The battle of the CENTURY. Well, not really. But competition is sweet and we are reaping the benefits of that competition! Who do you think will be the better figure? 🔥👀
Exactly and for that price they could at least give a atomic breath piece but even so Hiya has made a Godzilla fig with an atomic breath piece with almost the same price as the standard hiya release with no atomic breath piece
which ones? i think they've been doing a pretty good job, other than 1989. the sort of engineering we see in these pictures has been standard since the 1991 release.
Here’s my opinion, the reason I believe there’s such a big gap between the two figures (besides the price lol) is the color scheme cause with hiyas figure it has a weird tan dry brush making it look lighter than he did in the movie. In the movie Godzilla was a deep gray for most of the time so seeing shma with there darker colors makes him pop out more(especially since there promo background allows the spines to shine). But the one thing to keep in mind is that with hiya we get what we see 80% of the time. But with shma EVERY promo picture is NOT showing the actual figure, it’s a resin prototype which is why the details and paint are so good in comparison, but oc when in manufacturing the actual figure it’ll loose those details meaning the paint as well will be sloppy which is why we get the derpy eyes and teeth. Either way hiya (imo) is a safer option cause imagine paying 200 for the probability of sloppy paint and with the risk of the figure breaking apart out of the box.
Every promo shot of a figure is the prototype across all companies and all lines. They're not gonna wait on the finished factory ones to show promotional images when they solicit for preorders lol.
It doesn't really matter if it's a prototype. For first that's all we have now so we can't base opinions about the actual figures. The second thing is just don't preorder it. I don't understand why someone who thinks this is a lot of money would preorder it unless it's their job to review it. Just wait for some youtubers, redditors or someone to buy it and decide then.
QC issues are why I canceled my Minus One SHMA figure. I saw reviews that pointed out the messy teeth and eyes, as well as broken scutes coming out of the box. Not at all worth the $160 they were charging for.
Also sorry for more comments. But yeah we need pink atomic breath I will never understand why they both never give a base version atomic breath instead they do a repaint or poster color version? Like I'm sad Hiya doesn't have any accessories at all. Like I don't understand why they don't give us atomic breath?
Never be sorry for more comments I love talking in the comments. I agree, Hiya is more understandable not having the beam because the figure is a 3rd the price.
in the movie, godzilla's body kinda warps around a lot. expands and contracts. when you take the CGI files that have godzilla in a static pose and cut that up for joints, it's always going to look a little off when you put it in more dynamic poses. that's what it looks like to me anyways, i'm completely talking out my ass. i think the SHMA captures the way godzilla looks throughout the entire movie better lol
İf we look at their prototype aka images shma is better than hiya yeah but those are images final product may change we need to add that on top of that even shmas version is better looking and has more articulation it can again have quality control issues like most of the time they had joint tolerance can be inconsistent paint issues may happen figure can send broken or litreally like blue eyes white dragon it could have near to no issues price gap is again huge but it isnt worth to mention if you want something you should just buy it
SHMA genuinely struggles to get good face sculpts, and their paint quality control is ass most of the time. Hiya does a great job of having consistent QC at an awesome price point and great sculpt accuracy.
@@CepiTheNomad ah alright, my opinions the hiya is better as right now it’s in its way early prototype stage, I think it was even announced before the movie so hiya can do WAY better, and plus that monster arts price😭😭😭😭😭 Also my hiya toys re evolved is here, it’s so stiff I’m afraid to move it once😭😭
@@G0ZILLER I’m not sure how much the figures will change between now and release but there’s time! Have you tried taking some heat to it? That did the trick for mine
Sh figuarts articulation is usually better then hiya toys if your want one that has the better articulation. But also sh monster arts is also little smaller in size. But for me that price is the biggest draw for me. U can get almost 3 hiya toys for the price of 1 sh monster arts depending were you get em. For me just to have a little better articulation on a Godzilla figure and they both still look great. Now if I was talking about articulation on a Spider-Man figure then of course I may pick the higher priced one. Also another thing I’ve noticed over the years with sh monster arts rendering pictures compared to the actual figure sometimes is a massive difference. An not to mention they seem to always mess up the eyes on them for some reason. They make Godzilla look like he has a lazy eye or his eye isn’t even in his eye socket. So for me in the long run I will be getting the Hiya figure.
I preordered the shma variant, for some odd reason I regret my decision *(the price is hurting my soul)* Btw they should’ve added veiny details to the shma to make the translucent design stand out more
Honestly both are good, sh might finally be making a comeback i honestly think sh might take this one but considering this is a preview and its hella expensive imma have to go with hiya.
I got SHMA’s for 115 so it’s not THAT bad. I’ve seen new images on Twitter of SHMA’s in a “real life setting” and the prototype really looks leagues above the HIYA that was also showcased in China I think with Shimo. It also looks to be bigger than 6 inches, maybe 6.5 inches or close to 7, so that’s a plus. SHMA looks like it actually jumped out of the screen and I hope the final product is 95% the same as the prototype
You know the problem with the hiya figure is they don’t want to go to far from the original model which resulted in him being bigger than he needs to be overall taking the slim appearance away.
i like them both but hiyas looks liek from the egypt fight while shma looks like when he broke out the ice. but hiya paintjobs are always different in prototypes so idk about them.
I'll be honest, when I first saw the 2 I though the shma version was infinitely better. However after seeing how the pre evolved Hiya looked in hand compared to the promo pictures, I have a lot more hope for the Hiya. Idk why they have that super weird yellow filter lol
I don’t care what anyone says really I’m not just going purchase the figure to purchase it once I saw SHMA I’m most definitely getting it no matter what it’s going to be my main show for most of my stuff the fact I didn’t see anything from Hiya fr yet is insane i am willing to purchase the hiya one in the future but not at this time, if hiya comes in with Scar King and suko, let me see it let me see Tiamat let me see Scylla let me see Doug I’ll probably guarantee getting those depends of SHMA comes in with something different, but as for no SHMA with Evolved and Shimo if more titans comes out between the two like how playmates show Tiamat then I’ll consider on looking between the two but now two figures I’m guaranteed getting SHMA Shimo and Evolve Godzilla
I genuinely want the SHMA version more because this Godzilla with the super articulation fits more for me, it feels better where as Hiya looks like it’ll be stiff and tight from the photos. The issue for me though is that I don’t live alone, and I will probably be called crazy for spending that much money on it. But I still want to buy it.
I imagine the articulation for the hiya will be similar to the current releases so yeah probably a little more stiff but I can still get him into some great poses
I’d say shma evolved goji as a figure will turn out good and few QA issues. Its a premium web Bandai release (which is why price is so high here is US) and not a standard one like minus one or the GvK figures were for example. All the past Premium web releases over the past few years have all turned out amazing with the figures looking as good or even better then the prototypes Honestly if you decide to get the shma just import it from Japan so you only pay around $90 instead of $140-$150 here in the us
I can literally pre-order a shimo figure, supercharged godzilla and evolved godzilla figure from hiya for only $161.99, which is a $20 increase from S.H monsterarts evolved godzilla. Hiya is so much more worth it.
I'm not the biggest fan of the design as a whole, it's cool but it's just not MY Godzilla. But I will say that I think the SHMA looks better objectively, in the promos that is. Tbh, I think if Hiya got someone who actually CARES to pose the fig for the promo images, it would probably look baller and worth the buy over SH. But overall, for me buying a figure comes down to if its worth the price, and the SH is NOT worth 150 dollars. Its a shame that by the time people are able to make reviews both may be sold out.
Sh takes the place BUT! If you want something cheaper and unbreakable parts I suggest you pick hiya sh is just hella dumb as hell they really make there figures breakable And there and the price tag omg😭picking hiya would be a good thing
As a college student who bought the 160$ usd shin godzilla 4th night combat version that comes with NO FUCKING ACCESSORIES, i'm definitely going to buy the hiya godzilla evolved version.
The SH Monsterarts is much better than their 2019-2024 godzillas. But come on. It's so overpriced. SHMA kong and evolved godzilla cost almost as much as Hiya Shimo, Ghidorah and Evolved Godzilla combined. Come on. Sh monsterarts stylizes their figures way too much.
I just don't undersrand that why bandai doesen't make a atomic breath part, only some hands that no one is using🤦 i think over 100€ figure should come with a atomic breath part
Its funny with the duality of shimo and godzilla model. Sh clearly wins with godzilla by a mile despite the price. Whereas hiya shimo is perfect and sh shimo is a monstrosity.
Does anyone even that know that you can’t just get shma straight away I recommend hiya because shma might fall apart like they did with Kong shma sucks cause they always fall apart I mean they might upgrade it so it doesn’t break but you would never know and don’t waste your money for something that you don’t even know if it falls apart but I know hiya toys don’t fall apart so you never know just saying 😅
Not going lie S.H.MonsterArts Godzilla is better but damn does it have to be that much and the spikes on Godzilla arms I don't like it that much bc they small as hell but other than that the figure is amazing and I will be broke after buy it
I personali like the hiya better because it looks more detailed to me and I honestly don't realy trust shma after their godzilla minus one figure and I think $140 is a bit much for a 6-inch figure that has a small chance that it won't look exactly like the promo pictures but when it comes out and I see how it looks, maybe I'll order it
I think shma head is way too big. That saying I think Hiya is more accurate to the movie, which I value more. But I do love the dorsal spikes on smha because they really pop on it
bandi has so much fucking money they could fix some if not all the problems with their figures but they choose not to and slap ridiculous price tags and move on
Like imagine if the door was still alive for Godzilla killed him and then Ghidorah said hi Daddy and because his body was so flat he couldn't even hit him once and then the door just had to aim for his bottom parts
Ima just say this sh tricks us with the camera and for some reason I’ve noticed hiya kinda looks better in person than camera from my experience so hiya might look better than what we see.
in my area shma is half the price and its not a bootleg. I bought a 2002 shma godzilla for 60-70$ instead of the 120-160$ so may get 2024 godzilla for half the price too
