That intro is just chefs kiss perfection!! I got mine off of Hiyas website as soon as it dropped. The paint design is like when you’re bbqing and the coals are glowing which I like a lot
6:21 While this probably isn't intentional, it ironically works consistency wise with how the rest of Godzilla's scales and plated armor are painted. Think of the segmented plates on Godzilla's tail sort of like roof shingles with a very bright light source under them. That's pretty much what it looks like to me. The same thing is going on with the plated armor on Godzilla's thighs as well
The problem is that shma puts out so many repaints, with each being garbage QC with each re-released sculpt. With hiya, at least each one is amazing within each re-release. One is plausible, one is sloppy and doesnt feel worth it.
Yea repaints are inevitable and help these companies fund the brand new stuff. Basicallly every figure company does it. But at least Hiya puts in effort like you said. They make repaints that are worth owning even if you have the original. Versus SHM repaints that are really only justifiable to buy if you missed the first release.
I have never owned a Monsterverse Godzilla anything. While I'm still not big on the design of the monster itself, THIS is exactly the kind of look and quality that had me open my wallet!
great video, makes me feel satisfied about ordering it from Hiya. That's shipping is high, but I really wanted this figure. I was bummed when I found out I missed it the first time it was offered.
I had already purchased the original Hiya Burning Godzilla but wasn't too impressed with it. I like it but I think it could have been better, so the Battle Version is definitely something I want to have in my collection.
I’m really curious how a pulse effect could be done. Obviously I have no knowledge of how effect parts are done and correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems really difficult and definitely expensive, especially if you want the mothra silhouette in that effect too
I absolutely love this one! Haven’t tried the neck swap yet with Ghidorah. I just hope there’s no issues. Can it work with both the left and right necks?
I tried getting it from that one site that was selling it for $130 even though I didn’t really wanna get it for that price I got the first version so I wasn’t super pressed but I didn’t know if I’d get another shot, the site slowed to a crawl and it sold out before I could checkout. Now that I’m seeing the comparison I’m glad I got to order it from hiya! It looks way better than the standard one, I thought it just had better spike paint. 80 bucks is still a bit steep but I did try to bite the bullet for way more so I’m happy
Got it on the rerelease couple days ago, can’t wait! I’m planning on making him light up: does anyone have ideas how? I’ve seen Instagram posts of him lit up so I just assume they sneak some lights inside the gaps in the articulation right?
Nice review there, Steven! Honestly, I felt like Hiya Toys Burning Godzilla Battle Version is a much better improvement over the original one since it’s come to coloring and paint apps. And guess what, I successfully secured my preorder of the Burning Godzilla Battle Version exclusive, planning to rename it as Thermonuclear Godzilla.
Despite the ghidorah head, since we didn’t get a beam effect with this version I’m happy with the original version I picked up. Even though I do prefer the paint on this one
I'm super happy that more people got one but i'm still pissed they lied about it being an event exclusive. Who knows what they will lie about in the future
To be clear, they really did not lie. I made a video about exclusives a few weeks ago, and in it they were clear with their posting that it was first available at Shanghai WonFes, and it is common practice for things to be first available there and then order periods Later. Unfortunately, there are a lot of new content creators who don't exactly know what they're talking about in our experiencing things for the first time who are pushing information they believe they have the full aspect on, just like the minus one Godzilla heat ray and they don't have all of the correct information.
@jogibaer66618 officially they're marketing it without that right now. On the site and socials that's not there. However, that being said, even with Bandai and others even SDCC exclusive items have other order windows for their items, it's exceptionally common practice recently to make items widely more available. Note the ones from Shanghai, those have a sticker on them.
@@StevensToyReviews unfortunately i didn't know any of that, that's why i fomo'd myself into buying one from Kowki's. But now i know that "event exclusive" doesnt actually mean what it says 🤷♂️
@jogibaer66618 I understand, the weeds are technical. Hiya only had information for China and nothing international but word gets out, some aren't familiar, and things get lost. Also FYI, if you were successful with that retailer, check their RUclips page to see if they still have a list of people who "successfully purchased" the figure...
@@scottishlad4485 you didn’t miss it yet it’s still available for preorder. Don’t know where the other commenter got that’s it’s too late from. There’s other people that just commented a few hours ago on this video that they just secured their preorders several hours ago.
That intro is incredible
@@chaseparker1993 so true!
Gojifxunlimited is where he’s getting the effects. At least some of them.
First time buying from HIYA directly, not missing this opportunity on this beauty

The shmas had good to them. I’ll admit hiya usually does it better
No hate plezz
@ParrotsAccount mkmk
lol
@@ParrotsAccountthe only one I personally like from shma is the poster color version 2019 in my opinion

I think the missing paint on parts of the tail looks cool, like its showing the energy inside of him, in his tail almost.
I have never owned a Monsterverse Godzilla anything. While I'm still not big on the design of the monster itself, THIS is exactly the kind of look and quality that had me open my wallet!
i specifically skipped on the first hiya burning goji because i expected them to make a translucent one and hiya did not disappoint
This thing is amazing! The darker colors make this thing POP!
Just ordered mine from Hiya’s website 🔥
Wait is it still on pre order? Because I pre ordered mine on the website aswell
Same!! It looks fantastic
great video, makes me feel satisfied about ordering it from Hiya. That's shipping is high, but I really wanted this figure. I was bummed when I found out I missed it the first time it was offered.
Through this, I realized the extent of the joints. Thank you
However, will the Ghidorah parts fit on the regular Ghidorah neck as well?
Very glad I ordered this guy! Imo it's definitely the best Monsterverse Godzilla figure out, also my Neca came with a warped lower jaw 😬

These reviews are good I haven't got none these are other figs butt when I di get chance I'll be educated thanks for the work u put in these videos 👍

I’m happy I got my burning Godzilla as soon as soon as it was up
Got it on the rerelease couple days ago, can’t wait! I’m planning on making him light up: does anyone have ideas how? I’ve seen Instagram posts of him lit up so I just assume they sneak some lights inside the gaps in the articulation right?
I hope they do claw hands for Godzilla one day like MonsterArts did
Yeah we need it
I do kinda hate the Ghidorah part is for the gravity beam version. I have the OG and really don't plan on getting the other.

You know what
I wanna get someone to get this mold or the SHMA and repaint it to match the Neca atomic breath version
WOAH THE ANIMATION
Love the intro wishing we had the Hiya evolved Godzilla right now instead of waiting and them delaying it
It's so beautiful!
This is what happens when you call Hiya’s Burning Godzilla 2019 “Nacho Cheese”. They make a new and better one.
Despite the ghidorah head, since we didn’t get a beam effect with this version I’m happy with the original version I picked up. Even though I do prefer the paint on this one
It looks like some of the black paint rubbed off of the figure, it’s mostly notable in the head
0:35 my favourite shot.
Hiya baked the pizza with this one!
If it had brighter accents then it’s perfection.
Hiya toys Flaming Hot Burning Godzilla. 🔥 🔥
Is it on Amazon yet?
@@RatusTheRat errrr no?
Figure fight! This can be a 4 way. 2 Hiyas, NECA, and SHMA.

@StevensToyReviews i mean okay, but why call it event "exclusive" then? That's just misleading

I’m not comfortable skipping, but I can’t afford it because of Christmas
Im getting one for Christmas-
Honeslty probably the best Thermo Godzilla figure on film accuracy
Well it's a good Burning Godzilla, dunno about what a thermo is.
Who is thermo?
@StevensToyReviews Thermo is basically 2019 burning godzilla, I say it so I don't get confused with Godzilla vs destroyah. Sorry for the confusion
@TsukikoGoji BG19.
LOVE IT
I ordered mine from hiya directly, and won't tell me when it will arrive. do you know? if so, please respond im actually dying.
Release timeframe is on the page.
2025Q1, it says so when you hit “Read More” on the product page
He looks like overcooked pizza and now i'm hungry...
I don’t see this figure anywhere in BBTS.
This is being sold ONLY on Hiya’s official website
@ oh okay, it’s yet to be released
sorry bro but you missed the nov 30th thing where you preorder it but they might give another chance
@ Dang it..I’ve been wanting it so bad
@@scottishlad4485 you didn’t miss it yet it’s still available for preorder. Don’t know where the other commenter got that’s it’s too late from. There’s other people that just commented a few hours ago on this video that they just secured their preorders several hours ago.
I wish I could afford this. I just blew my cash on a bunch of other releases.
We'll never get Hiya Evolved i think
Said no one
December-January dude
Figure is amazing, too bad it's an exclusive gonna have to wait for a scalper to throw'em up on ebay.
Hiya's website has had on and off listing for pre-order over the last few days. Keep your eyes peeled! (I ordered one yesterday)
Don't really care for this design, but figured might as well get it directly when I can. At worst I can flip down the line
