According to the store page info, they DID update the engineering, which is evident in the strength of the joints. I'm VERY glad that my first official Ghidorah figure has no issues with parts popping off.

[@StevensToyReviews]

There's nothing on any of Bandai's pages about them changing the joints. This is a repaint, the joints are the same. The quality control is just better (read: actually acceptable).

[@chinoyomaji288]

Yo this is my first KG figure too from shmonsterarts

[@Nick-wb9cz]

Good review. Appreciate your honesty about this one and its QC. I am waiting on pre-order for it as I missed the first one but I am very excited to have this one. SCV Monsterarts like the old Heisei Ghidorah and the Biollante are among the biggest highlights in my collection, so this one will not be am exception. Regarding accurate/non-accurate paint, I've always been in the opinion that we never really got to see Ghidorah in his proper color in the movie because of the constant storms, shadows, and particle effects that really stopped us from seeing his true color. The original Monsterarts while more accurate looked terrible in its application and I am not opposed to having a golden version that is more traditional for the character. Good review again and much appreciated.

Rip Akira Takarada. You will be missed🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@tiernanmcculloch]

Hm. I trust your opinion, I have been watching your videos for about 6 years now and I normally do trust your opinions. But I just don't think this figure does enough for me. I think the fundamental design for the original figure is weak, and it cannot rely on itself as a figure, needing way too many support stands for me to consider it a fun time to pose. While yes, the much more solid joints and better painting seem superior, I am not gonna waste more money on a sculpt I already have and hate. Even with that said, despite Monsterarts always having had a track record for low accuracy, the new paint still isn't accurate. In the film he was somewhat of a combination of both the versions we got, a dark gold with accents of green in some lighting/spots. I think if they really wanted to do an accurate sculpt they could have, but instead they just addressed issues people had with the original and didn't push their goals beyond that. That is fine I guess, I am glad people who hated those issues are pleased, but I would have preferred waiting a few more years to get an entirely new and more accurate sculpt that wasn't so heavy and hard to handle. I get that is a tall order, but if it can't be fulfilled, I really don't see the point in having a KotM Ghidorah figure at all, especially considering I have the first release and I don't see the point in owning that aside from for resale value someday..
