Let's use this thread as an all purpose discussion for new Hiya Toys info in 2024. Some side chat is ok, just try to keep it focused on the new stuff!

Follow the Hiya Toys news category for all the latest on their figures.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters – Mothra Emerald Titan Version by Hiya Toys

[ghostbogey]

Mixed Feelings...
on this one...
from Hiya ;^)

[Smasher]

I'm not pre-ordering this one, but I might get it once the reviews come out.
The eyes look kind of odd in the photos -like they're the same color as the rest of the head.
On closer inspection they're not.

I don't think it looks nothing like Simon Pegg, and it does look a bit like a young My Cocaine.
But to me it looks more like they just didn't get the likeness right.

If I just saw that picture without any description I think I would be like "Scotty?"
It looks enough like him that I know who it's supposed to be, but doesn't have that exact likeness that their other figures have.

EDIT: It's not like I know Simon Pegg personally or anything, but I have a hard time imagining him withholding his likeness from this figure.

It looks really good.
With Toho's recent bent towards merchandise for kaiju other than Godzilla, and Hiya's bent towards creating obscure characters, I hope Hiya makes some of Godzilla's rogue gallery.

I've been here before, but it seems more likely to happen now than it has in the past.

Yup so far I have all the Hiya Monarch related releases expect the electric godzilla and the new mothra (teal color).

Curious where you've seen these obscure characters? Have pics or any links?

Because up until now with them showing the 91 Godzilla they've only had the the license to the current Monarch Monsterverse. They've only made the main Kaijus. The Skull Crawler (Main antagonists of KONG Skull Island) and Muto (Main antagonists, of two, of 1st Godzilla movie) haven't been released.

I'm sorry.
I meant Hiya as a company has a bent towards obscure characters -not that they have done obscure Godzilla Kaiju.
Although Bandai has had a long time to do a MUTO and the Skull Devil -but I suspect they consider them obscure.

I mean characters like:
Mean Machine Angel https://www.toyark.com/2022/08/26/ju...ya-toys-481669
Caligula https://www.toyark.com/2022/06/17/hi...aligula-471410
Anderson's corpse https://www.toyark.com/2023/07/13/ju...ya-toys-505734

Even their Star Trek line has the likes of Nero and Keenser.

I've owned two and seen most of the SH Godzilla figures out of package..they are 80% miss for me. Some are hits. The prices make them plastic price gouging trash, to me.

[Smasher]

Yeah.
Wow.
Like I said, with the Hiya one I'm at least like "That's Scotty, right?"
With the Playmates one I would have no idea that's supposed to be Scotty.

I might actually think it was supposed to be a Vulcan or Romulan.
