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.

SHMA: Oh you guys want another 2019 Ghidorah figure eh? Alrighty then! *releases a Gravity beam version of 2019 Ghidorah but with no accessories 💀💀💀*

can’t wait to see the figure fight with the SH version

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

Very much looking forward to mine. Not a contest with the MonsterArts. This figure wins. Easily lol

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

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 👍

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.

Hiya King Ghidorah is herby proclaim as "The Best Figure of the Year 2023". Nice review and can't wait for 2024 and see what is in store for us.

Such incredible figure! Really hope hiya gets to create more Goji/kaiju figures in the future. Looking forward to picking one up

"If you can't figure out what that's for I don't know how you got the money to pay for this" Lol

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

thanks!! this video let me fully decide i want to buy the hiya ghidorah when it releases in my country

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

This thing is a work of art. I love that I dont even need the stands for my figure.

Yellow snake with 3 heads and wings is very cool

There will definitely be a V2 to refine those weaknesses.

Don’t have a lot of shelf space and now I’m so mad at getting the legendary ghidorah SHMA back in 2019 LOL. Will probably pick this dude up eventually

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.

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

6:40 Steven don't you ever give me a heart attack like that ever again lmao

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.

Great review! I'm loving all of the Hiya Toys Monsterverse stuff so far. I can't wait for my King Ghidorah to ship!

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

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

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.

I had both shma 2019 ghidorahs. The original one annoyed me so much i sold it. The gold one isn't bad. The hiya will be a good replacement

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.

Amazing but I wish he had elbows for that added posing

Hiya Toys King Ghidorah look awesome! Super great video, Steven, Happy New Year 🎊🤗!

Now, just waiting for that notification from BBTS that Ghidorah arrived. Thanks STR for the review and the issues that Ghidorah has.

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.

Can you believe hiya made a figure this great and with far less the price compared to the monsterarts. Cannot wait to get mine.

Going to wait for a "gold" color version. Looks great

I just ordered mine on entertainment earth, can’t wait to for it to arrived

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

Got the new 91 for preorder. Hopefully the wing joints will be strong. My shma wings had to be glued or they sagged

Figure fight don’t need to happen! This is an amazing figure!!!!

Finally its here

Nice review

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.

Best ghidorah figure in existence

Such an awesome figure to end the year!

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!

Not a TOY boys and girls this is a collectors item beautiful work of art

This thing is amazing. It's beautiful. And it's only 100 dollars it's a great deal.

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.

Hey I have a question so my king ghidorah tail hole is messed up and it won't pop in on the balljoint no matter how much force what can I do ?

Can't wait for mine!!!!

it looks amazing, I might purchase it

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.

thats immaculate for the price. I might get it but not sure where to display him

Perfection is impossible but my god I need these figures

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.

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 they actually did it 😯

Woooooooo! Squeezing one more banger in before the new year!

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

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

Cant wait to get this grail next month

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

Man the fact he can hang upside down like a bat is impressive 💪

The only thing I dislike about hiya is the fact that if you don’t get a figure before it sells out…good luck with getting one for a decent price

ok, now we want the battle between Hiya Toys Ghidorah and MonsterArts Ghidorah even though we all know who will win!

Happiest of New Years

Should’nt have ordered mine from bbts.I have to wait until hiya gives them the figure.

Hiya toys delivered for the new year 💀☠️🗣️🔥

Mines still stuck in customs

I got this and it is so perfect

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

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

Best figure of the year, folks Better sculpt Better paint Better posability More accurate to the movie Moral of the story: GET REKT, MONSTERARTS

Ye

The only way for this figure to be perfect is if it came with gravity beam effect parts

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 💭 ❤

Finally it's out

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.

Hiya Toys Ghidorah is such a vast improvement to the SHMA Ghidorah. Better sculpt, more articulation, a VASTLY superior paint job, and significantly cheaper.

scrapped paint everywhere

Oh lord I can’t wait for the figure fight it’s gonna be a slaughter 😂

14:23 left wing looks like it's drooping off the hinge compared to the right:/

Great figure!!! But still no gravity beams...

Hiya Toys once again making collectors ask "wtf is S.H.MonsterArts doing???"

I’m still waiting for mine from Big Bad ugh

the spikes, horns and teeth need to be way sharper, other then that its great....

Hiya obliterates SHMA in their respective MV lines. There’s absolutely no contest

Still waiting on mine to arrive :(

Only gripe is the tails should be longer than his necks

Lol, bought the gravity beam version

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

Comment b4 the watch MUCH EXCITE!

When is he supposed to come out? I ordered him in December and was just curious around when he will ship

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

Hiya to the rescue, I will wait for an electric variant

this is the best Ghidorah iteration yet, so sayeth a non-KG fan

Good lord, 1 min posted and 16 upvotes and 3 comments. (Can't wait!!)

Through minecraft? Did I hear that right? The game of blocks?

my copy has so many flaws

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
