Hiya Toys Exquisite Basic: Kong Skull Island - Kong (2017) | Figure Review

[@ShinRobjira]

If ya like this Kong Figure, Consider INS Hobby! - inshobby.com/ftxc9y

[@godzillacc5]

A Kong that looks like the GvK one but moves like this one would go so hard

[@ShinRobjira]

Oh it absolutely would! Which has me very curious and hyped for the GxK version 👀

[@Godisazilla]

Right! They could pull a version 2.0 with the KSI body and GxK details!

[@Godzillakingofthemonster-gq1xp]

Are you worried about the cheeks?!

[@fartpantsmcdingle]

Yeah and it would be nice if it didn’t only have a roaring head and a resting bitch face head

[@Adrian-ps7iu]

Yes.​@@ShinRobjira

[@lanewaldon6450]

This figure really makes me wish Hiyatoys would either go back and redo their planet of the Apes figures or get to make some for Kingdom of the planet of the apes 😅

[@goliath_beast7967]

I'm here after Hiya revealed their new figures at San Diego Comicon. GxK Kong looks perfect and has the shoulder system this figure has.

[@TheGrinchKiryu]

Oh god kong 2024 was revealed 3 months ago?

[@GojiraShwe]

Kong boi lookin like Hank Hill from the back! 😂😂😂😂

[@brianhuynh2023]

That was awesome figure. And guess what? I did watched Godzilla & Kong The New Empire movie in the AMC theater with my friends today.

[@spikezilla]

The reason they had cgi model for the skull crawler but not kong is becuse it was i.l.m (industrial light and magic) who did the cgi on skull island and hiya might not have had acces to one of the biggest cgi Companys models. Then how do they have the skull crawler model then???? My gusse is they used the model from gvk not skull island (sorry if i made any spelling mistakes)

[@ShinRobjira]

Don’t even worry about the spelling mistakes, because I think you’re right on the money there! Never occurred to me at all that the Skullcrawler was likely just an asset from GvK. Damn. Good noodle!

[@TheZooBoy111]

This Kong is incredible, can’t wait for either a new GvK Kong or GxK figure with this added articulation!

[@XXGODZILLAXX439]

Just recently got the g21 beam/Translucent godzilla and I absolutely love it

[@ShinRobjira]

Yeah mannn Translucent Goji is a work of art! Didn’t think they’d be able to beat the first Heat Ray version. Boy howdy did they.

[@OpekeNP]

seeing the change and progression in the sculpt for Kong, In the New Kong in comparison to these previous Ones,Is so cool. On The new Upcoming, You can really see his Body details, His fur, The accuracy is on Point. and seeing all if this, Without actual promotional pictures for him, says enough.as they say Hiya is cooking, and i’m all here for it

[@Kongu954]

Getting this chonkie boi regardless but yeah, it’s with said chonk that I’m getting a Peter Jackson’s King Kong vibe from him. The articulation is great, hopefully all the positives from the two Kong releases gives us an amazing GxK Kong. Great review as always my brotha and congrats on the Hiya Toys collaboration!!!

[@panduallen6712]

Harold from Figuremania pointed out how it looks like this waist fits better with the GvK one, vice versa. I wonder if someone would do that so that the rest of us could see how it looks. If it is better, I probably would buy duplicate of both to make it.

[@Espungus]

Sorry if is a hard question but , I have a Hiya toys Godzilla 2019 figure that i recently buy that it has 2 small articulation parts stuck in the tail , when I try to move it it doesn’t move it only rotates a little bit I have tried to heat the affected part with a dryer and it doesn't work . I have also submerged it in hot water while it was covered with a bag and it doesn't work either. Taking into account your experience with this type of figures I wanted to ask you this question.

[@ShinRobjira]

My only suggestion when faced with this issue is keep trying with the heating method. Maybe keep it under the hair dryer a bit longer, some joints (as I’ve seen) can be REALLY stuck and need a bit more the heat and a jostle to really get them going. Just be careful, is all.

[@petroshalkos3453]

I have the same problem too lol

[@javivaki]

1:10 is the funniest part to me for some reason. 8:11 When this figure was shown off in promos, I knew there something off. Seeing it side by side with stills from the movie, it's very apparent the likeness was somewhat missed. At least Hiya will know their little goof from this vid (Congrats on the sponsor from them!)

[@Kiryu_02]

He obviously cut off on the Big Macs between skull island and GvK

[@ShinRobjira]

The McTitan Titan Mac is not good for a growing Monke.

[@chancegivens9390]

5:51 That shit cracked me up!!

[@RickDaSquirrel]

Looks nothing like his movie counterpart :(

[@ShinRobjira]

While true, he’s still very much an upgrade from the GvK Kong in terms of articulation. A mixed Monke bag. But at least it’s not ALL downers here.

[@Ollimus]

1:26 this is my favourite part

[@Natezilla_2]

No monke cheeks 😞

[@ShinRobjira]

A crime against all Monke cheek 😞

[@holycow2013]

@@ShinRobjiraindeed a crime agents monke cheek 😢

[@obamaobama7999]

The thiccness of this figure at all as yes it's not 100% accurate it still looks looks like a young kong from the monsterverse and way more like a monsterverse accurate kong then SHMA

[@ShinRobjira]

Yes, Thiccness aside, he’s still got his higher points! SHMA may still have the articulation game played but… oof.. their Kong is uh. Not great. lol I’m all for Hiya to continue experimenting and perfecting the craft!

[@Dilopho]

I'd rather have had a frowning face, like the one he shows for 90% of his screen time, than the tree that he has for all of 5 seconds in the movie. I'm glad you agree that he should have had that face.

[@wedgecentral7274]

Is it smaller than other figures, yes Is it still good, yes does it look like a drunk middle aged father, YYYYYYEEEEEESSSSSS.

[@jaykerprod.2001]

Awesome Review yet again Rob! Yeah he does look a bit off but from certain angles he did match that of the Movie, for example here 10:11 at least imo. But overall a nice MONKE BOI! still can't believe Suko is as bog as this Kong...🤣 ALSO WHERE THA CHEEKS?!🫣

[@Kumalala_real]

Monke. I made it before the noti AND the discord noti :)

[@ShinRobjira]

I appreciate your haste :)

[@FigureManiaShow]

Nice vid, bro

[@ShinRobjira]

Thank you sir 🫡!

[@ralphyfirebird4662]

Nice review and cool figure

[@ShinRobjira]

Thanks fam, glad ya enjoyed!

[@RichieReviews01]

Im still not szre if i should get this or wait a re-tool of the gvk Kong…

[@eviastellarcosplay]

That buck could be a good usage for one or some of Skar King's Loyalists. Hoping Hiya does make some of them especially since some of us don't customs.

[@Atomicgow]

This video was made I say after my birthday

[@UI-2018]

I like the skull devil more but this one is still cool

[@Itz_Iceddd]

All hail our Hiya Overlords!!

[@kaiju_boi9]

the face looks pretty good, it looks like Kong but the torso is kinda idk man it's kinda thick. personally i like Kong 2021 more! let's see what Hiya has in store for us for the GxK line!

[@spikezillaproductions9482]

Great video my friend

[@Brandon-gl6ki]

And live your collection

Hopefully they get GxK version right.

Sorry Rob the S.H MonsterArts Kong 2024's monkey cheeks have been murdered

[@abyaby2743]

Now what we need is a GxK version with the beast Glove

[@Adolphus_of-bysantanium]

Why does he have a more strong man build than kong 2021

[@ShinRobjira]

I guess it’s the Kong Mold Reboot or something lol

[@paleoscinkus542]

Personally, I like the bulkier Kong so this doesn’t make or break it at all for me. I’ll definitely pick this one up over GvK

[@ボリス-j6g]

Ain’t no way! My favouriye Kong!

[@Angwhyrus]

Playmates seemed to have done the same thing with one of their skull island kong figure, they made him a bit more plump.

[@mechanikongzilla7371]

This figure really makes me NOT want to own the GvK figure, I rather wait for a reissue someday

[@ShinRobjira]

I think at this point, the GxK version will likely become the main model for GvK Kong, if ever there is a reissue. Very much hoping that it’s the perfect combination.

[@dencocreations1701]

Hiya is soooo close to striking Gold with Kong, if they fix the sculpt, keep the articulation, it will be better than SHMA.

[@alexdurain3753]

It may not be accurate, but that articulation is what the doctor ordered.

[@chiapetobama7281]

Now that you’re sponsored by Hiya toys, I hope that they look at your concerns with this figure and release an updated figure in the future (movie accurate fur version with a neutral expression head piece, and maybe a chain propeller for the skulldevil fight)

[@ShinRobjira]

If they do look into my comments, I hope it’ll only add to a peak GxK Kong. It would be nice to get the “Deluxe” treatment for KSI Kong further down the line, I won’t deny that.

[@Djp1900-k7]

Another great review Rob and also congrats on the partnership with hiya! Keep up the great videos 🔥 Yes your welcome with the 5 dollar patreon sub and official join in to help out with your journey on making more great content. Kind regards rob 👍🏼

[@ajmorales5748]

on the fence of getting this one, love the articulation but the torso piece and color is throwing me off since I'm crazy for accuracy

[@huntercasey2237]

Like holy hell they even put detail for the dark brown withering/wear in the center of the moulers for the roar head hiya goin the extra mile

[@kevinobill4818]

Oh, when you look at this Kong and you may see a Ron Perlman expression in it.

[@theyeecats3084]

YUNG MONKEEEEEE

[@Elite_kong]

I was exited that i could get a figure of my favourite kong design but now i thing hiya screwed up with kong.

[@stopmotionanimations5106]

Did Kong get plastic surgery?

[@PugProductions1954]

How dare they take the precious monke cheeks from us!

[@ShinRobjira]

They know not what they have done. Only in time will the wounds and cheeks heal 😞

[@elliotgandersen]

I feel like the color is off, should be more orange?

[@ajmorales5748]

like a brownish yea

[@astromonster312]

Maybe I’m crazy but I want a like… 2 inch tall Kong and Skull Devil to scale with the other movies lol

Hiya toys Kong looks good but he didn’t look like a sumo and he’s thinner than he looks. Btw, the ass cheek is so funny.

[@superiorcybergodzilla5670]

Hiya Toys must make King Kong (2005) 🤞🤞

[@Liam-wg1nn]

The body felt more like 1962 King Kong to me.

[@EliasRomero-sd8yp]

This Skull Island Kong figure kind of looks like GVK Kong.

[@user-Sofvi.tp5mg6cf3]

It looks the same as 2021, but it's bit different. skull island kong looks younger than 2021.

[@Brandon-gl6ki]

Hi

[@ParrotsAccount]

Im sorry but he kinda looks cheap.. he is kinda glossy and the face paint is kinda weird. Maybe its just me

[@ShinRobjira]

The material for this figure is lighter than previous Hiya releases, and while yes, he does have a bit of gloss on him, I think they made the right decision to go lighter. Feels like they opened the figure up more. The only downside being the 50/50 accurate representation.

[@ParrotsAccount]

@@ShinRobjira lighter kong figures are better I guess, I never really likes gxk playmates kong being heavy since it is harder to pose

The reason why they’re neutering Kongs cheeks is because Kong doesn’t need a gyacht
