What if she's your.. And your her that means PLEASE DON'T KILL ME KRAKEN MONSTER ( SCREAMS AWKWARDLY ) PULL YOUR SELF TOGETHER MAN WE HAVE A MERMAID TO CATCH thanks I needed that

[@Luke610]

Heya rob! So a trick that I use to get the original heat ray to look up all the way is to grab the tail by the base and rotate it sideways. Then straighten the legs and move them back. You have a little more room to work with and if you do it right it will be looking at a perfect angle.

[@ShinRobjira]

Gonna give that try when I’m in my office, next! Thank you for the tip, my guy!

[@DinoKaiju1227]

This helped out for me! Thanks!

[@Lunamon3333]

With a chest of legendary Godzilla I love how it doesn't look symmetrical the scales aren't weirdly placed compared to the other side it just makes them look more living and breathing

[@G89_No_Limits]

The difference between the figures that makes the translucent goji look up more is that hiya changed the necks, the old neck was thicker and the new neck is longer and thinner

[@alexkautz5766]

Thanks for yet another fabulous review! In comparison to many other figures, and considering the price-point, these HIYA Toys are amazing! After being saddened by the quality control issues of S.H.Monsterarts, your reviews of the HIYA Toys figures have made a collector out of me again!

[@ralphyfirebird4662]

I was waiting for your review because you're very good at what you do! Lots of wonderful details that you pointed out were missed in another review of this figure elsewhere so I'm really happy to see all the wonderful paint additions and changes. 🤜🏻🤛🏼

[@Ezilla82]

Yep, I got this figure on preordered and I wouldn't be surprised if Hiya does a translucent Burning Godzilla that would be dope, but that would be a pass for me because I'm happy with the og Burning Godzilla Hiya made.

[@ShinRobjira]

I'm very much up for a Burning Godzilla (Thermonuclear Blast) Variant similar to NECA's, 10000000%!

[@MonstersOfTheUniverse]

It appears to molded in translucent and opaque plastic. The translucent area where the dorsal pines are and opaque where the skin is. If you look inside the figure you’ll find a translucent blue stripe toward the spines

[@SaurianAnimations]

I won’t lie. I prefer the translucent version over the original heat ray version. Idk why I’m just a massive sucker for translucent dorsal plates😂 Big W for Hiya Toys

[@superiorcybergodzilla5670]

[@carlodechosa4219]

That look is CLEAN! And the figure looks great too.

[@rafaellupian6826]

Will the spine yellow over time?

[@alexandersilva3327]

for me the heat way version is when hes glowing at night, and the atomic breath version is when hes glowing durring the day cuz it isnt as bright, like in the shot after Godzilla slaps kong in the face his dorsal plates glow but cuz it was day time it looked more darker, same for when Godzilla did an atomic breath battle with mechagodzilla

I was originally planning on getting the painted version, but after this review I’ve changed my mind on this guy. I can’t wait to run some light wires up along his back for display!

[@growlie2676]

Will you do a video on that? It sounds awesome.

[@ShinRobjira]

Do hope you show some video and pictures of that! Very much wanting to see it!

[@emperorkiron3470]

@@growlie2676 it’s pretty simple, probably just run two neon light wires hidden behind the outer dorsal spikes along his back

[@joseconcepcion6949]

Wow that looks amazing it’s like the first hyia Godzilla statue, that’s all translucent the stylist series which I have and it’s one of my favorites

[@Spiralinity]

Once I get that figure, I might disassemble the torso from the lower body and insert blue colored LED lights inside of the hollow parts of the mold of the body and plug the torso back into the lower body. Done it with the SHMA Poster Color Version Godzilla 2019 and now I'll like to try it with this. If Hiya makes a translucent version of Burning Goji 2019, it'll be my destiny to also light that boy up with LEDs!

[@quack9355]

Duck here. After getting my "Rre-Ev" Godzilla, I love how the improvements of their is implemented on the newer lines. Hiya Listened to what the fans said about the neck articulation and after comparing to to my Friend's translucent Godzilla and his Godzilla 21, my "Rre-Evolved" can look up more than his GvK Zilla. Not as much as the translucent one because it is made out of a more softer plastic, but they implement the improvements on its neck so it wasn't as stiff and can look up more compared to the old ones. That and the tail can move and be more posable. Hiya listened and kept the lesson they learned be seen in their future release. They really grown on these past 5 years and really made SHMA a run for their money cause... SHMA is too busy siphoning your wallet instead of fixing the qcs of their product .

[@ParrotsAccount]

1. PRe evolved is pretty much the same 2. shma changes the joint style on gxk figures Don’t fight with me. It’s my observations.

[@ShinjiIkari-yl8jw]

Will Hiya ever make a mechaGodzilla 21 figure?

[@sitafuller497]

They confirmed that they will

[@ShinRobjira]

Just a matter of time. I feel, after looking at SHMA's Mechagodzilla, they're just taking their time to really improve where Bandai kinda bruised it. And if that's the case, MG might be their new magnum opus.

[@ShinjiIkari-yl8jw]

yes!!!@@sitafuller497

[@ShinjiIkari-yl8jw]

That's good to hear but hiya is rlly cooking rn@@ShinRobjira

[@Cybermat47]

Awesome looking figure, but I think the way that the atomic breath plugs in is kinda awkward. Has anyone tried using the SHMA atomic breath piece with this mould?

[@vernedejonghedinoman5]

I absolutely need this guy. I dont know how but i dont have any articulated godzilla’s yet, and i NEED. Them in my life. I wish i could get one. I just want to hold such a beautiful figure in my hands. If i could choose out of all figures from Godzilla ever i would go for this and the KoTM version. I wish i could have one of these bad boys!

[@ThomasKubera]

Reviewing a Godzilla figure with the old doom ost is the best thing ever.

[@ShinRobjira]

Nothing quite hits as hard as a fully charged up Guhdziller and some DOOM!

[@ThomasKubera]

@@ShinRobjira agreed

[@marcosfaundez8013]

Apparently they ever so slightly extended the neck and waist joint from this figure and forward which is why he can look up further

[@GodzillNot]

i hope they do the same with the 2014 one

[@ShinRobjira]

Same, would love nothing more than for GareGoji to finally get a proper Heat Ray variant!

[@fifth_noble8022]

So I got my KOTM to be straight in that pose. BUT park of me thinks the head is slightly off the ball joint. I don’t know for sure but I don’t mess with it too much. But it is straight.

[@Fishinbasser]

Great video! Im excited to see if they added some articulation on the upcoming GxK pre evolved figure.

[@oshhernandez6622]

This is one of my favorite re-issues hia has made

[@Kajiufan2021]

3:27 and very well mixed

[@petroshalkos3453]

Great as always shin ! Now I need the opinion of collectors who own both on which one is more worth the purchase as I will be starting my collection soon, and I want one of these 2, any suggestions out there ?

[@astromonster312]

Pretty sure the trick the it’s using to get a perfectly straight call to arms pose is actually just that the new beam part is more angled upwards at the end that goes in Godzilla’s mouth. Looks good for that pose but it looks too skewed to look good for any other pose of him shooting his breath.

[@thedarkknight1511]

I saw the original release and bought it at fan expo today totally forgetting there was the translucent version which I wanted since I’ve seen this review when you first got it but man oh well I’m still going to enjoy this figure hopefully

[@ronniepatterson2827]

Love how everytime Rob closely inspects HIYA figures, its always omg, did they do it? Yes! The they actually did do it! lol Years of disappointing SHMA inspections will do that to ya - Im guessing

[@ShinRobjira]

It's a mixture of that and just having a certain 'Hiya Expectation' after a rather good streak of releases from them! Pretty soon it might even become a 2nd hand check because I've become used to them fulfilling my hopes lol JUST GIBE DE SHIN GODZILLA, HIYA!

[@growlie2676]

Show SHMA how it's Done! Also want to his other two forms along with a heat ray version and frozen version.

[@ParrotsAccount]

Could this be like statue style hyia Godzilla the whole figure is translucent painted over which is very cool and big time trans.

What exactly would be the appeal of an entirely translucent blue version? He never looked like that in the movies and it would look out of place and garish next to anything else. What am I missing?

[@ShinRobjira]

The same reason SHMA did it... because it's cool lol Sure it's in no way accurate to anything in the MV-scape, but that really doesn't matter in the long run. And since i don't own the SHMA version that would just fill a gap in my heart quite nicely. It doesn't need to happen, but if it does, I'd be happy.

[@connorb237]

​@@ShinRobjirafair enough lol. I just feel like all that beautiful detail is lost when the whole thing is molded in translucent plastic. Lets be real though. The real reason SHMA did it is because it was easy and incredibly cheap. Reusing a mold, putting minimal paint on it, and selling as a full priced figure? Say less haha I think the best way would be to still paint it, but in a way that leaves all the low points translucent blue. Kinda like youre drybrushing the whole thing. That way his whole body looks like its bursting with blue energy. Kinda like how Burning Goji looked in the film, just blue.

What hiya godzilla has the most mobility?
