SHMA Paintjob Budget Cut Edition

Hiya Scar King

>>11568252 (OP)
welp, there goes some excitement.

>>11568252 (OP)
Fucking hell. The paint is getting to playmates level bad. Like how the fuck does the HIYA look better for more than half the price?

>>11568252 (OP)
whys it painted like a neca figure?

>>11568252 (OP)
>130 dollar figure with tax and shipping costing another 20-30 dollars

>>11568425
If it was painted like a Neca figure it'd actually look good.

>>11568532
...on opposite day.

>>11568535
No, on regular day. Every day.

>>11568538
Oh yeah well your mother’s a whore.

>>11568252 (OP)
and they will STILL defend this over Hiya.
Hiyabros stay winning.

>>11568654
>Hiyabros stay winning
I can't win unless they start importing again. I want to win.

>>11568654
Hiya can't make it to the states

>>11568690
If they can't, then why did I get notified that my 1991 Godzilla shipped out this week?

>>11568252 (OP)
You know it's bad when the fucking movie monster series 2.0 has a better paintjob than this

Post Ghidorahs

Anyway.

>>11568831
Looks worse than I thought.

monkey

Any news on a new shin godzilla? I hope hiya makes one someday.

>>11568858
No, other than another repaint of the Monsterarts that comes with some cardboard.

>>11568860
The trans purple looks great though.

>>11568829
love me sachiel

>>11568860
That cardboard is worth half a Monsterarts you know.

>>11568869
I'd trade that non matching cardboard for the lower split jaw

>>11568853
>Release time: 2026Q3
Told anon a couple threads ago he was coming next year!

>>11568252 (OP)
Has this gone up for order yet?

>>11569079
Not for the US Godzilla Store yet. But the figure been out for a few weeks now.

>>11568823
>why did I get notified that my 1991 Godzilla shipped out this week?
I'm still waiting on mine, Ghidorah and Shimo finally just went up

>>11568252 (OP)
lol

>>11568823
>>11568690
Then why is my Kg in a AMERICAN wharehouser waiting for me to bring him home. A little delay, nothing more

>>11569547
Distributors fall through and get replaced all the time, some people in these threads just have a massive hateboner for hiya and want them to fail.

>>11569403
This line got hit with the Bell's palsy lol

What's the gimmick with godziburst that the youtube shorts are trying to sell?

should I get super7 ultimates mechagodzilla 2 or is he cheeks?

>>11570976
I think a lot of people have theirs

>>11568252 (OP)
Does Skibidi Toilet count as "kaiju"?
These badboys are on sale for $40 at my local Costco. 24" of glory.
I bet the pair of them would stomp the fuck out of Lamezilla.

>>11571219
No...

>>11569079
I want this thing soo bad. But the review of him from jobby scared me. The one he had the wings broke off the box. Im afraid Tamashi is using the same old mold on the rerelease and it will have the same problems..

>>11571219
How was the skibidi toilet guy legally able to capitalize on this? I dont know anything about the situation does valve not give a shit?

>>11572591
Valve apparently settled it last year, and think they now get a cut of every thing skibiddi gets sold.

>>11572591
>>11572622
Wait, what? Was Skibidi Toilet stolen from a Valve game or something?

>>11572696
the animations were all made with gmod assets

>>11572696
>>11572701
Yeah, I think the original source of the head of used from a janitor NPC from Half Life, but not sure it was from the first or second game. But the actual video and model render was from G-Mod. Basically Valve did file cease and desist, which was settled in court June of last year which I think was that SKbiddi can remain and be profited of, but they have to send valve a check for every purchase. TDLR, the Skbiddi people are basically in rent mode.

Almost the same price as Destroyah and all it comes with is a few mini figures

Any idea for a decor for a godzilla? I bought the hiya from 91 as my first, I made some buildings and a road but I'm still hesitant about the layout

>>11572890
Jfc what are they thinking

>>11572890
Im convinced they're trying to simultaneously kill off the line while milking it for whatever it's got left.

>>11572960
Mean with Hiya now making Toho era monsters molds. It's no doubt they found their little ace in the hole to finally cash out and go back to focusing on stuff they themselves would prefer to make. And that being anime figures for Tamashi, and vinyl for Bandai

>>11572890
I can't afford this line anymore. Jesus.

mutos are cool

Apparently Blokees just got the Godzilla license, anyone have any other of their stuff? Never heard of them before not sure what to expect.

>>11572975
They're a welcomed addition.

>>11572966
>anymore
MA line has been a shitshow price-wise for a while now.

>>11572976
From it seems, it looks they're mostly known for transformer gatcha toy boxes. Which Godzilla has few of those currently with play mates and Bandai.

>>11572975
If I get no other Hiya figures, I need to get MUTO, Behemoth, and Scylla.

>>11572975
Shame they haven't made the male one

>>11572890
Imma get the Destroyah but after that it's strictly Hiya from here on out. Depending on how they're gonna handle Mire Goji but judging from leaked screenshots >>11568252 (OP) my hopes are kinda low.

>>11572976
I've got a good amount of their kamen rider and pokemon figures, and they've mostly been great. Can't wait to see what they'll do with the godzilla IP.

>>11573579
Are Blokees prebuilt model kits or actual figures?

So the Godzilla 89 and super x2 it a new line of mms figures since now they’re releasing this on the premium store

>>11573700
They're kind of a mix of both. They come pre-painted and sometimes certain parts come pre-assembled. Once built, they actually feel like solid action figures. I've never been a big fan of model kits because of how light and fragile they feel, but blokees don't feel that way at all.

>>11573703
>Bandai finally makes a Showa Mothra iteration for the line
>It gets the dead sos turtle treatment
>Also they used 1968 Godzilla instead of second half 1964 Godzilla

If they fuck my boy Rodan up gonna flip my gourd

>>11572890
there is NO fucking reason for that price tag. Fuck em.

>>11573707
Fuckin' hell man

>>11568831
It’s like when doc martins sold out and started making boots in Vietnam instead of England
So disappointing

>>11573703
Why is Mothra so small? Was the larva actually that size in those movies?

>>11573703
That looks pretty bad

>Gigan Rex and Godzilla Rex will be given reissues at the US Godzilla Store in November
Total scalper death

>>11574832
If only we could be so lucky.

>>11574835
But we are. Also could very well mean we may get another chapter of this series after they skipped last year. Maybe Titanosaurus is the next monster they do after when they skipped on what could've been King Caesar.

so should i get the shma g2k or the hiya? no doubt the hiya is gonna be more accurate, but the fun factor wont be there since less articulation

Titanic Creations posed a preview of their Cityscape set. Also, looks like their Titanicus needs 17 more orders by October 3rd to fund.

>>11574846
>Skipped King Caesar and Mechagodzilla last year for Ghidorah and Jet Jaguar and so we can have a proper tag team match with Godzilla/Caesar vs. Mechagodzilla/Titanosaurus from Gemstone.
I'm not holding out for anything, but would be based.

>>11575831
Mechagodzilla would be complicated due to the fact the Gemstone universe is implied to be a continuation of the Heisei universe after Destoroyah and Mechagodzilla was already done. Unless they can somehow manage another Mechagodzilla and make it a alien version of the G-Force one. The only monster Gemstone could use to follow the *5 movie anniversary would either be Titanosaurus or Anguirus. Would be dope to have a 2v2 fight however.

>>11574846
>>11575831
>>11575842
What would be neat is if they used the spinoff story after Terror of Mechagodzilla where Titanosaurus and Katsura are revived 100 years later using parts of Mechagodzilla 2's remains like they did here in this manga

>>11575831
>>Skipped King Caesar and Mechagodzilla last year for Ghidorah and Jet Jaguar
I just wanted them to throw Final Wars King Caesar into the live action short to help out Godzilla and Jet Jaguar and make it a good ol' Showa-style 3v1.

>>11575858
I don't even think the Final Wars suit even exist anymore or hadn't seen in the one time someone did a interview with the guy who ran the secret warehouse where most if not all of them are stored.

>>11568252 (OP)
>Siege Retardius

>>11575862
Anon, they were literally using the Final Wars Godzilla suit for all the shorts. Not to mention Final Wars Hedorah and GMK Ghidorah (which is even older).

So what's the verdict on 2k SH Godzilla?

>>11575927
it's inaccurate but poses real good

>ankles too thin
>tail too whip-like
>neck too thin
>eye socket area too big
>brow wrong shape
>the part where the snout meets the brow is too abrupt in transition
>has an underbite, where the suit has an overbite, throws the whole thing off
leddit says the thinner sculpt is for articulation purposes, but thats cope

>>11575927
>>11575952
it also has bells palsy

>>11569403
>>11569942

>>11575952
Anyone compared it to the Yuji Sakai Concept version to see if it had or more articulation? Say since the Yuji one cost way less in msrp even with inflation involved.

>>11575984
well, the concept version cant look up at all

>>11575927
Jesus Christ, why is he so big? Why isn't he just the size of the other Godzillas?

>>11568729
Dont give up, scout.

>>11576089
Wouldn't he be bigger scale-wise anyway?

>>11575952
Why even call it G2K? It's clearly not G2K. I hope the hiya ships before the nukes fly.

>>11576201
He'd actually be the smallest. Burning Godzilla was 100 meters, GvsBiollante Goji was 80 meters, and G2K/GvsMegaguirus Goji was 55 meters. Now, I obviously don't expect him to be THAT small, but he definitely shouldn't be towering over Burning Godzilla.

>>11576201
bigger is bigger

I just ordered SHMA Angirus....what am I in for?

>>11568252 (OP)
>200 dollars please.

>>11576858
really poseable and bigger than it appears in videos
good paint, feels like filling that longing ive had for an anguirus figure since the start of the monsterarts line
he cute

That underbite, oof

>>11577385
now the suit
notice the angle of the lower mouth to the top
look at that thick solid tight neck

I ordered the new SHMA Godzilla and it's coming on friday but I also just ordered the Hiya 1991 Heisei Godzilla but I did have to pay quite a lot for it.

>>11578831
>my 2000 is forever stuck in japan until god knows when
man.

>>11579007
What? It says mine is coming on friday. Are you talking about yourself?

>>11579048
its mine now

>>11577453
How does the Hiya compare?

>>11579050
Nooo please Anon, not my heckin' good chonkers Goji!

At long last, Bandai has finally unvieled their new MMS Giga line with Destoroyah being the the first as expected. It is 60 dollars MSRP, and is basically a complete "you vs the guy she told you not to worry about" version of the 2.0 Destoroyah we got a month back ago. With the intent of this new line to serve as a MMS +, but also in order to finally to make figures that properly scale with the rest of the line. Biollante is believed to be the next monster this new line will introduce as well on Godzilla Day in November.

>>11579155
Why couldn't they just do this in the first place?

>>11579163
They did 30 years ago, problem was the wings looked like shit.

Accurate

>>11579155
Looks pretty good, not exactly worth say 60 dollars and more 40ish. But least the mold and paint is good I guess.
>>11579163
Bandai is Bandai after all and only does things when it feels like it.
>>11579255
This the Hiya figure?

>>11579350
yep

>>11580572

>>11580565
Oh interesting. I assume they'll release 15 versions of this Kiryu like Bandai has.

>>11580565
I knew they would do a Kiryu as soon as the 2002 Godzilla was announced. At least I won't have to justify the aftermarket prices on the Monsterarts one.

>>11580589
All the photos except for this one I think come from Shanghai WF and are all by Hiya Toys. Photos were borrowed from X/Twitter user https://x.com/MFS314. Check them out for more.

Metalbuild Kiryu

The God/Burning Gundam metalbuild was a Japanese p-bandai exclusive and at the time I couldn't figure out a proxy ordering service that would work with P-bandai

If this is the same, does anybody know one I could use to order it?

I hope we'll get a figure of the Mechagodzilla from The Ride Great Clash. Oh and a Gemstone Goji could be cool as well.

>>11580589
>"Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla" Godzilla
That is very wrong. I'm 99.99% sure that's the "Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla" Godzilla.

>>11580635
Yeah, they also had a standee next to 2001Goji that said Burning Godzilla I think.

>>11580635
>>11580666
They had the same problem at SDCC. I guess they need to hire a new person to set-up these placards.

>>11580677
Yeah, I think those two pics were from SDCC. A pretty weird mistake to make.

>>11571219
I think they'd be Super Robots if anything. The big toilets might qualify as daikaiju...

Seems like my new SMHA Goji is coming today instead of the predicted friday. Usually the other way around.

>>11580846
Bought a new one but it came with the tape sliced open so I did get some money back from Amazon luckily.

>>11580572
Is that Hiya too? I'm losing track of who's doing what.

>>11581144
Yep. Appears to be just the Stylist series(statue) unless it's an Exquisite Basic that is in the early stages where they just show off the sculpt

>>11581144
>>11581426
I am guessing it's an Exquisite Basic that hasn't had its articulation cut in yet, kinda like >>11579255 pic related.

>>11580589
>>11580635
It miiiiiight be that this is Burning Godzilla and they fucked up with the standee?

>>11580589
>>11581988
Mean knowing Hiya they're gonna just use this mold for both 1994 and burning since they're technically the same suit with one having led lights inserted and one without.

>>11581995
That would make sense if there aren't any differences between the suits.

>>11582121
There isn't really besides maybe the eye colors and the led lights on the body and dorsal plates. The tail was the only part of the suit that wasn't altered hense why the dorsal plates on the tail are still white.

>>11573028
So you have zero experience yet decided to comment. It’s giving Reddit

>>11582166
Sir this is a /toy/ thread. /b/ is down the hall to the left.

Anguirus is the next figure to be released for a separate purchase after being in the boxset along with Kamacuras. Gabara will likely follow suit later this month and with Mechagodzilla and King Ghidorah due out on Godzilla Day.

Titanic Creations' Titaniucs has funded. Anyone who preorders before Oct 31st gets all stretch goals.

Preorders are up for TC's cityscape set https://titaniccreations.com/products/kaijuscape

>>11582627
Whats the goals?

>>11582627
>>11583151
Jesus, that international shipping is fucked.

New Jada Toys Toho Godzilla MetalFigs set revealed

>>11584849
Stupid nigger
>>11583322

Sure is a lot of TC news lately. Titanic are offering a variant on their Kaijuscape city set, including their original run Gorgo and child. $199.99 as opposed to the main set's $199.99

>>11586471
I want it and their oc but I'm afraid to look at shipping costs.

>>11572696
The Skibidi Toilet head is an HL2 NPC that shitposters used to depict John Freeman, Gordon Freeman's brother.

My Hiya 1991 Godzilla is out for delivery right now. Here's hoping they included the second head so I don't have to message them about it and that the box survived.

>>11586814
Just got it aaaaaand of course the upgraded head was not included.

>>11586845
Sorry that happened to you, where did you order from?

>>11587141
I ordered from a seller on japanese Amazon. But I did check before and they said it should be included and that they will send it if it didn't come with it. So I wrote a message and I am now waiting to hear back from them. So I am hoping things will work out.

The eyes on the heat ray version does seem like an improvement on the improvement though. Heisei Goji is my favorite so I might even get the 1994/1995 version I think they are working on.

Just got DX SOUL OF CHOGOKIN Mechagodzilla 1974 for 130 bucks.

>>11588418
Where?

>>11588434
Hobby genki. Will be about 170ish after shipping.

Seems like the next short live action/cgi film is gonna give us a what if scenario if Godzilla 2k can go burning mode (Which only ever happened in Godzilla Unleashed on the Wii)

Holy shit youtubers were not joking about Super 7 Destroyah manging the fuck out of your hands trying to attach everything

They should have fucking packaged gloves with this thing

>>11588802
>Godzilla 2k can go burning mode
Katagiri still don't give a fuck.

>>11588965
I wonder if Io has gotten impregnated IRL and shown her kid this movie....

>>11588418
damn, nice find!

>>11588965
Would be kino if they brought the guy who played him back so Godzilla could kill him in funny fashion again.

>>11588884
Super 7 is basically playmates quality plastic on steroids.

>>11590494
I don't know what that means, but it's a miracle I didn't puncture my skin getting the tail and head on

>>11588802
>>11588965
>>11590464
>>11590481
I think it's kinda lame it's got the same color scheme as Heisei burning goji. The firey parts should be more of a magenta, like the dorsal spines were to begin with on miregoji

Or maybe go in the other direction, make it slightly greenish, double down on the radioactive aspect

>>11580609
>>11580610
try yahoo auctions or mercari after release date
i've been shipping directly from japan for years and still don't know how to bypass that issue
even zenmarket couldn't order it for me
sometimes anime export has some p-bandai or exclusives but doesn't seem like it this time
https://www.anime-export.com/

>>11586845
Kinda getting the run around about this whole upgraded head issue. First it sounded like the seller was going to take care of it but now it sounds like I have to talk with Amazon about it.

>>11588884
Yeah I wouldn't recommend attach any Super 7 figure raw without Vaseline oil or a hair dryer to lube up or warm the hard plastic so things slot in a bit easier. I did pretty much that for my totally not trendmaster poster color version of Spacegodzilla. Before that as the AVGN once said "It's like trying to stick your dick in a Cheerio."

>>11593035
I got the tail on my 1200C with a hairdryer and a dab of dawn dish soap.

>>11592564
And Amazon wasn't able to do much so I guess I am fucked.

>>11593035
>>11593131
Are the Super 7 Godzilla figures worth it?

>>11593131
I was gonna 1200C, but I missed that boat and the after market prices are pretty insane. So far my only Super 7 figure at all is the Trendmaster colors Spacegodzilla since I'm only really interested in the wacky colors/gimmicky stuff than the regular super 7 stuff. May pick up either version of the thirst for blood Godzilla's or perhaps either of the sunny delight orange Godzilla's at a later date.

>>11593138
>Are the Super 7 Godzilla figures worth it?
Short answer is no for the reason that Hiya figures offer way more articulation and are about 20-30 dollars cheaper. Long answer is if you are interested in anything Super 7, only buy the ones you know for a fact Hiya/Bandai will NEVER do color wise like pic related since at least you got some flavor.

>>11593138
>Are the Super 7 Godzilla figures worth it
I only got the one so I can't really say. 1200C looks great.

>>11593142
I didn't think I was gonna get one because I never pre-order before reviews are out so I miss out on a lot(I also miss out on headaches from shitty releases). Then wave 1 was shit and everyone cancelled pre-orders. I snagged one the day the first reviews came out.

>>11593152
Should say one other good thing Super 7 figures is the fact they can be used as a home defense weapon because I legit think you can kill someone if you hit them in a head hard enough.

>>11593164
I remember back in the '90s some news show or morning talk show or something did a segment about "unsafe toys" that parents should be aware of that every kid likely had one of. One of them was the large size Imperial Godzilla, and they showed how dangerous the dorsal fins were by swinging the figure down and stabbing the fins into an apple. Ironically, all seeing that did was make me think "Ooh, I wonder if I could do that with mine!"

>>11593892
There was some Japanese news article where a stay at home mom ruptured her Achilles tendon by stepping on a 1991 Bandai Godzilla due to how hard and solid the vinyl was back in those early days and think Bandai realized there was a lawsuit to be had if any more injuries occurred so starting in 1992 or 1993 they made all their Godzilla merchandise the softer vinyl we see today which apparently said softer vinyl is more expensive produce than the harder one they'd been using since the late 1970s.

>>11594047
And also because of that, the 1991 Godzilla was pulled from most store shelves. Problem was because King Ghidorah and Mecha King Ghidorah were still on shelves with no Godzilla next to them. Bandai decided to bring back 1991 Godzilla to store shelves... with them getting rid of the "made in japan" stamp on the foot and replaced it with a "made in korea" stamp on the foot to basically put the blame on Korea should another person be injured by that toy again and dodge a lawsuit in the most scummy way possible.

>>11593152
I mean I cooooould kinda see SHMA doing your pic related since they have done poster related stuff before. But yeah they do seem a tad expensive and I am in Europe so it's harder to get these import figures some times.

>>11593154
It is one of the better looking ones and I am a sucker for Heisei. The one I have been looking at the most is the basic 89Goji. Also been looking at the 89 NECA Godzilla but I haven't seen it for a reasonable price close to me yet. I only have the basic 91Goji when it comes to Hiya and now it's tainted since I can't get the improved head. I also have maybe SHMA Gojis.

>>11594234
Maybe 7 SHMA Gojis.*

Also, what is the difference between these two Hiya Godzillas? I mean I know one is GvsK and one is KotM but is one better than the other fro some reason?

>>11594234
>I mean I cooooould kinda see SHMA doing your pic related since they have done poster related stuff before.
I don't think they'd ever make their Spacegodzilla the totally not trendmaster colors for a poster color release should that ever transpire and make it more purple and green akin to Super Godzilla which basically what Norioyoshi thought Spacegodzilla was gonna use in the final cut of the film.

>>11595038
Sorry my bad, I didn't do my research. I just thought it was Super7 paying homage to the poster. Though it might be cool if SHMA DID DO a poster version of Spacegodzilla.
