’m still getting Hiya over Mid-sterArts.
I think that is one of the new things they are trying out. It is supposed to look more accurate when godzilla is turning. I think it looks good and you can’t really complain about extra joints considering you are buying an action figure.😂
I heard one saying is to cover any gaps when you move his torso. I honestly can't believe back then shma use to be our only alternative for a godzilla figure.
SHMA Godzilla figures for sure suck rn but you gotta give credit where credit is due, their yugioh and monster hunter figures are peak,mostly because they have no competitors.
Honestly shma isn’t that bad. It’s just the poor Quality that makes posing and animation a pain in the ass. And my broke ass still has to look at the price, so I can’t get them anyways.
It's no lies that s.h.monsterarts as a line has fell off, every purchase of their figures feel like a gamble, i just keep praying that there won't be any QC issues every time I click pay, now i just hope Hiya can continue their quality and keep on improving cause I have enough of shm's bullshit, i just want a good Shin and Minus one Godzilla figure that is accurate to what's shown on the promote images

You’re not wrong I never thought I would’ve seen Godzilla do that, that’s them feeling extremely confident willing to pose their prototype that way.
Damn didn't know I had the top comment, thanks yall😊
At this point I see absolutely zero value in buying Monsterarts anymore
Besides Gamera
Monsterarts cooks with Gamera 👍
I don’t buy anything anymore, even that new mechagodzilla 2021 it’s a hard pass for me. They’ve lost my trust & money.

Competition is on fleek right now.
The thing not a lot of people realize is that yes shma has gone down over the years but Bandai does NOT need your money from this line which means they really don’t care they put these out as a side way to get money
Monsterarts only makes a portion of the whole company, I’m sure there are other divisions providing successful income to them.
Those who have switched over to other companies are likely not to return to them.
S.h. monsterarts: nooo! You just a slightly better version of neca! You can't do things as good as we did! Our shimo figure has same feet as funko pop of her and costs 299$! This is the royal quality!
Hiya: lol we made movie accurate shimo with fully articulated fingers for 69$ :]
Wow that’s a amazing 🔥
And that's one of reasons why I stop collecting Monsterarts since 2019 since Tamashii Nations (or Bandai) doesn't care about fans. I stop collecting Monsterarts because they're too expensive, shelf space, qc issues and most of figures don't look accurate to suits/CG models from movies.
It's insane how back then, shma was our only alternative for any godzilla figure. Looks like hiya will take that title. As it should be. because they actually take time with their figures and be thoughtful to upgrade it. And listen to the customers. Unlike shma using the same 2019 mold for like 5 years while having the same issues. And slap whatever title of the movie it's based and call it a day.
I respect your opinion but shelf space? They are smaller than hiya figures so that makes no sense
@@ParrotsAccount ture but some boxes can be long if you look at it
The moment when they released pics of Kong GvK and Kong GxK, I just realised how much regret after bought a SHMA Kong Gvk even though Hiya’s Godzilla line didn’t exist yet.
this makes me thing that that one leak of SHMA new sculpt that can curl into a ball like that one Rome scene.. WAS JUST A HIYA LEAK-
Ngl i do like these but im more hyped if they do keizer ghidorah ngl
I’ve been wanting to get my hands on the sh monster arts showa Godzilla 1972 figure but I got to say I rather wait for a hiya toys Showa Godzilla 1972 now seeing the upgrades they been putting on their figures and in fact I basically don’t know if I want the Sh figure anymore I mean sure some of them are good but hiya I basically on another level I do hope they cook even more better figures like burning Godzilla, or Kiryu or even a Kaiser Gihdora and even figures that have never been thought to be made, imagine the possibilities man! Imagine if they make monsters that have only been on games like Bagan, or super Godzilla all though those are really unlikely it would be absolutely badass!
I only have 3 Hiyas (Goji 2019, Burning Goji, and Rodan) But I am IMPRESSED with how much Hiya listens to the critiques and continue to improve. Even their repaints will have minor tweeks and fixes. I am looking forward to 2014, Evolved, and the Toho classic lines.
I literally have no hiyas- (im about to get two hiya kong bg and evolved)
I agree
I don't think they aren't going to release the evolved godzilla that is already up for preorder to wait till the updated version since they've already displayed it a few times fully painted.
Down, down the Hiya Road…Down the Hiya Road!!!
No wonder why there release dates are long as hell so they could come up with upgrades while in the making
i hope they re-engineer their doughegoji figures with the new articulation system too. I love looking at and posing my 2019, but being able to move him even better would be a godsend. alternate hands too
That would be amazing if they did, but if they really want to capitalize on the new designs, it would be smart on their end to only make it exclusive for the newer figures to sell more.
Monster arts Toho figures > hiya legendary figures >
Now that they upgraded the goji evolved willl it affect my pre order? Willl I get the new one or the old one
You'll get the new one
You will get the old one. The new one will be a different order
@@ParrotsAccount I don’t think so they told me we gonna get the new updated one !
@ParrotsAccount
Ur in every reply glazing sh monster arts sorry what new pre order? Stop capping
The only thing Hiya needs to do is retire their first Godzilla figure or update the mold. It's kinda outdated now compared to the upcoming Evolve and 2014. Thats why i havent bought the Pre-volve or Supercharged. I know the Ultimate Heat Ray is said to be better articulation.
I wonder when hiya toys is going to make a Skar king action figure
I agree with you 1000% about SHMA. The quality of their products do not reflect what they are charging. They have gotten lazy unfortunately. It's a shame because I love SH Figuarts Star Wars figures. The fact that they have not even updated their hideous , completely non-screen accurate Kong head sculpt in years is a disgrace. How is HIYA kicking SHMA's ass, when Bandai has a much larger budget? SHMA only concerned with $$$$$ at this point and not their product. Once Hiya nails their articulation, SHMA has a real big problem. I am happy that a small company like HIYA is giving Bandai stiff competition on price and screen accurate products. Reminds me of Hot Toys and INART. Hot Toys, like SHMA got too comfortable being #1 and got lazy and here comes HIYA TOYS. Ironically, I purchase SHMA because SHMA does not scale well with my SHMA figures, but I am seriously considering cancelling my pre-orders for SHMA Shimo, Evolved Godzilla and keeping my HIYA pre-orders. I mean seriously? $240 for Shimo, when it looks like an upgraded PLAYMATES figure with articulation? Another great thing about Hiya Toys, is that they actually listen to their customer feedback and make those improvements.
Look a lot of people think I’m a hater that’s far from it, I’m here to give critical positive feedback. Like anyone else I want this company to improve over the years but as of right now I haven’t purchased any figures in five years. I no longer trust the quality and values they offer.
Some people can’t stand the fact that a company like hiya toys is surpassing Monsterarts, extremely quickly in all factors including articulation which was their only biggest winning point.
I get it most of them are little kids who don’t know any better, I really appreciate people like you who actually take their time to explain.
@@RubiGamingx I don't think you are a hater at all. All of your points are valid and at the end of the day, everyone has the choice to buy or not. I don't judge. If a person is happy with his or her purchase, then I am happy. Collect what you love. SHMA has fallen sub par to Hiya Toys, in screen accuracy and pricing and that's just a fact. SHMA give me a good reason to invest in your products over Hiya's. Do I hate SHMA? No. I just choose to invest my money where it is better served, better value for my money and just a better all around product. Again, I am glad that a company like Hiya came along and is giving SHMA very stiff competition. Maybe now they will raise their standards to meet their prices. Whomever runs SHMA needs to get back on track and pay attention or that person will be searching for a new position.Cheers Rubi Gaminx! Thanks for all you do! Blessings
Shut up
i love sh monsterarts 😍😍😍🥰🥰❤️😏 more than hiya🤔🤔🤔😛
I know SH can cook, yet they choose not to for some reason
Shemales built like a dog 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
That’s fine. After all, it’s your wallet.
@@windowsVD thank you for accepting me hiya fan🤝🏿😌😉
Normal sh fanboys won't act like a femboy ur a ragebaiter 2/10 bait try harder
Question: is the upgraded evolved Godzilla gonna be a separate release or is it gonna be the figure which comes next month?
Business is booming
Ik ben eerlijk ik ben geen godzilla fen maar ik moet toe geven deze fibers zien er cooluit
So are we still gonna get Godzilla evolve this month?
I'm so sick of people complaining about "how trash shma figures are", but hey ig I'm the only person who likes new molds, not repaints of a certain Godzilla by hiya 20 times🙄
Hiya fans will whine about shma repainting, failing to pay attention to the company they are defending. Classic hiya glazers.
At this point, I'm kinda the opposite for Shma
The only good figures they're releasing now are repaints lol 😅
You both
are the first non hiya glazers I've seen since they started making goji figures, I agree that most good shma figures are repaints but I feel like I'm the only person who likes the shma shimo 😔
@@Gojiboi_productions Oh, well I definitely count as a "hiya glazer", but what I will say is if anyone complains about Shma repaints, and the criticism is simply that it is a repaint, then that's blatant double standards.
Secondly, Hiya really needs to work on their scheduling and being more transparent about when something will actually release
They do upgraded repaints unlike shma, and yes shma makes trash figures since 2021 and sh shimo looks very uh weird at best
I feel like skar king is the best one cause they improved articulation from Kong I also, hiya looks like we are not gonna get it for a while (this comment is probably outdated)
Wonder when the new hiya evolved Godzilla will go on pre order?
The only down side to the g14 of hiyas is that I think the dorsal are way to small compared to the rest of the body
Typically, they’ve always done that design with very short dorsal plates :/ I like the bigger spikes.
If you really look at the reference images from the movie, you’d see that Godzilla 2014 really does have fairly short dorsal plates.
I don't hate S.H.Monsterarts but it's just their figures are not looking good. Oh and the other day as I'm writing this comment my S.H.Monsterarts gigan 1972 fell of my shelf accidently and one of the wings broke off + and one of the claws at the side of gigan's mouth broke off as well.
But yeah hiya is definitely better than S.H.Monsterarts!
And I hope the hiya Godzilla 2014 comes out soon!
Poor gigan :(
He did not rise:(
@@thesteelsquid863 i'm slowly repairing gigan
@@sajinge1023 gigan rise :D
My upgrade hiya toys Godzilla 2014
i think sh monsterarts have really stepped it up now that they have competition i think hiya is actually good for them
With all due respect, wdym "as some people call it"?? Shimo is the kaiju's official name. You can't pronounce 'Shimo' as 'Shimu'
Honestly no hate or anything but sometimes shma is hit or miss,anyways love ur content 😅
Bro thinks he's Terminator💀
6:47
He has that epic pose ready!
Now that they upgraded the Goji evolved will it affect my pre order, will i get the new one or the old?
New
You'll get the new one. They said the same with the heisei godzilla when they upgraded him.
Old one. They would need to make the shipping take longer just to get new ones out as the old one was announced nearly half a year ago. The new one will be a different figure thst you can buy.
@ParrotsAccount
Hiya themselves stated that we will get the new one same with heisei Godzilla 1991 (base) they stated that we will get the same articulation and same sculp like the heateay ver.
Been a Monsterarts collector since 2012 and man has this line fallen off hard. We still get bangers from time to time but the consistency is gone and the line isn't worth the premium anymore.
Hiya really has stolen the throne by the looks of it, and I'm glad to see it. Bandai Tamashii is not handling the property well.
I do think hiya is way better the only figure i don't really like is their kong I'm not hating he looks amazing don't get me wrong i just personally don't really like his head and arms i prefer the sh kong but that's the only one everything else hiya has done is way better than sh though
I would agree the older Kong was not perfect, It had a lot of flaws with articulation. Now when you look at the newer 2024 it appears like articulation and facial details have been significantly upgraded.
These people forgot who put them here in the first place
Sh monsterarts didn’t even try.
I don't like Sh Monsterarts because I don't like the Cheap Plastic Sh Monsterarts used. I've got my 1972 Sh Monsterarts Godzilla. The soft, smooth joints on the thigh and the base of the tail is so soft, so smooth it literally feels like those joints on the figure are Extremely Loose. But I'm pretty sure that's the design Sh Monsterarts purposely wanted for this Godzilla 1972 figure to be so smooth, soft and fully posable. It's crappy and extremely cheap for me and it's not worth $100. You mention Accessories, I don't care about accessories unless it Improves the Figures and it's not just Godzilla figures, it's Any Figures. Hiya Toys made the Energized Godzilla 2024 and it came with 2 fist hands OK, is that supposed to improve the figure? I'd rather buy a small white led light and see the Energized Godzilla in his pure and clear see threw blue then 2 set of fist hands. Again, to me the accessories need to be necessary and make the Figure Better if not then I'm not buying a figure with Unnecessary Accessories. I remember a few TH-camrs complain about Hiya Toys Godzilla 2021 and 2019 Godzilla figures. The abdomen for the Hiya Toys Godzilla should have more articulation in the abdomen beside just a One cut on the side movement and they're saying Godzilla can only move sideway. I agree because Hiya Toys nowadays is aiming for Extremely Amazing articulation but, what about that abdomen area is that all we're getting for that part is just side movements for all these New Releases from Hiya Toys? At least Sh Monsterarts they focus on the area of the abdomen making Godzilla's abdomen move smooth and realistic like real Humans. Imagine if Godzilla couldn't move his abdomen very low almost touching his own thighs Godzilla wouldn't be able to run or hunch down looking for his enemy or his kid! Yeah, Hiya Toys work on those Abdomen PLEASE! I don't care about posable spines, I don't care about unnecessary accessories I barely use Accessories from Sh Monsterarts or Hiya Toys. Just give me a Extremely Realistic Amazingly posable Godzilla figures from the franchises and make the Godzilla as Accurate to the Suits and CGI as humanly possible and very nicely paint job.
I'm prefer both of the companies,
Hiya is for film accuracy collection for me.
While shmonsterart same but they have many then just a Godzilla, the shmonsterart have kaiju articulated figure from ultraman and monster from monster hunter game even not many as Godzilla. But i can say they should improve they quality because for the kaiju articulated like gomora, eleking, redking, black king & king of the monster seems don't have any problems same like monster hunter tigrex, rathalos, mizutsune, sinogre & rajang
Also same to another kaiju articulated figure like gamera also no many big issues as Godzilla...
That it's from my opinion
The problem of shmonsterart is just for only Godzilla figure starting from detailing sculp, paint job to articulate but not all some of them is ok
The lesson we can learn here is you can't go to the direction you want everytime, sometimes you should listen to people around you, those you trust
And I agree with you, you can't rush the masterpiece
Exactly that method isn’t working for them anymore, I think they can still make a great comeback. it’s only a matter of them willing to try to deliver top-tier quality in every aspect.
Hiya toys does need to communicate a little better. We still don’t know what’s going on with the 2 evolved gojis. Is the prototype replacing? Is it gonna be delayed? Are we getting both versions? I just want some answers from them.
As a silksong fan, just be happy you have updates on the figure at all 😭
Hiya be wining but when will hiya make a GvK Mechagodzilla because the only one that is out right now is a Over price silver dinosaur (Mechagodzilla)and a new one, which was just a revealed and that 1 looks so good and 2 has Accessories that were much needed.
Is the upgraded evo godzilla going to be a seperate figure for purchase? I pre ordered the first one from bbts and it hasn’t released yet
I’m not sure why people are confused about it? I don’t think it’s 2 different figures. What’s happening here is the older Godzilla is getting upgraded, everyone who preordered Godzilla evolved should get this updated ver.
@@RubiGamingx the reason everyone is confused is because pictures of the un updated version were shown at the same place the upgraded 2014 and evolved. I might be wrong though.
The un updated evolved was also fully painted in the pictures
8:33 is that a posable dorsal???
Indeed it is
I like that shimo dont judge me >:(
From shma
You’re free to like anything.
Where did you find those picture's of the hiya figures thats shows evolved Godzilla kneeling down
That was sent to me privately by a good friend of mine that always informs me.
@@RubiGamingx ahhh
So are you saying after someone orders the Godzilla evolved they’re going to get an upgrade instead of the old version
I would assume automatically everybody is going to receive the upgraded version.
@@RubiGamingx and I already told my uncle to get Godzilla evolved the old version or the upgrade version. Tell me please.
@@LazarusSimpsondon't worry you're gonna get the new one. They said the same when they upgraded the heisei godzilla.
@@RubiGamingx what will happen when everyone get the old one
Like I’ve said (many times) monsterarts is still good. I hope they listen to the criticism and try to improve. I also don’t believe it’s entirely their fault, because they’ve mostly gotten concept art from legendary n such. I love SHMA and I think they can improve. I have faith
I like to believe the same thing unfortunately that argument breaks apart, when they’ve had years to access the files and still aren’t able to provide any significant upgrades. Take for example Mothra nothing has been changed except the paint. If they want to make any significant change to bring back the fans they’ve lost, their actions will have to speak louder than words.
@@RubiGamingx I agree. I don’t know why they do some of that stuff, but I do believe they can get better
LazyArts???? Bro really💀💀💀💀
Im still buying shma but not there monsterverse figures, hiya is simply better in that area
No they're not
That’s true from time to time they do deliver great figures, the monsterverse isn’t their strongest.
Until the new SHMA’s final battle MG was announced
Which costs one of my kidneys
current (released figures): SHMA is so much better and i take it over hiya any and every day
but new figures..: Hiya. must i explain???
Dude, I’d rather get Hiya Toys over MonsterArts. Although I do have one thing I need to point out…
Why does it look like one of “Upgraded” Evo Goji’s spikes has a ball joint in timestamp 8:14?
It could be something else, I dunno. I’m still getting Hiya over Mid-sterArts.
I think that is one of the new things they are trying out. It is supposed to look more accurate when godzilla is turning. I think it looks good and you can’t really complain about extra joints considering you are buying an action figure.😂
@@decoyreggieyt4621 eh, fair enough 😅
I heard one saying is to cover any gaps when you move his torso. I honestly can't believe back then shma use to be our only alternative for a godzilla figure.
It is I’ve mentioned it in the video. It’s a dorsal plate that incorporates movement when you look side to side with your figure.
SHMA Godzilla figures for sure suck rn but you gotta give credit where credit is due, their yugioh and monster hunter figures are peak,mostly because they have no competitors.
Honestly shma isn’t that bad. It’s just the poor Quality that makes posing and animation a pain in the ass.
And my broke ass still has to look at the price, so I can’t get them anyways.
and when will they be put on sale ?
That’s a good question. I can only assume they’ll do a community update on their updated release.
It's no lies that s.h.monsterarts as a line has fell off, every purchase of their figures feel like a gamble, i just keep praying that there won't be any QC issues every time I click pay, now i just hope Hiya can continue their quality and keep on improving cause I have enough of shm's bullshit, i just want a good Shin and Minus one Godzilla figure that is accurate to what's shown on the promote images
Night version shin Godzilla is a good figure, awakening is as well
I only have 1 sh shin Godzilla because of that helling prize I mean *$200!?*
Nice
