I can now confirm that I will be doing a review of Hiya's Godzilla figure for the main site! Any particular issues or topics concerning the figure you'd want me to touch in my review?

We've seen some really nicely staged photos, but I'm curious of how ugly that neck joint can appear. Could you showcase the neck joint at its worst posing?

I just want to know how the figure scales to Robot Spirits Pacific Rim figures, if you have any to compare it to.

Yeah, I think those neck joints are the biggest offenders.

Man Hiya towers over the Neca. Looks similar in size to the MonsterArts Mechagodzilla 2021. I'm curious how he scales with Neca's Pacific Rim figures.

I imagine the NECA stuff will be a bit too tall, but I bet he'll look really good with Bandai's Uprising stuff...

He actually is the same height as SHMA MechaG 2021.

That cool that the hiya godzilla scalled good with mechagodzilla 2021. I kinda thought it was odd that the monster arts mechagodzilla 2021 was bigger than godzilla

Because MG is bigger then Godzilla? We dont have a solid stat given for Mg but its about "a head" bigger at least if not more going by the beam clash shot and the grapple scene. Which is what the MA seems to be modeled after.

On that note. I'm sure Hiya's MG will be the same "scale" to each other as the MA was to their MG. So, expect a BIG Mechagodzilla.

Stat wise MechaG is supposed to be about 10ft taller than Godzilla.

Comparison pictures in general are always nice. I would love to see how this Godzilla compares to the NECA Kong, since they should in theory be the same scale.

I'd love to see Ghidorah - that seems like the obvious next step. But I suppose they could show MechaG.

So when do we think BBTS will get these in? I'm sorely tempted by the one on Ebay, but I can't justify spending an extra $80 just to get it a month or two early, especially as I'm not a reviewer or anything (anymore).

I have to admit, I wasn't paying the Stylist figures any heed before, but they're actually looking quite tempting for the size and price point.

Is this legit, or likely a bootleg / the Stylist statue? https://www.aliexpress.us/item/32568045 ... _shipto=US

Probably legit but I wouldn’t spend $90 just to have it earlier.

Yes...yes that would be a very dumb thing. To do.
