>>11039106>>11039106HIYA gets access to the final film models for their figures, so their figures are more accurate because of that. SHMA sometimes gets the film models for their figures or claims they do, but it seems like more often they get the concept art and then modify it from there. Their 2019 Godzilla prototype looked more like a slightly earlier version of the DougheGoji model, their Ghidorah is like a frankenstein of several Ghidorah concept arts, etc
>>11039113nah the HIYA is the film model, they seemingly caught the SHMA in time otherwise it would have looked like pinhead larry from the concept art. the SHMA is a bit stylized but its a case where Yuji Sakai(or whoever the modeller was on it)'s stylization actually worked in favor of the figure.
