S.H. MonsterArts King Ghidorah 2019 Review and Unboxing - King of the Monsters キングギドラ

I do NOT know how I did it, but I missed this picture. This is paint damage to the wing that happened right out of the box. Somehow this was omitted from the review - and I"m not taking it down to add it back in. imgur.com/a/faLg8oo

Before Watching: WTH, what a fast release. After Watching: What a rushed release, WTH?!

[@TOHOREMIX]

Really been on and off about this one and waited for this very review for that reason. Yeeeah, it's pretty much just a statue with articulation (God help those who want to animate this with stop motion) and that paint damage, especially the example posted in your pinned comment should be none existent with something this "premium". Good stuff with this review, I'm glad your still being honest despite the fact Bandai isn't going to do Jack all. This "looks" quite nice for sure with detail and sizing, but everything else kinda kills it. Sticking with the SCV Heisei for this one. Keep it up Steve and enjoy G-fest!

[@peternagy6847]

Honestly, if I wanted a 2019 Ghidorah figure that's actually top quality, I'll just get a statue. Sure it might be more expensive with no articulation, but at least it won't require me to repaint it so that it looks as amazing as it should.

[@huntergreyhoundd]

I was about to get this figure for stop motion 😟 *ik I’m about 5 years late*

[@8bitutopia1954]

If the wings were posable/soft/flexible, then that'd be awesome. I want to try and recreate some of Ghidorah's "wyvern" poses! Good review! And damn he is an absolute unit indeed.

[@gonk986]

Just dropping by to compliment your work on deviant art,great job man.

[@CyberKnightMiky]

It would work, but consider it was shown before the film, and that people complained about gaps. And if the wings were soft,it wouldn't last, consider the experience of bendy wire on Godzilla tails were an issue. If you disagree, that's great, it is your opinion after all. But remember; these figures were made not just to pose and display, but to use them for "Stop Motion."

[@Alpha-ki5gt]

I wish you could make him crawl. This boi is basicly a statue with neck movement

[@astevel560]

I bet the right head horn looks broke to dentify each head Right: broken spike Middle: 2 rows of spike on his back Left/kevin: normal head

[@orcawithdrip827]

Cyptle Wolm THE right head does have the broken horn in the movie when Ghidorah breaks free from his icy prison.

[@astevel560]

Owh didnt notice that

[@blitzhd_8494]

Makes sense. Ni (right head) has a angry personality and loves to pick up fights, Ichi (Middle) is the alpha, so he has more spikes, and Kevin got beaten up and regenerated so many times he is as good as new.

[@CyberKnightMiky]

For my experience, which I uploaded my unboxing: Mine was actually fine, and I do love this figure. With no balljoints poping off the neck (btw, Kevin's head falling off looks accurate to me, cheif , but maybe the right leg and left tail may pop off, but just barely. So no hard issue for me. As for the beams, I made my own. Sure this figure may not be perfect, but at least I have a King Ghidorah figure, so it was worth it. Edit: I forgot to ad this; thank you for the mention of Nii's horn (right head) is suppose to be like that.

[@allancolorado2080]

CyberKnight_Miky mind sharing your secret for DYI Gravity Beams? So let me ask you another question, assuming Bandai makes a version 2.0 that fixes paint, articulation, and maybe accessories, would you still feel happy about owning this Ghidorah?? Here’s my reasoning behind that question, it would be my second ever SHMA fig (G19 is my first) and I would hate to miss out on something so massive and cool, but I would also hate myself for buying something “inferior.”

[@CyberKnightMiky]

@@allancolorado2080shirt answer: Yes. Long answer with my reasons: It depends if they're making a 2.0 of this figure. I mean, many of us wanted a Biollante 2.0 that has the beam because the original nowadays is pricey like over 900 dollars on eBay , but they didn't make one. And I knew the long run from S.H.MonsterArts website that he didn't come with beams so I made my own. And keep in mind that I thinked it thru while it was in pre-order back then. So it was either pay while the cost were around 1 400 kr (140 $ if it's US) plus shipping, or pay later on till the piece gets higher and I miss my chance. So it sås my choice. But you have your own opinion, and I don't mind it. And for the beams, it's bendy wire coated with glue from the glue-gun. I can make the tutorial if you want.

[@allancolorado2080]

@@CyberKnightMiky I see, thanks for your response! I would love to see a tutorial for the gravity beams. My Ghidorah should be arriving near the end of the month.

[@kaiju-odanny9778]

Still hoping if he's available for Barnes and Nobles. Note: If you already received the SHMA Ghidorah (2019) and found the axis problem, unplug the left wing lose so it can be fixed by using tape glue, paper tape, tape, spray for a little bit. Once applying either a masking tape on the hexagonal core of the left wing, It will make it much tighter and secure.

Thank you so much Steven, from all the reviews on KG 2019 I've seen, yours is the most informative. I completely agree that at this point he should be damn near flawless. Kinda makes me want to cancel my pre-order, but you don't know if they'll make another one or not til they announce it 6 months after the fact xD. He'll probably be actually gold and come with gravity beams.

I'm surprised you didn't mention the common issue of the jaws being off-center. They're like that on all the pictures I've seen and on mine as well. I suspect it's a molding issue, the socket for the jaw "joint" must be warped or something. Also; the jaws are not on a hinge, it's just a peg with a rounded off tip. That's right, it's not even a joint. The instructions tell you to NOT put the stands on the spikes. Is there a way to make the ball joints less prone to popping off? The right tail on my Ghidorah drives me bonkers.

KG’s wings are too heavy and the tail ball joints aren’t secure enough. I don’t have any problem with the necks at all. Great articulation and sculpt. The paint isn’t up to usual SHMA standards. I agree that KG’S sheer size is impressive when compared to other figures.

[@SPGojiFan]

Got the figure today. And I was kinda disappointed as you are. However, the heads are much different when it comes to being lose or articulated (the one I have was attached fine I guess), I'm sad no flight stand or Gravity beams (I don't own the original Ghidorahs), I hope the Special Colors can do better and fix that dumb paint.

[@adamramirez507]

Wow your paint job is way different then mine. I'm sure there are slight variants with the paint jobs but my 3 heads look very consistent.

[@tiernanmcculloch]

I'm cautiously excited. Even though I agree that the paint being that iffy for a nearly $200 dollar figure is unacceptable, I never care about paint anyhow, so hopefully I won't care. But I really am not sure if I will be able to animate this thing at all, it just looks so clunky, which is saddening to me, as I really thought from the promotional images that the poseability looked great. Hopefully I will be able to worry about that at all though, because I ordered it nearly half a year ago from BBTS and it still hasn't been delivered, so I guess we'll see in a few weeks, or less, hopefully.
