NECA Godzilla 1962 Review

The newest #NECA #Godzilla figure from King Kong vs Godzilla! While not super amazing, it's absolutely the best one NECA has made thus far, and it's good to see them continue to grow after the five years they've been making them.

No premiere this time - we'll save it for the Figure Fight ;)

So that means were getting a figure fight?

[@spee9dy457]

Can’t wait for the fight!!!

[@kevinobill4818]

Where did you buy this figure, Steven?

[@jesseguajardo8592]

I wonder if NECA is to make the Godzilla vs the Thing or Mothra vs Godzilla suit

[@slycat128ii4]

I have a theory that S.H. Monsterarts signed a contract with Neca.

[@hungryfilms3707]

Probably the best neca Godzilla to date. Can't wait for their KOTM figures.

[@draconuistudios6244]

Agreed

[@LuminantYT]

I have one more NECA KOTM Godzilla figures

[@joemama-my2zx]

ok the KOTM godzilla is the worst except the burning

[@Nubbbyy]

Kotm godzilla is nice but the eyes tho

[@ivanlam852]

kinda think 1989 is the best.

[@ben2953]

I think NECA should make a 98 godzilla figure,it would be awesome

[@iasiahharrison9185]

A GINO figure would be sweet

[@lsxfanatic95]

Ugh I knew I wasn't alone. Lol a 98 Godzilla would be so cool. 😁

Ben I don’t like that movie, but the design is good, not to be a godzilla, but a monster

2:06 it looks more like a muffin top

[@ben2953]

The best NECA godzilla figure besides the 2014 and 2019 figures(awesome review BTW)

[@g-manstoyreviews1041]

Just got mine recently. I order two (2) from BIGBADTOYSTORE also NECA Godzilla 1962 is a step in the right direction. As you mentioned, NO bendy WIRE at the end tail so this Godzilla will not have any broken wire or pop out wire to effect the looks. GREAT JOB NECA 👍 ! I totally like to see you do “Figure Fight” between NECA and SHMA versions of this release. Yes, I purchased SHMA GODZILLA 1962 because I mostly collect S.H MonsterArts as you know Steven. Great Review as always, I am just proud to have both figures in my collection now, since it’s one of my favorite Godzilla’s of all time. I have always truly enjoy watching Godzilla vs King Kong movie (1962) 😉!

[@g-manstoyreviews1041]

Sudarshan ara - In my opinion, yes a little hefty and solid figure. If you’re on the bench for this figure by NECA... I think it’s a Great 👍 Figure to purchase. I usually like the SHMA figures because that’s my comparison figures with NECA but in my opinion....You will not be disappointed with this figure .

[@tomservo3401]

I love how the got the classic goofy/silly look of godzilla down with this one. I wish they would make a large 18-20+ in version to go with my mezco Kong.

[@Crazyredemu]

My jaw was off...the hinge, had to buy a second one. Going to try and repair the broken one.

[@x180286]

That's too bad. But I want to get it! from Japan.

[@shirleycai71]

How is the jaw broken

[@ultimatekaijuandavpcollect1065]

Ye and you can keep or sell the other one or even do a tutorial

[@googlyeyes4080]

I feel like we expect a bit too much out of a $23 figure. I mean, that's about the price of an average Bandai figure. Neca gives us the benefit of articulation for a price better than SHMA can offer. $23 vs $100? That's a huge difference. SHMA HAS to be superior to Neca. Being a casual 62 fan, this figure was absolutely perfect for me. I recommend buying these figures in person, that way you can pick out the best one. Even though I felt the quality was overall consistent between all the figures. Thanks for the review, S!

[@StevensToyReviews]

The problem is, though, some of their other

[@googlyeyes4080]

@@StevensToyReviews I'm sure it has to do with liscensing/copyright issues with TOHO. Maybe Neca isn't allowed to do a full-likeness, such as with the Atomic Breath (even the name was changed to Heat Ray Blast)

[@theonionfromshrek340]

@@StevensToyReviews dont you know that the beam for this Godzilla is also a reissue of the beam from the neca gmk atomic blast version.

5:21 is it just me, or does Gojira look somewhat adorable/cuddly in that shot?

[@GhostZeninUchiha]

Yea 😂😂😂😂

[@JoshuaModerwell]

I wish all of the NECA Godzilla figures had been given the same tail articulation and I also wish the people who work for NECA had released figures of how Kong had appeared of the 1962, 2017 and 2021 films too.

[@dragonzilla6482]

I ordered the NECA Godzilla 1962 last night and I love the 62 Godzilla, you one my favourite depictions of the king.

[@masterkinggodzillafan16]

The best NECA Godzilla figure yet. Glad I bought this.

[@turtle-tank8231]

just picked him up at Target and I love him

[@tommypigskin2552]

Definitely pair him with the mezco king kong of skull island. Its only $40 and its probably the best kong figure to date. If you do get it, remember to heat up all of the joints with a blow dryer, since they are a bit stiff out of the box.

[@WHOOOSHXDOfficial]

Don't Read My Profile Picture the NECA King Kong is better

[@naythangutierrez1068]

This is my top 5 best neca godzillas ever

[@zetazakucy2582]

I desperately want neca to make a millennium Godzilla or a final wars Godzilla

[@tommypigskin2552]

Patience is a virtue. Also if they don't I'm burning down the NECA headquarters

I want a milenium godzillaaa!!!!!!!! The SHMA is brutaly expensive

[@callofdutyplayer1ful]

I been waiting for this man!

[@kingkurok3149]

My biggest issue is the lower jaw, if they fixed that he'd be perfect

[@godzilla154]

The foot on mine pops off too. But I gotta put a little force on it. I need to heat up the waist on mine a little more. I haven’t been able to get too much movement out of mine. I have gotten the legs to go out a little bit. But he’s Thicc so the they are limited. Elbows on mine aren’t really tight at all but that’s probably just a slight difference in QC Great review Steven!

Thanks, my dude!

[@theonionfromshrek340]

[@daimajin1345]

I think Neca should get Grove to do more Godzilla figures.. this is one of the most accurate depictions I’ve seen of Godzilla in their lineup.

[@hellcatdave1]

I really want Toho/Bandai to give them the all clear to make the best Godzilla figure they can. I have no doubt in my mind that they would seriously give SHMA a run for its money, I mean Holy shit their Alien and Predator figures are great.

[@VizzleSizzle]

"if neca can continue this trend moving forward" felt that one :(

[@kaiju-odanny9778]

I hope NECA make Godzilla 2002 figure. Also a SHMA/NECA Godzilla 2004 (FinalGoji), Godzilla 2000 (MireGoji), and Godzilla 1974/1975 (MegaroGoji).

[@therocketman8933]

Your wishes come true xd

[@WHOOOSHXDOfficial]

They made a 2003, so close enough

[@WHOOOSHXDOfficial]

There should be a 2000 Godzilla figure by Neca that would be epic and amazing!

Yeeeeeeaah

[@martinmorales1979]

Picked him up this week. Still contemplating if I want to keep him in box or out

[@colossaltitan2400]

Why would you want to keep it in the box I know the box looks nice but I have mine and I took it out that would be a waste of money tbh

[@MUIZILLASAURUS_REX]

I love this Its a good figure Kids can PLAY WITH IT ( *HOLY SHIT* ) It has lots of atriculation It has an atomic breath AND IT LOOKS GOOD Totaly gonna buy

[@Smiller1689]

I'm somewhere in the middle with this figure. I was sort of disappointed that there was no ab crunch and the paint on the dorsal plates were chipping off forcing me to have to repaint the dorsal plates. However, I love that they made improvements with the tail and even though the face looks weird, I think it has its own unique charm to it.

[@StevensToyReviews]

No ab crunch? There's one on a double ball joint, maybe you might need to blast it with heat a bit more? But yeah, they mixed improvements with some steps back

[@kaijuprod]

Wow! Kingoji is cool!😊

[@tasidoti]

I'm sad because I got mine last week and when I took it out of the box the jaw started to pop out and I saw that the left hand was swollen so I got to send it back and get a new one

[@GodzillaFan8889]

Yeah it looks nice! I love the beam effect!

[@EthanTheDinoNerd]

The only problem I have with this figure....my figure...is that the mouth doesn't close. the same problem I had with my Neca NES Alien 3 figure where the mouth just won't close as if the mouth is molded to the head and not a separate piece.

[@EthanTheDinoNerd]

$25?

[@raptros]

I got mine today, very happy with it. i can easily skip on the SHMA version even now that the prices for one have gone up and beyond.

[@GodzillaHorrorGuy]

Godzilla final wars is my all time favorite godzilla and i hope that neca or sh monster arts will make one

[@RajinAnims175]

Here's a little story time on this boi, so I was put with the fam at Target, I was toy hunting for the 2019 Godzilla, I didn't find it but I did find the 1962, 1954 poster version, and 2014, since I didn't find it, I went to another Target, but that one didn't even have one NECA godzilla! So I now regret not getting the 1962.

[@conordolan009]

I have 3 Neca Godzilla figs, I own the Godzilla Vs Biollante 1989 fig, King Kong Vs Godzilla 1962 fig and Mothra Vs Godzilla 1964 fig, but good review👌👌👌

At the base of the atomic breath piece you can see some holes in it that I'm pretty sure they put in there for the poster version of the 1954

When I had the SHMA out of the box for the size comparison section, I couldn't stop messing with it again. While the NECA is good, the SHMA is the better figure except when it comes to paint (and even then, if they'dve painted the nails, there'd be no contest).

For heating up the joints, should you use a hair dryer or hot water? If water how hot? Thanks. (new to NECA)

[@StevensToyReviews]

Either or! I prefer hair dryer.

[@MegaEvilsaurus66]

I just got this figure a few days back. I'd say that it's a nice figure more the most part. The paint is quite nice, and the articulation is decent. The eyes aren't quite right to me, however. They are looking too far forward to be accurate, which further detracts from the overall accuracy of the figure itself. The dorsal plates are great, but they're just a bit over painted in my personal opinion. As for broken joints, my figures has issues with its left arm. It was detached in the package, which isn't good at all. Every joint is either stiff or overly loose, with no in-between. Kind of annoying, even after using a hair dryer. Finally, the sculpt is great compared to NECA's previous releases, but it looks and feels off to me. It's just lacking in very specific areas, and while those imperfections might be minor at a glance, it becomes more apparent the longer you look. The figure looks very nice for the price, but yet leaves me wanting more.

[@StevensToyReviews]

Totally agree this figure isn't perfect - NECA didn't bring their A game with production value, but I give credit where credit is due for the sculptor and though it's stylized, it captures the feel of the suit, and considering it's $25, the inaccuracies are passable *by itself*. The actual production stuff, however, NECA just needs to up their game... but we'll have to wait and see.

[@MegaEvilsaurus66]

@@StevensToyReviews It is now apparent to me that the NECA figure has a rough textured underside to its tail, which isn't accurate. Not sure if you want to include this in the figure fight, though.
