Playmates: Godzilla x Kong The New Empire - Godzilla vs. Shimo | Diorama Set Review

[@KaiJuraSaurusMovieProductions]

idk why but every standard evolved godzilla playmates makes they always come out different from one another with the face

[@Ollimus]

Just saw the movie a few hours ago, it was awesome. I would like to talk about how the film portrays Shimo (and how much I liked her) but that would go into spoiler territory.

[@ShinRobjira]

Shimo was a highlight up until the end, we’ll say 👀

[@CobbleBompster]

It was fine, but it was definitely the weakest film of the MonsterVerse

[@dinogamerxxxx5486]

Weakest monsterverse movie? It was awesome.

[@devonbolanos5528]

My shimo from this 2 pack is very different, as it has no big blue spots anywhere besides the back spikes. Instead, shimo has a very light blue gradient all over the figure. To me, it looks like a perfect balance between the single release and how most of the 2 pack versions look.

[@mm39607]

Mine's has that light blue as well, and even though I was expecting her to have this intense blue as shown in the package and this video, I still love her figure.

[@devonbolanos5528]

@@mm39607 Yeah at first I thought the blue was just completely missing until I took a closer look under good lighting, and realized that I actually liked it more this way more, compared to the intense blue.

[@bigbaddwolf90]

I'm hooked on Hiya! Their evolved Goji, and Shimo look stellar!

[@GojiLand2]

you should do review on sham 1991 Godzilla

[@ShinRobjira]

I’m just gonna wait on the Hiya release at this point. The SHMA release seems too 50/50 for the asking price.

[@GojiLand2]

i got it and the jaw and tongue keep falling off@@ShinRobjira

[@TakaGojii]

personally, my shimo from this set is actually missing the dark blue body paint and just has the light blue, and in a way i prefer it over the fully painted version and the basic 6 inch version.

[@UnflinchingNematodes]

The blue is really nice looking with the pink

[@officershimo]

For some reason my copy of the diorama set Shimo didn’t have the blues she only had a very suttle light blue tint that was hard to notice under regular light and it’s not the only one so I painted mine and I now call this color scheme blue ice ver. And mine I call “dragon color” as I use it for dragon versions

[@mm39607]

Spectacular set! And awesome review, thanks for going in detail with both of them, this was just the review I was looking for. Here were I live these figures are rather expensive, so I really needed this insight of the figures. Glad to see they are great, and well made!

[@GrimyTony8374]

I’ve been waiting for this review

[@ShinRobjira]

Hope it was worth the wait, fam! Sorry for the delayed release!

[@GrimyTony8374]

It was worth the wait

[@chancegivens9390]

So many customization options! Id like to make shimo into the Godzilla 98 unmade kaiju Gryphon! And a Varan.

[@Gojiboyo]

I went to my local target the other day, found the entire 6’ line (besides regular Goji) and since they’re only $10 each (and with my $1 off all toys coupon) I got more or less the entire line for $45.

[@ShinRobjira]

Not a bad lot purchase, at all. Just scrapping beyond $40 for multiple figures is an actual godsend these days lol

[@bearyzillaproductions5283]

Another hilarious review rob! Idk if I want this set but after this review I want it a little, thanks for this review!!!!

[@ShinRobjira]

Glad ya enjoyed fam! Understandable, since it is kind of a double dip… BUT THE BLUUEEESSSS!!

[@mantasma9024]

Now that I’ve watched the movie I can safely say that Shimo is my no1 favourite kaiju in the monsterverse along with mothra and surprisingly Suko But can we talk about Skar King (spoiler alert), literally the scariest things about Skar Kong are his absolutely malicious ways of killing and his sense of humour, everytime he smiled I got scared

[@93Monstermike]

I got Shimo earlier this week and just came back from seeing the movie in theaters as I type this. The movie is actually pretty fun.

[@Parrotfrog]

I hope playmates makes mothra toy

[@ShinRobjira]

you and i both, would loovvee to see what they do for her!

[@mm39607]

I think that just about yesterday there was a leaked set of figures and yes, Mothra is happening.

[@Parrotfrog]

@@mm39607 thats just fake

[@mm39607]

@@Parrotfrog search it out as Godzilla x Kong new leaked figures. Seems legit to me.

[@DR676767]

I really want the Xplus 84 cybot, just don’t know if a can afford one, I hope hiya does the classics

[@brianhuynh2023]

Hi. I love the video review about Godzilla Evolved and Shimo battle set. Have you watched the new Godzilla and Kong movie yet? I will be planning to watch the movie next week with my friends.

[@ShinRobjira]

Glad ya enjoyed the vid, fam! Saw the movie Thursday night & it was quite fun! Hope you and the homies enjoy it!

[@NicolasCageofficiaI]

post peakpire nicolas cage is surprised how similar playmates shimo looks to the real one

[@ShinRobjira]

Surprisingly not too far off from all the blues and such she was repping in the film, makes me wish the Giant & Battle Roar figures of her would’ve just used the same paint applications. But more Shimo, is good Shimo! Glad ya enjoyed the movie Me. Cage! 👍🏻

[@growlie2676]

​@@ShinRobjiraDefinitely getting the Shimo from Hiya eh?

[@TheFallen-ff4xn]

Jesus saw the movie and PEAK I GENUINELY HAD FUN WATCHING IT AND I ACTUALLY LIKED THE HUMAN(mostly because of Bernie) and shimo is actually a woman and I liked how they did skar king he actually kicks ass

[@CAMS_RBXYT-lg9uq]

for some reason when I got the shimo and godzilla 2 pack there was blue on the godzilla but when I got the shimo there was not much blue on mine

[@Goobzilla1954]

So Godzilla just ate a crap ton jolly ranchers and then boom figure

[@ShinRobjira]

Yes, and I’ll take nothing else as canon. Sweet tooth ahh lizard.

[@Thehalfman1234]

Lol

[@growlie2676]

[@Goobzilla1954]

[@mviouscosplay]

The HIya line hasnt got me yet. Will we ever get Hiya figures from the Toho side of Godzilla? I want Hiya figures of all three forms of Shin Godzilla

[@g1rldraco7]

Should have made a drinking game everytime Rob says Jordanian crystals, be bomed off my booty!! Just saw the movie and yeah I assumed Skar King was keeping her like a guard dog I mean come on she had the spiked collar on and everything!!!

[@ShinRobjira]

A ShinRobjira drinking game would leave everyone and anyone bombed off they butts lmaooo I’m too “take a shot everytime he says/does” and I pray for the livers of all who attempt! Yeah the angle was pretty typical, did however very much enjoy her… “adoption” well call it lol

[@UnflinchingNematodes]

i saw the movie yesterday, it was dope

[@ShinRobjira]

Very fun time, indeed!

[@droidzilla22]

I enjoy your content but have you thought about doing a series where you do a critical analysis of the films?

[@ShinRobjira]

I’ve dabbled with the idea a few times here and there. But I could never really coin a decent enough format that felt / came off comfortable and covered all bases that really had me satisfied. A work in progress.

[@growlie2676]

I wish this Alternative Goji came by itself. I don't want to buy both.

[@user-Sofvi.tp5mg6cf3]

SHIMO is a new monster and there's a lot of mystery. but I'm looking forward to seeing in action. Why his name is means Japanese 「霜」 Could that also be the origin?

[@fishpop]

Honestly Shimo looks like a Pacific Rim kaiju

[@ShinRobjira]

Most Original Monsterverse Kaiju do at the end of the day lol

[@tokensdam]

And finally we got a reveal of the Giant Shimo. Took them long enough

[@BladeAllen666]

& I CANN0T WAIT to pick that up! Hopefully, it releases soon.

[@GojiFanAdrian]

@@BladeAllen666the 2 pack? If so, ive already seen it at walmart

[@tokensdam]

@@GojiFanAdrian No, GIANT Shimo. The only giants figure we didn't get yet Battle Roar Shimo and Giant Shimo were recently revealed, as well as a 24 inch Colossal Godzilla and Kong, and the 13 inch Mega Kong and Mega Godzilla

Absolutely, and I hope they do more 👀

[@growlie2676]

Be nice If they were also offered separately.

Minor spoilers for gxk below (just in Godzillas new fighting style it’s not really anything important to the story) Yesterday I watched the movie and Godzilla did a backflip in the final fight and did a suplex (a wrestling move) on kong.. yeah 10/10

[@dubuyajay9964]

F5?

[@grungedorito5735]

Great video! I'm new to Godzilla collecting and was wondering, which line is good to collect? I would like to collect Playmates but over there I saw that it's been a while (according to years) since they released Toho figures, and they dont release them vert often, is that true? I also saw that there is a line called Monster Series by Bandai, do they do scale with the Playmates figures or are they their own thing? Is there a line that has a wide variety of Toho and Monsterverse characters? Thanks, and I'm already subscribed!

[@Primalprima]

Hmmmm. Y’Know phendrana drifts works with shimo. Because of… ice….

[@ShinRobjira]

Shimo and the Sheegoths. Sounds like a 80’s synth pop band. I like it.

[@Primalprima]

agreed. :)

[@Kirby_BallZ]

Can you review the chibi-maru Godzilla vs king ghidorah anniversary edition 🫠, or 🤔, the super 7 reaction figures 🤩!!!

[@SuperGodzilla2]

anyone else feel that Playmates give Godzilla the shaft? he has the least amount of articulation. nothing in the Elbows, nothing in the Knees.... he can only move his arms and legs up and down, im just saying, his name is first, he should get just as much love. even the little monkey has more to work with.

[@ShinRobjira]

I’m not gonna act like I know why he gets the minimal end of the stick, but if I had to guess, it’s easier this way.

[@dubuyajay9964]

Rob, which version of Shimo and Scar King scales best with the Titan Tech figures? Giant? Slightly smaller sound fx version? 6 inch/standard?

[@RAZZPR0D]

I just saw the movie a few hours ago and I thought it was pretty good! Ending was kind of disappointing, i think…

[@ShinRobjira]

You ain’t wrong, it did feel kinda “mid finale” like. I think the MV needs a better set plan instead of going from movie to movie like it’s the last kick,
