I know it’s already been done but I wanted to compare the SHMA Godzilla (2002) with Hiyas (plus a quick review of the Hiya Godzilla (2002)

This might just be the biggest 180 I’ve ever seen a figure do. The first photos we got of this thing looked like unwiped ass and looked little to nothing like the film design but now I think waiting has paid off. The neck piece had me worried at first but honestly it’s not as bad in person and I never believed that you can replicate a neck like that and make it perfectly articulated without some compromises.

Pros:

- most film accurate looking figure
- paints on the eyes and teeth are very nice
- solid and nothing pops off ESPECIALLY THE LEFT ARM! (Looking at you SHMA)

Cons:
- can’t look up as high as what was shown in the solicitation photos
- the blue was a little overdone and might throw the look off for some people

I feel this release was executed better over SHMA and think this is probably their best Millenium Godzilla yet. Really happy with how this turned out!

I can’t help but love both of these designs.

Both Blockees kits came in this week and and I didn’t realise how different these two designs were from each other until now but love both of them for different reasons

Finished my very first full repaint.

I would like to personally thank u/robolizard222 for helping me get the custom head and to help me kick off the project. Although I liked Hiya’s version upon release. The paint really annoyed me so I painted it myself around the start of the year. Overtime my repaint started to look worse as I slowly realised how amateurish it looked so I decided to paint it all from scratch. Now I can say that I’m happy with the end result and I can put all the stress behind me.

How often do you revisit cinemassacres Godzillathon series on YouTube?

At the age of 8, one of my first introductions to Toho’s Godzilla was cinemassacre/AVGN Godzillathon. Ended up going through a rabbit hole that got me into the series.

Bought another GMK because I’m planning on doing a full repaint and I forgot how awful the paint was on this release

Whats the most accurate shade of dark grey that I use for GMK’s skin tone?

Planning on doing a second repaint of my GMK figure but I’m struggling to find a middle ground when it comes to choosing. Every reference photo online has him in different colours and it’s driving me nuts
