>>10624931>So how are the Hiya Toys Godzillas?Good. Obviously, the articulation isn't as good as the SHMA, but they are still very solid.
> Do they have better sculpts than monstersarts?in hard detail... no. The softer plastic really makes it so that they can't hold as much detail as the SHMA's harder plastic The new KOTM Godzilla doesn't have as much of a problem with this as the previous figures though and I'd say that the head sculpt is way better than the degraded hed mold for the SHMA GVK Godzilla. However, in general, the sculpts are more film-accurate than the SHMA sculpts even if not as detailed. The Hiya Kong is a bad figure though, so I'd suggest grabbing the SHMA. It's not film accurate, but it's got much better articulation and much better sculpted detail.
>>10624943I really enjoy the latest Shin Godzilla, but it's got issues with the teeth that are pretty much inexcusable for the price, especially since it is a 7-year-old sculpt that could easily have had its head retooled like the recent Gamer reissue that has a vastly improved head sculpt.
>what are some relatively cheap alternative Monsterarts to get?The days of $75 Monsterarts seem to mostly be over. The New "Standard" price for a basic Godzilla is $90. The cheapest still available SHMA figures are the Monsterverse figures (which, outside of the Kong, I would just advise you to get the Hiya versions instead) and the 1954 Godzilla which is like the third time SHMA has reissued the figure in seven years.
