The neck joints are pretty tight for a bootleg..very impressive! The design is incredible and articulation too!
When the bootleg is just as good as the actual thing
Better, based on how the necks and tails move.
I actually have a bootleg of the sh monster arts 2019 godzilla and it's not too bad... Some of the articulation like the ab crunch and tail are better than the legit one... Although overall its not as good as the legit one
Transformers
no
no
This thing's neck has better articulation than the actual sh release
To be honest, given how cheap tamashii has gone with the MA, i dare say this is like 90% as good theirs would be but at probably 1/6 of the price.
I like how after his left wing fell off you didn’t put it back on and kept reviewing the figure 😂
@Cool Person like most of the current SH KOTM figures
I read your comment ad it happened lol
Imma be honest, comparing the prices of this and official figures, I’d say this would definitely be worth its flaws
Personally I think the paint scheme looks like the suit from Invasion of the Astro Monster where the gold paint on the suit got darker with age or from Godzilla vs Gigan where the gold is this color but it's hard to tell because all the non-stock footage scenes are obviously at night. That's just me though. If SH Monsterarts does do a legit Showa King Ghidorah I wonder, along with Showa style Gravity Beams, could have a replaceable heads. For example the heads on this bootleg being the 1960's heads being base heads while it would also have heads based off the 1970's suits from Godzilla vs Gigan and Zone Fighter that have different horns and eye color. I say eye color cause the 64 suit has red eyes with black pupils while the other suits throughout the Showa era have either blue or black pupils on white eyes.
The figure is painted to mimic the SHMA Ghidorah 2019, do the eye paint is the same as that one, just... bigger.
It’s technically third party since SH Monsterarts never made one (yet)
But no
Steven's Toy Reviews XD. Love how you causally say, “But no”
@@StevensToyReviews but kinda
But yes
But yes.
I have this and I really like it. Besides the wrong color and bad in certain places paint job (spikes), and the right wing that can slide off more easily, it's really nicely sculpted. I'm amazed at how great the articulation on the necks work. I expected them to pop off left and right, and that did not happen.
Send it to someone like me so you’ll have a repaint
I might buy one. It looks awesome and the articulation is excellent. I can definitely repaint it if needed be.
Great review man ! Funny thing, seeing all these other reviews since my original one, despite the quality of the paint being a miss, I've found that quality control wise they all seem to be surprisingly consistent at least haha!
I don't know why so many people are confusion about the model kit theory... It's not a question of weather this figure was based off that kit and then engineered to be articulated by the bootleggers... I honestly don't think anyone believes that...
What likely happened is that Tamashii /MonsterArts made this figure using the sculpt of the kit (like they did with their Biollante figure) , added the engineering and articulation, then the moulds for that prototype were stolen by the bootleggers and they produced what we see here...
The figure and that Sakai kit are way way too similar ! even down to the shape of the folds in the wings, the shape and contours of the manes and the shape of individual scales and creases in the body...
I actually really love this figure. I painted mine a nice proper gold and it’s pretty much perfect! The only problem is the left wing, which is pretty much stuck.
I ordered this bootleg King Ghidorah figure last year from China and after weeks of waiting, it was delivered in Hawaii (which is not where I live). So at the beginning of this year, I bought the exact same figure but this time it was being shipped from someone who lived here in the US but it was overpriced like over $200 and I bought it for less than that, it was delivered to my house and it actually rocks. Although the left wing had something inside the gap that prevented from getting attached so I had to sand down whatever was inside and now I have the figure fully assembled.
If you do recolor this, could you make a vid with advice and how-to for repainting it? =)
HarveyBirdmanrules there is an account in instagram that’s called “Shmonsterarts the articulations series”, he actually repainted this figure and gives the details on how to repaint this, and it looks pretty good
When the bootleg is better than at least 35% of the whole MonsterArts line
Especially the price this thing cost like 70$
Despite it being a bootleg it's the only one that represents Showa King Ghidorah the best so far. But man, does this thing need a shiny gold paint job so badly.
Basically 3 Kevins
Middle Head: Ichi Left Head: Ni Right Head: San aka Kevin
@@what8827 No, the Left Head is San or Kevin, the Right head is Ni
lol he means all the heads look bad and autistic thats why there all Kevin's
Pretty underrated channel.
Yeah I’ll get him. He seems pretty sturdy for a ghidorah. I can give him some gold drybrushing
I honestly think it looks pretty cool with the 2019 color pattern but it'd also be cool to have it in the correct color scheme.
I’m definitely gonna get this figure, mostly because it’s only around £70 on eBay and the Heisei ghidorah is ridiculously priced now (and no, I don’t want legendary ghidorah, besides not liking it’s design, he’s doubled his price already)
Did you get the figure? I’m considering buying it but have never bought something from H.C. Toys on eBay.
I actually really like this guy, am getting him for xmas
Love it im getting it soon in december
It's been 1 year, and still no official Showa Ghidorah
I hope you’re right with this being a bootleg of “yet to be revealed” SH MonsterArts Ghidra (that’s what I call the Showa version for whatever reason) and that we get a reveal at NYCC.
Ghidra is one of the very few monsters I don’t have in my collection & I desperately want one.
Probably nothing at NYCC, but Tamashii Nation at the end of October.
After reading your review, I finally got my hands on a Bootleg Showa KingGhidrorah and posted a Stop Motion Video!
I can fix the paint, so im getting my boi
Same
how does it look now
Can you please do a repaint video? Getting him and never painted a figure, would really help out.
This looks great
If I ever do buy this, I'll probably repaint it as the original concept for showa ghidorah, an odd blue with rainbow wings.
I'm thinking about getting this figure.
I wish I was able to pick this up when it was still easy to obtain. Can’t find it anywhere now. Makes me wish that an official Showa King Ghidorah like this would get released since I missed out on this. Only reasonI didn’t get it is because I only got into Godzilla around the time this figure was seemingly on its way out. I do have the bootleg Heisei King Ghidorah. But I want to have a Showa Ghidorah as well, and there isn’t many options.
The problem of the wings falling off can be easily fixed by just gluing them to the joint. If I do consider getting this, I'll just straight-up spray paint it in metallic gold without any shading since I don't know how while avoiding the eyes and mouths.
@Peta Parka Super glue.
Water is wet.
That's not really a solution to freeze something on an action figure permanently.
I wonder if I can get a custom of this in the original blue rainbow wing Ghidorah color scheme, cause not gonna lie, that be awesome
Nice !
If it bootleg from 2014 and newer get it and just repaint it the detail usually is pretty good just needs paint job and for this bootleg you basically need like 2 colors
Now we need a bootleg showa gigan to go amazingly with this Ghidorah, I know we have the revoltech gigan but scaling wise isn't on par I believe
I love mine but I have some problems…
All the mouths had to be superglued open because they kept falling off
And one of the legs falls apart very easily
I won this on a bidding war on eBay for and king Ghidorah showa is my all time favorite fun
Steven GUESS WHAT!? there is a beautiful gold version of this available now on eBay!
There's been one used for promo pics .. never actually been released
I managed to safely get my 2019 Ghidorah to twist & turn his necks. I also managed to get his wings to stay in no problemo. I don’t know if I just happened to receive one of the better ones of the batch (though some of the tail joints are being a real pain in the ass & now his right leg) or if everyone was too “scared” to handle him in such a way. For the price point, I could see why they would be.
No, you didn't. If the joints pop out or were never inserted correctly to begin with, they're an absolute nightmare to get back in.
I got this guy and now 4 years on I'm really wondering why they haven't dropped an official release? Did it getting bootlegged kinda lead to them just dropping it?
When you pose king ghidorah you have to put the middle head up because that is the dominant head like the alpha
10:15 I need help finding the best sh monsterarts for my sh monsterarts godzilla 2019 king ghidorah is the heisei ghidorah showa ghidorah or legendary ghidorah
Wonder if one can still get these bootlegs since ive seen multiple sellers of this, but they all use the same images (which has some of the heads missing their jaws)
Steve doesnt this look like bandai's showa ghidorah gashapon (im looking at how the chest is sculpted and how the wings look)
also my figure's jaws like to fall off when moved
I've always been a fan of the Showa era King Ghidorah and seeing it in action figure form is incredible.
12:29 Avengers Assemble!
Hey Steven
I saw this item online myself and was disappointed in a way because I thought it was a bootleg (chances are it is) but I never seen a review of it
Personally looks really good!
The paint, yeah but I think I just might buy this guy, because why not?
Thanks for the vid😁👍
I would live to have it, its amaizing
I actually like the painting more than the golden one.
To be honest I would prefer this one figure over the MA one.
was thinking of selling my Special Color Ghidorah for this one. is it worth it tho? I got mine with loose left wing and tail, Im so scared of even displaying him
How did you get access to that if it never released?
What stand did you used for Rodan at 13:28 ?
This looks perfect I love the design even though it ain’t that accurate
Yea I like how he looks like old ghidora but new ghidora paint style(I would rather the other way around) but it's pretty good for a "bootleg"
Can you show us the repaint you did in a future vid?
Para ser un bootleg esta bastante bien echo en mi opinion
Does it have the one scale with a cut if not it’s baaad
I never knew this ever existed!!
I think I’ll wait. Who knows maybe SH will see this bootleg and think “we can do better”
Idk, big figure companies seem to actually ignore bootlegs, especially if their confident that there version would be better (even if they never make an official version)
I bought it. I will buy the real one if monsterarts brings it out but for now it's the only articulated shows ghidorah.
I don't know what you mean maybe that's a bigger topic but I just wanted to say but I'm only getting this to go with my show with Godzilla so I'm just going to repaint it so it looks I've already watched the video on the TV and the phone
Hello. Where can I buy this King Ghidorah figure?
I still like the design of the showa king ghidorah.
Where to get
I’m planning on painting the mane of mine, any specific paint suggestions I should use?
Why not use actual fibers for the mane? There are abundant photo references available to help get the density and length correct. Whatever color you paint the body, use a slightly darker shade for the area under the fibers, to give the mane more depth and illusion of body.
Yes, folks, spacedragon hair style advice.
I ordered this and love it but I'm having a problem. The jaw broke off when I slightly touched it and revealed that the ball joint on the top part of the mouth is actually just kinda glued there? Did this happen to anybody else and any suggestions on what I should do? Thanks!
I used to have a similar problem with the pre-polycap joints in mecha kits. One easy "solution" is to use white glue to hold the part in place; it's easy enough to remove and re-apply when you want to change a fixed display pose.
If you insist on mobility and durability, apply a thin layer of super glue to the ball. Do NOT apply too much because it will go places you do not want it (also hold the ball-side down to drain excess away from the detail area). Let it dry completely, test-fit, and if needed apply more. Sand lightly when the fit becomes too tight: you do not want a very tight fit because you'll damage the other side of the joint. This method is tedious but will result in a tighter ball joint that should not loosen quickly due to plastic wearing away through friction.
We can I buy it
Know how much I figure is and if it's like less than like 50 bucks or $50 can I know the website or like got it on eBay then I then just don't tell me anything
Chad ghidorah is now CANON. Just like Kinky Dorah
How did you get it
I have the neca legend creation godzilla v2
Hmmmm, maybe gonna wish him for chrismas cause he is cheaper, and imma probably repaint him
It's just that interesting
I want to know where to get this because it seems very good I just don't want to get scammed or pay more than $100
Where to buy
How much was this? If the price is reasonable I'll get it!
I clicked the link but it send me to a list of ghidorah figures. Do you have a link for just the figure itself?
Check the pinned comment.
@@StevensToyReviews I did, I ended up just typing in sh monsterarts ghidorah and it came up
I want that figure now❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
How much do it cost
Honestly not that out of scale considering he always canonical stated to be 100m even though he really is only slightly larger than godzilla
Who else got this instead of the 2019 they were originally getting on eBay
Could u possibly send a link or tell me where and how to obtain it because I would like to acquire this unique product.
its on aliexpress
How much is it?
This would be amaaaazing for younger colectors
Bryan Vilahomat especially for the price
@@tommypigskin2552 And its a bootleg! So if its damaged it wont be that bad because its not a super rare figure! As a younger colector myself, i might end up getting this guy instead of saving really hard for the king ghidorah sh monsterarts 2019!
no its not, not for younger collectors at all lmao
you have no idea how delicate this thing is
@@lambdadelta821 Who?
Where did you get it?
Is it also known as the modified version of king ghidorah 2019?
Yup
Godzilla vs Kong. Godzilla S.H. Monsters Arts
If they make the blue version with the red wings might be an auto buy.
I got a gold painted one on Wish for 69.00 Canadian.
Tbh this bootleg is good
Figure fight
Shma 2019 vs bootleg showa
How did u get him?
I found it for $30! Wow and it looks really good so I might actually buy it.
Where did you find it? I’d love it!
@@TheKUGuy eBay
@@godzillasstopmotions3661 I cant find it anywhere, do you have any link or information to its exact name on eBay or what it’s listed as?
Could u possibly send a link or tell me where and how to obtain it because I would like to acquire this unique product.
Is this the best bootleg?
You sound like Charlie Day when you said «Yeah it Kinda works».
The thing is. With this toy. I have it. I bought it off of eBay for about 157$... yea and it showed the 2019 ghidorah. Because the seller knew that if they showed the 2019 ghidorah people would buy it. I’m not happy but in not sad. Christmas is on they way though so yea.
Here's my thoughts on the origins: Bandai and Tamashi Retooled that model kit into a action figure. But a bootlegger stole the prodotype and ran a production run on it.
You can paint it too
I winded up getting this king ghidorah unintentionally I was aiming to get the legendary version though to my surprise I found this version in the the legendary king ghidorah box I'm curious does a mistake like that happen often?
Nah you probably bought one for like $80 thinking it was legit but it probably came from China. That's this figure.
You just got scammed. Ask for a refund.
@@thescorchingpteranodon7986 I would but the package lacked a return address
How tall buying it if it comes out in 2025
