It's bendy. You can see the wire holes under the wings.

It looks very similar to the Jurassic World Amber Collection Pteranodon, which I own, and I like the way its wings look, feel and work.

These photos show an unpainted prototype. For some reason.

Never a fan of bendy wire but there's only so much you can do with this design. I prefer this to NECA's rather awkward swivel joints and the Monsterarts' big immoveable slabs.

I appreciate the new review of the Basic Godzilla on the main site. Despite a few issues, this figure seems to be getting near-universal praise, which is very encouraging.

Good to know! By any chance will you show size comparisons with other Godzilla figures?

Hiya Toys has the two 8" PVC statues in stock. I'm getting a flat rate option of $10 for shipping the two of them, if anyone was interested in buying these somewhere beside BBTS.
Hopefully the basic action figures will be in stock soon too.

I think they're staggered by two months or so between releases.

Okay, so Hiya has scrubbed all Godzilla content from their website: https://www.hiyatoys.com/catalogsearch/ ... q=godzilla

Including the entry for the Godzilla figure: https://www.hiyatoys.com/hiya-toys-godz ... ure-1.html

That seems...troubling?

It would be so funny for that to be true, and for Hiya to retaliate by releasing a 3rd party Chinese figure to come out in 6 months called "Nuclear God" followed by "Island King Ape"
