Its about time we got affordable Godzilla figures with great sculpt and articulation. As much as i liked the neca figures and respect the old Monsterarts figures i think this is the absolute way to go nowadays. Monsterarts is way too expensive nowadays and the QC has severely dropped with my Final wars figure falling apart so much i had to return him. Super 7 joining the party is cool but $85 for what should be $40-$55 figures is quite irritating to earn a skip from me. The hiya figures are thankfully the medium of what i need. Good pricing, great sculpt, and little issues around. I really hope they can make some classic figures sometime in the future
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Hiya Toys is Killing it, with these new Godzilla Figures, cannot wait for mine to arrive, cannot wait for the other Monsterverse Figures, and cannot wait to see what they have planned for the Toho Line.
Also going to be cool once they make the other Titans like methuselah, behemoth, Scylla, and the others to in the monsterverse. Also going to be awesome seeing there Toho line. Wonder if they will be able to make the other Kaijus and not just Godzilla’s.
For me, I really liked this figure. The sculpting was amazing. The level of the detail on the figure was very appreciated. I am a slightly upset that it didn’t come with a ray but it’s fine
I like the improved sculpt and the new neck, but I’m just going to wait for the the rerelease of 2021 because I prefer that version’s darker paint scheme.
The dorsal plates on the 2019 hiya looks super detailed and crisp, really great sculpting work, and the other details on the figure to. I’ve also heard they will make the rest of the monsterverse kaiju, and hope they do, such as methuselah, behemoth, Scylla, muto queen, flying muto, warbat, red skull crawler, mechagodzilla, and Godzilla 2014. Also going to be cool seeing there toho Godzilla line, hopefully they start with the showa era first. Also looking forward to Godzilla, kong the new empire hiya figures as well. Also would be awesome if hiya toys got the licenses to Jurassic park, world and ray harryhausen, and King Kong 1933, 2005, and joe devitos King Kong as well.
As someone who own this figure, I agree that I have the same issue with some joints like the tail being stuck and the arms and shoulders could've been better. While also have to say that the neck could've have more range with another joint in the middle, instead of being just a single double ball joint system. Other than that, really quite an improvement and quite pleased & happy with the release. Let's hope Hiya improve their game later down the line
i tryd to but one of it seem very tight and so i dint continue anymore, now i can turn right preety good but left look will since one joint is not moving hahaha @@GodzillaHorrorGuy
Just pre ordered the updated version of godzilla vs kong, it seems they've changed the head & color. Very excited to see the final result :D Between the two of the video i prefer the King of monsters version tought...
I was on the fence between this one and the updated GvK Godzilla figure that’s on preorder. But I ultimately decided on the latter. I’m really excited to get him, especially due to its similarities with this particular figure. On another note, and I’m sure you answer this on a regular, what kind of buildings do you use to set up shots for your monster figured? Love that Bandai/Japan Airlines one in particular. Cheers!
A few of them look like some eyepopdesigns stuff, mainly the falling apart buildings. Can't say for sure about the rest but Tomytec model train buildings work super well with 6-7 inch scale figures
Unfortunately heat ray Godzilla won’t come with building effects. I’m surprised Mothra didn’t come with them. She seems like the perfect figure to come with one or two. Also just to give warning that I’ve heard from a few reviewers that the head swapping on heat ray Godzilla was really cumbersome. One of them had to use hot water to get the other head on. Other than that it’s a beautiful figure.
Yeah I have the heat ray ver. I was repeadtly stabbing myself with the dorsal spines trying to swab heads. The neck piece is just too large to fit so I just stayed with the og head.
Great review! Just got mine and love the bulkiness and detail of him compared to the monster arts versions. He does need better articulation but to me it's not a deal breaker. If Hiya keeps this up, .monster arts is in trouble
My only criticism about this figure is colour, the orange-ish part of the paint is too light but overall it's perfect, have a better accuracy than S.H MonsterArts
Actually I pefer it because every Godzilla figure is super black and this went more CGI like and it looks amazing and you can see the details so much better
PSA Guys: I decided to find out why my copy is stiff on some joints on the tail, and I found that some of the dumbbell joints were superglued to the sockets, which shocked me to be honest. I had to gently, but firmly free those dumbbell joints, so that they can move on their sockets. Now the tail is able to do more natural curves. So, for those of you who have a copy of this figure and have stiff tail joints, check if the dumbbell joints have been superglued to the sockets
I really love the sculpt on this figure but I don’t think it’s the best yet. Because of the articulation, the SHMA Monsterverse Godzilla still has way better articulation. So for me they’re tied because they both beat each other in different categories.
@@StevensToyReviewsI'm sorry for making you use Google Translate, To be fair Godzilla 2021 has a different eye sculpt and it also seems to me to look a little more robust and also the facial expression seems to be a little more intimidating.
@@EliseoMRAgreed The Updated Hiya Toys Godzilla 2021 IMO Is Much Better Than The 2019 Release The 2019 For Looks Like He Emerged From Sand Like The Neca *Cough Cough* Legacy Of Monsters, The 2021 Looks Much Darker And His Eyes Look More Intimidating And The Head-sculpt Makes Him More Menacing But Its Your Choice
Not necessarily, both figures are extremely similar in design (same as the films) and the only significant differences in design for both g19 and g21 in their films is just the dorsal plates being sharper looking on g21 (and g21 having a redesigned face but how redesigned it was is unknown). As for these figures, the only difference outside of the paint is definitely the head designs between the two (similar but somewhat different). Overall, paint wise, g19 doesn't fit gvk, he's more battle scarred looking which fits how godzilla looked at the end of kotm. G21 (both original and upgraded) fits gvk more in comparison. It's the heat ray g21 figure that looks more like kotm than gvk.
@@Kaiju-bm4ts i would agree with the standards being very similar but the Heat Ray GvK Figure look's nowhere near the one from KOTM as it has its neck , eyes , mouth AND chest glowing which could've been based off of the Hong Kong downbreath scene and Hiya toys most likely already has a heat ray version for their KOTM which is way more vibrant with just its dorsals and eyes being blue
@@Dirteater123 That is potentially true but given how it comes with a alternative neck/head that is looking upwards in a very suspicious way to a certain scene from kotm, it doesn't help that's figure's case if it's meant to be based off godzilla in gvk shooting down into the hollow earth. Godzilla's neck was glowing blue when he shot his atomic breath into the sky in kotm meanwhile his entire body (even his arms to a extent both during the charge up and afterwards) were glowing blue in gvk while he shot towards the hollow earth. If the figure is meant to be gvk based, then the accessories and paint are a bit misleading in regards to that and not even fully accurate as they're should be more blue throughout his body, sh monsterarts poster version g19 and neca atomic blast g19 kind of got that blue paint spread out much better. Both are based off kotm's posters but both look coincidentally accurate to how godzilla looked when shooting his atomic breath into the hollow earth Throughout the majority of gvk, whenever godzilla did use his atomic breath, only his eyes and dorsal plates were blue. That lines up more with the alternative heat ray hiya godzilla figure, especially when that's the same paint job sh monsterarts g21 got
@@Kaiju-bm4ts true but if you have discord i could show you the 2019 heat ray version which i saw on a hiya twitter post but uh the upbreath on their GvK figure was indeed suspicious but it might be just for people to buy it or to see people's reaction on how it works and looks in person(OR maybe its for the upbreath scene when he was underwater aiming at the carrier from bellow)
@@somedudewhodraws9377 good luck, with eyes and pupils as small as those, it wouldn't shock me if it comes off as a challenge for you. Like the reviewer said, you can't expect companies to give perfect eye paint on such small eyes
The difference is the 2019 is what the 2021 should have been. It's the more accurate version and I wish you'd just say that. They should have just called it "monsterverse godzilla."
Please stop making it seem like tha designs are different. The model from 2019 is the same in 2021. They're the same therefore the figure is the same. The DIFFERENCE AGAIN IS the first one is less accurate and sloppy in comparison

Definitely getting this and ghidorah
I’ve bought it today and it’s awesome.
Unfortunately, in Brazil it is very difficult to find these incredible figures.
The look a whole lot better than the Neca one, god those were so derpy
The figure is alright in terms of sculpt & price.
