It's bendy. You can see the wire holes under the wings.Godzillaninja2019 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 19, 2022 3:48 am are the wings on bendy wire or how did that with the wings. darn hiya toys rodan, is very tempting to get now. since i was orginaly plan on getting godzilla and whenever ghidorah is shown. wonder can mothra wings cand do that now
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.

Re: Hiya Toys 1/12 Godzilla
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.

Re: Hiya Toys 1/12 Godzilla
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?Rody wrote: ↑Sun Oct 23, 2022 12:22 pm 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.

Re: Hiya Toys 1/12 Godzilla
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.

Re: Hiya Toys 1/12 Godzilla
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?

Guess the license is revoked or something?

Re: Hiya Toys 1/12 Godzilla
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"Legion1979 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 22, 2022 2:18 pm I hear Bandai got mad Hiya's Godzilla looked better than their MonsterArts and threw a shit fit.
