💀🍌MONKE TIME🍌💀 Hiya Toys Exquisite Basic Kong Skull Island Review

[@mechanwhal6590]

I find it no end of amusing that the words exquisite and basic wind up right next to each other.

[@Kaiju_Kommandox6]

No "monke" intro? It's a sad day...

[@zillago9632]

The world is changing on a terrific way

[@dubletumble99]

“Monke…” MONKE MONK- “Monke,Kaiju,Dragon ball and more.” SHIII-

[@KeanuKaijufan09]

I absolutely LOVE this figure, I just wish he was a bit more accurate to his on-screen appearance

[@Orochi_slayer.5424-mc7hg]

I don't own it... Lol I can't..(no delivery here in India at least where I live) But I actually like the inaccuracy It makes for variety

[@GojiraFan-in9oo]

12:14 in the tree's defense, the GvK Kong can use the tree as well

[@mattisawesome4able]

The lack of waist articulation is what keeps bandai getting my money lol

[@VFUNANDPEACEFULL]

This looks really Great, Hiya did it again

[@TheNoahZilla]

His shoulders despawned 😭😭🙏

[@Boysenberry26]

Tbh they were definitely less developed in the movie compared to gvk/gxk.

[@petroshalkos3453]

By now imma just wait for the beast glove version and pray it has an accurate sculpt

[@ParrotsAccount]

Kong gotta go on a diet lol

[@Average_Godzilla_Enjoyer_1954]

He be chunky lol

@@Average_Godzilla_Enjoyer_1954why hello there spok

@@ParrotsAccount hi

[@GojiraFan-in9oo]

This is definitely one of their lesser releases but it still looks great. Proportions needed to be slimmer, we needed a neutral face, and I'd definitely pay extra for the chain propeller weapon Also, come on guys. Y'all seen the film. We all know he has more ass than that.

[@Mezc0]

Laziness and price aside, I do prefer the paint and sculpt of the new SHMA Kong

[@Gojirawars03]

Should be skinnier and have more accurate proportions, but at least he’s a DIFFERENT SCULPT, BANDAI.

[@brandonott6103]

He’ll probably get a updated version in the future to improve, that’s what we know hiya for, their superior than shma but they still have improving to do on their figures just like the gvk Godzilla they made an updated version

[@christopherfowler3269]

Hey Steven, you can find a Playmates Skull Island Kong online dirt cheap. He comes with the chain and propeller. Works just fine. I use it on my SHM GBK Kong

[@Dilopho]

And then you can repaint that Kong it comes with into an ape warrior with just a splash of red.

[@The_Barroth]

@@Dilophoa hiya red stripes pack could be cool

[@Dilopho]

@@The_Barroth It would, but I doubt Hiya would do that. Playmates on the other hand would be better suited to such a figure. You can army build much easier if they're cheap to buy, you could get 4-5 apes from Playmates for the price of 1 from Hiya. I honestly think they could just straight up repaint that K:SI Kong mold they did, it already looks more like another ape than Kong.

[@iasiahharrison9185]

Got that Animaniacs reference 😂😂😂😂

[@kingjohn8980]

I think the reason they’re taking longer to reveal BEAST glove Kong and Skar King is because they’re trying to make sure the figures are accurate.

[@ParrotsAccount]

Source: trust me bro

[@Themountain6197]

​@@ParrotsAccount looks like he was right new hiya Kong looks straight out of the movie

[@Predatorwarrior18]

I think he looks good. But I agree he should’ve had a boat propeller or at the very least helicopters.

[@TheAverageBattlegroundsUser]

Ah yes, monke reviews are peak 🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿

[@dr_mafoony]

Somehow 9modelism returned

[@duongvutung9495]

[@dk6419]

This figure looks amazing, being massively inaccurate aside. I really hope they get the likeness better with the new empire, which is undoubtedly coming. Im alao hoping we get 3 heads with that that include a calm head. I feel that was missing with this one. I'd love a 2.0 of this one with more accurate head sculpts juat like getting a remake gvk kong.

[@itslittleghost5931]

i feel like this is more accurate to the godzilla vs kong figure than skull island look more accurate than the main godzilla vs kong kong figure

[@reillyseddon7841]

Maybe it’s just me but I think the shf looks a lot better

[@JH-uh9zc]

Kong's got that Homer Simpson gut!

[@Maro-Hell]

I guess if you really wanted to, you could use the tree accessory for the GvK one for when he throws the tree

[@ボリス-j6g]

Yeaaah…

[@ImNotGhostfacee]

I wish Hiya would make 2005 Kong

[@quack9355]

Hiya: Good at Godzilla, Meh at Kongs SHMA: Bad at Godzilla, SUPERB at Kongs

[@lanewaldon6450]

I feel like every Kong should have butterfly shoulder joints 😅. I'd love if Hiya got to make some more ape figures for Kingdom of the planet of the apes

[@angeI-R50]

Hey Steven which king do you prefer hiya gvk king or skull island kong?

[@nathongovea5967]

There's no way this guy thinks this figure is better than the monsterarts kong

[@StevensToyReviews]

I do, because it is. The GxK one.

[@nathongovea5967]

@@StevensToyReviews no it isn't he got a beer belly it more inaccurate than the sh monsterarts kong

No I didn't. KZbin is acting weird. For some reasons comments are popping up and down. I can't even see comments made by myself on my own videos 💀

If Hiya fixes the stomach area then he will be perfect.

I just got Hiya Skull Island Kong and yes it’s extremely sad that SHMA Kong looks like utter garbage compared to Hiya Kong

[@ParrotsAccount]

Lmao no. Shma kong looks miles better.

[@Shingodzillatoyreviews2]

In my opinion this should have been the 2021 kong

I pray for hiya 2005 king Kong

Wasnt that from animaniacs??? Good idea bad idea and it was like some skeleton guy?

[@DOOMguy117.]

Did you actually just upload this video at one in the morning?

[@Ezilla82]

This is alot of Monke business. Still, looking forward to him soon, I do wish he did come with a stoic face sculpt, but beggars can't be choosers.

[@barbaramaynard8709]

They made this one to fat and gvk to skinny

[@Godzillaxdeadpool]

Hello

[@cosmicape4829]

Shma kong is far superior

[@wbhurt01]

Gonna be honest, I feel many of the things that are given a pass would get absolutely railed if it was a Bandai product. I get the beef and their quality is bleh, but I feel like it’d be fair to say Hiya missed a bit with this figure

[@StevensToyReviews]

Nope, not on my end. Yes, it's inaccurate, and I think we absolutely get that and... We get that. Ok. The articulation, Hiya isn't as well in the engineering process and so forth as other companies, namely Bandai, so I would not expect Hiya's monke to hit the exact same poses. I supposed I was lighter on the eyes, but mine weren't too bad. I can't think of much else. It's a BIG step up from their '21 Kong and they responded to criticism on overall design philosophy. And it's $50 compared to $75

[@wbhurt01]

@@StevensToyReviews I for sure agree it’s a step up but the figure had a couple areas that were noticeable. Like the painted scars, you can see the lines where the paint is supposed to follow but is crooked. I also remember in your previous double review you gave a comment on Bandai using painted scars rather than creating texture for them in the sculpt. Kong’s eyes, which you did mention, are very wonky. Unless it was shadows being cast, it looked like his left pupil was massive compared to the right eye’s I feel like it’d be fair to point these out to highlight issues and also say it’s good for what it is rather than a direct pass if that makes sense. It comes off as being, for lack of a better word, petty to another company I promise I’m not trying to be mean or show any malice with the comments. You’re an excellent reviewer and incredibly reliable but the beef with Bandai is.. it’s beneath you for somebody of your talents

[@StevensToyReviews]

@wbhurt01 well for the scars the issue on the SHMA, they used painted instead of the sculpt *when they had the sculpted chest available.* that was already done. For whether the lines are done cleanly, I can't speak for other Hiya product as I don't collect them, but I believe this is the first, or one of, to use the dot printing for paint apps. Even Tamashii struggled hard for the first 2 or so years, so while it's not perfect, that shows they're working to get uniform paint apps moving forward. The thing is, here, you have to look at *everything* and not just one or two things and say well that's comparable so You're petty. This Kong is much more affordable with, albeit not accurate, a great sculpt, paint apps that look great (eyes can vary, I guess we won't agree on the chest), and accessories are solid but could use more. US retail is $50. The SHMA GxK is.... The same with a new coat of paint which fixed none of the sculpt and paint issues, and even for a "base form," it's inaccurate when they've been sitting on the CGI info for 3+ years. It's also $75.

[@Parzulus]

Using inaccurate to say why the shma sucks and then talking about this guy is ver ironic cause the shma looks like gvk/gxk while this is nowhere near ksi

[@StevensToyReviews]

That's completely out of context my friend. And no, it objectively doesn't. They didn't base it off of anything except the skeleton of the design. They didn't use the face, fur patterns, anything. Likewise, I noted this isn't accurate.
