>>11283543I think the concept art heads look ugly and boxy, but to each their own. That being said, I don't see where the Smaug criticism comes from, Smaug has a very different snout shape.
>>11283604The SHMA has better plastic quality and better articulation in the necks and tails, plus they are a Japanese company so they aren't receiving the massive tax breaks from the government which are designed to make Chinese companies more competitive and flood the market with Chinese goods.
>>11283605Yeah, I'm really hoping Hiya has improved on the articulation, because sculpt wise, the new GxK Kongs looks really good.
>>11284052I would happily pay $20 more if they started using better plastic.
>>11284266>Is Ghidorah the outlier for that?Not really. Hiya uses a softer rubberized plastic for most of their Kaiju figures.
