A big thank you for this video. Hiya announced so many figures in such a short time span, that I lost track. Also your insights really help to decide, what figures to get and which better not to. I've ordered my first Hiya Godzilla figure yesterday. I prepare myself to get blown away next week, when it arrives.
Great video. As someone who is new to Hiya this is great information. It was nice that you prepared reference images and videos. You earned a subscriber.
@zmaprogamingyt6956 Werid choices, man, but it's fine. I've been seeing that a lot of people have him as there is only base Godzilla from Hiya, so I wanted to make sure they realized how he couldn't been 😭
Nope i am i was like when i got it i said: this dosent look like the promotional images last december 25th but im still working on the vid cuz its a triple review
One of the best reviews I pushed like 👍 and subscribe to you very good content and I’m a huge hyia supporter 2025 gonna be good year for Godzilla hyia can’t wait I got a lot on pre orders
Great vid man! I watched all 49 mins... Having the new thermo as number 1 is a fair pick. It just looks so good 😭. It would be great to have but due to me already having the base 2019, I'd probably rather spend my money on a different sculpt. Also while the Ghidorah parts are nice accessories that are well painted, if you don't have the gravity beam ghidorah... they're kinda useless... I guess you could use them with the other gidorah but it'll just look off. And if you don't have either! Well... Also having the GvK skull crawler at number 2 (and the normal ghidorah at number 7 😭) was a surprising pick for me!
@The_XYZ_01 I definitely will admit I placed some figures too far down but Repaints kill the originals magic so they just go down the list. And the GvK skullcrawler is the second coming of christ!
YES! Finally someone else who believes that Hiya’s KotM Godzilla is their best version of his “base” form. It is the most screen representation in the line, as Monsterverse Godzilla has never been just a charcoal grey/black. If one takes a look at the CGI model outside of the films, he’s always had various bits of brown, tans, and even some dark reds sprinkled throughout his hide, and Hiya’s ‘19 figure *really* captures that extremely well. The colors on him are pretty egregious on camera due to the amount of light artificial blasting the figure, but in-person and under natural light, the colors are a lot more, well… Natural lol. The eyes and mouth are also the best to me, and overall, the KotM version just has a quality and “feel” that the other versions lack. While they’re all nice enough, they’re pretty drab and basic to look at. KotM Godzilla maintains that gorgeous sculpt, but adds in tons of lovely color to actually *accentuate* the detail. It’s the definitive Hiya MV Godzilla to me, easily, and is the most screen accurate version. It absolutely is displayed right next to my original Hiya King Ghidorah, and SH MV MechaGodzilla, and they all look incredible together.
You said it better than I ever could, KotM has the best paint job with so much detail for a 50 dollar figure, especially when compared to other base Godzilla's from Hiya
Excited to see how this company have to offer in the future shm got their chance and they always missed them and now the legit competitor here and i hope they keep their pace
@wowzilla2000editz Damn brother sorry about the 2014, but thank you for the subscription. Go to Kowkis Toys, they sell Hiya figures with no shipping for a bit of a higher base price. They have 2014 at 78. Good luck 🙏
Also agree with you about Ghidorah. My original is something that I’ve posed, or tried to pose, all of 3 times, and have never touched it again? The articulation is stiff and limited, and the community notion of it being able to stand on its own without the plastic stands is bullshit lol, at least for any extended length of time. Those joints would absolutely sag over time without said supports. It’s a GORGEOUS figure, but it’s essentially a beautiful, screen accurate statue for me. I honestly just think that Monsterverse Ghidorah doesn’t make for a great articulated figure, and that’s simply down to the design. It’s a top 3, top 2 Ghidorah design easily, and is my personal favorite incarnation. However, him being as massive as he is, his wings being as wide as they are, it’s not an action figure friendly design.
IMO, the hiya Ghidorah is overrated. The articulation is stiff and the necks are pre posed. My gravity version’s tails fall off when I touch them. Also, the wings are very fragile. My normal version hasn’t broke but my gravity beam versions wing almost sheared off when posed. I’ve seen some other cases of wing breakage on Reddit as well.
Funny enough i ended up buying that emerald version of mothra on ACCIDENT! I went to my toy store and found then stocked with hiya monsterverse figures and picked one if almost every kaiju they had and for mothra I didn't pay attention enough and accidentally picked up that version but I'll stick with it cause they charged me 60 for it 😢
@belindatrimble8638 I plan on making a ranking on all the hiya figures again at the start of 2026 and a separate ranking on the Toho Godzilla figures, including all the Heisei and Millennium later in the year
Still not getting 2014 because of all the sloppy paint around the body and head. Legendary also has this thing where they’re ignoring that 2014 had golden eyes in the movie. It was on all the merch at the time too
Only thing I dislike about hiya mothra is the wing pattern. Shma might be too yellow but it’s actually more accurate to the film Idk about the quality stuff I don’t own this figure
I personally switch number 10 and exclusive thermo since number 10 checks every accuracy and articulation. While i love exclusive thermo, number 10 for me is just in all ways perfect for me.
@mrwalkman4740 Oh, I see where you're coming from. My opinion is said that it's the best normal release they have created. But I'm a very big Thermonuclear Godzilla fan, so the translucent plastic, paint job, and accessories are just objective better for me. I'm glad to see other skullcrawler lover, number 10, my beloved.
@CallingAllKaiju yes, i also love thermo nuclear, but comparing the accuracy on the film and some minor issues in the paint, number 10 reigns supreme Tho i would also switch emerald mothra with the normal one since it looks way better compared, but tbh mothra is the most lackluster of the hiya figures, wished they incorporated a wired wings on her too, but i understand with how thin her wings are.
Theory here so I think what hiya was trying to do with g14 I think they made it a little bit more accurate hate on all I what but I’ll get to the point so my point is the only reason why he has like bad teeth design is probably because he was in a deep sleep before fighting the mutos pretty good theory right?
personally, I wouldn't place the translucent thermo at 1, even tho is is amazing, his lack of accessability would probably have him lower on my list, and as someone who owns the supercharged, hes an amazing figure, but the uv light doesn't do much and his eyes aren't painted. If you have a uv light, test it on the original king ghidorah release, the veins in his wings and eyes glow orange
@SkeletonGojira1017 There will be a supercharged video coming within the next few months comparing the original release with the re-release so I'll cover his details more but I agree about his eyes, I never really thought about it. Also, I get where you're coming from about the exclusive burning, but the paint job is just so screen accurate for a Godzilla form that has never been done right in a articulated figure
@ oh yeah i get it dw, its your review thing afterall, and you own that burning, I don't. The supercharged figure is amazing, but the lack of eye paint is what disappoints me, all they needed was some little white dots lol
From my experience with the hiya Mothra and Rodan stands they are kinda fine but there is allot of issues I have with the stands. The Mothra stand is not that good cos when ever I move the stand or just gently touch it Mothra can easily fall of. The Rodan stand is kinda similar cos again when ever I move the stand or just gently touch it the stand with Rodan will easily fall down. And man that gets annoying when ever that happens!!!! I hope hiya in there future with future realises I hope that they can make their stands better
Anywhere to find the Burning Battle ver at this point? I've found it on ebay for $120+ As someone who owns it, what's the most you would you recommend paying for it?
@cicadaman1125 i bought mine for 180 when it first released in China off a 3rd party cite. I probably won't give you the best price. But if I had to I'd some anything over 150 is too much. But I just love myself some Burning Godzilla 😭
Hiya did a short release of it on their official website in Q4 of last year, around $80 in total after shipping fees. You’ll likely not find it for under $100 these days, sadly, but hopefully you get lucky!
@@ParrotsAccountRight. After I’d gotten my SH Burning Godzilla, I was honestly content. I ordered the Battle version ultimately for completions sake to have an MV Burning from NECA, Bandai, and Hiya.
@Kiryu_02 Hiya was literally Homer disappearing into the brushes, where as they disappeared once people complained about the Kong. Seriously, they didn't say shit but changed 2002 and 93 Mechagodzilla and apologized...

good news i got hiya toys godzilla evoled pre ordered on bbts
Glad I ordered the burning Godzilla, can’t wait to have it in person. Just need to grab the gravity beam version of ghidora I have the original lol
Yeah that's unlucky that you need another Ghidorah but trust me it's still a beautiful figure!
We need the early Showa stuff and 84 most importantly, shin, minus one…
Oh god you mentioned 84, my co-host Justin will be showing you all how much he loves 84 soon enough. Anyway I'd love a Shin Hiya!

@danieldickerson4838 I'm glad to hear someone else gets it. Honestly should just make it a statue besides the necks and heads. Now I'd buy that
Let's just hope the figures that hiya has delayed don't turn out like the 2014 Godzilla

@RickDaSquirrel Wow, I never really thought about that, I just thought they were orange and yellow mixed like the other movies.
@CallingAllKaiju If you look at them up close its what DougheGojis are. That very much bothers me.
Understandable, 2014 is personally my favorite MV design and the golden eyes you just made me see make it even better

For me, at the bottom is flameborne Rodan. It’s by far the most pointless figure. It only looks good when you have a blacklight on it
@TheCreateCraftJurassic From what I've seen from other videos of in hand, it actually has better base paint from the original Rodan
I have him. He’s decent but his wings are poorly glued onto a large peg connected to a ball joint so it keeps falling out.
Don't have any shma figures
So am thinking about collection hiya
