    I love hiya. I really do. And I would pick it over SHMA eight times out of ten. But honestly this is a total deserved win for SHMA. The poster color ver. Is one of the best figures they’ve made in the past 6 years, and it’s going to be kept that way for a long time. Hiya is great. But SHMA just did it better.
    too bad it’s $300+ 😭

      I think SHMA needs to stop being so lazy and making stronger tail joints “cough” “cough” gvk Godzilla tail. hiya will stay somewhat cheaper and is getting better honestly with every iteration since they are newish. And hiya is more movie accurate in color and head mostly which is a huge factor. I think SHMA is still good just better for older godzillas but the true champion of all is neca old reliable

    Great fight! I don't have the shma poster version, but I do have the Hiya translucent. It's awesome, and I personally prefer Hiya's representation of Legendary Goji. The bulk is great, the accuracy on point, and it's more fun to play with. I love my shma figures too, but have to be more delicate.

      It is one of their better ones to be fair, but still not worth their asking price in my opinion. The sculpt they’re using is older than some real life children at this point, which is just a sorry excuse to shell out this inaccurate sculpt every time for quick money. It’s pathetic man.

      Keep in mind too g19 has the original 2019 goji head sculpt before they kept reusing the alternative head sculpt seen on every MV goji figure since burning godzilla. Don't say it's one of the better figures but simultaneously call it goofy. Both companies are constantly reusing the same sculpt, but the difference between tamashii and hiya is that hiya reusing their sculpts have the same quality and price across the board.
      Tamashii's quality either goes up or down every time they use this sculpt but poster version g19 (which is only their 2nd time they reused the sculpt) is a good example of quality. Price aside, it's still one of the better figures out there and lives up to it's translucent name a bit better.

      The color scheme might. Being covered in blue entirely instead of just the parts that are supposed to be blue, might very well turn people off from buying, so in that sense, the hyia is still much more paletable.

    Sculpt and paint should really be two separate categories. Hiya wins sculpt objectively, no room for argument there. But paint is more open to debate.
    Hiya wins paint too in my opinion, the SHMA is just too inconsistent and patchy with the color transitions. That figure is incredibly overrated.
    Still think the first Hiya atomic breath version is better than both of these.

    • @StevensToyReviews
      @StevensToyReviews  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Nope. Those two are the contributing factors to the look of the figure. It doesn't matter if the figure is sculpted amazingly well if it can't be appreciated (re: OG SHMA). However, the paint can make it pop exceedingly well and the two blend together amazingly (re: G-Store Shin).

    • @connorb237
      @connorb237 Před 3 měsíci

      Yup. A figure can have a great sculpt, but poor paintjob. Which at least gives it value as a potential custom.
      Alternatively, if a figure has a cool paint job but poor/inaccurate sculpt (like this poster color SHMA) there is really no saving it from mediocrity.
      Saying that the SHMA wins the category of "sculpt and paint" is incredibly misleading and far from the truth.

There's a difference between mushy sculpt and intricately detailed.

      I just think its silly to not factor in sculpt accuracy for figures that are supposed to represent specific versions of characters.
      You have spoken before about the accuracy of figure sculpts relative to the Showa or Heisei suits theyre supposed to represent in other reviews. I guess Im just confused why it suddenly doesnt matter here?
      For higher end figures like these, most collectors will care about accuracy, and the Hiya is clearly superior on that front. And its not like the sculpt is mushy at all either.
      I get that this SHMA is highly regarded, but to just dismiss the objective flaws that it has seems dishonest. Claiming the sculpt and paint superior on the SHMA in broad strokes like that is absolutely misleading to the consumers watching this video.

      While that is true, SHMA translucent goji has an overall better execution for what it’s intended to be

      Yea that's true but shma just has better painting, hiya just looke pretty bland, the non translucent version is better considering it has better paint

      Hiya has the win with sculpt for several reasons as mentioned many times accuracy. Persoanlly I'm sick of yuji Sakai as it's stylised and just a reason for shm to bump up the price. Second ans connected to articulation no obnoxious gaps compared to shm.
