Some guy tripped in a warehouse and all the figures fell

*sweat shop*
Broooooo😔
@@RadicalRaidenthey ain’t SHMA ok man
@Evolved-Godzilla-24 yes. I was joking
My guess with Kong is that they may have delayed releasing a Kong with beast glove because of the Skull Island Kong. It would be a bit odd to release 2 Kong's at the same time, could lead to some confusion. Also means many customers would have to pick between the 2, whereas if they space it out then those customers may buy both. The lack of Skar King may be again so that people aren't picking which GxK figures to get, but may have time to get all of them. No clue why the release dates are all over the place though.
I really hope they add Mechagodzilla soon and the male Muto. Skar King is one thing, but it still feels incomplete
I pre-ordered by shimo figure recently on BBTS and it says its estimated arrival is February 2025 😂
Bruh what a joke XD
Ever pre ordered a Hot Toys? This is completely normal. Its actually pretty early considering how long I've been waiting for my B2 Super Battle Droid.
same thing happed to me but for the 1995 Godzilla and it said April 2025
Why is everyone surprised that’s when the preorder is set…?
I think they saw a big giant scary spider in a warehouse and in a cargo ship so they ran away and threw the toys behind them.
They are probably having troubles with licensing because like you said a leak, someone leaked the Shimo figure on Reddit at the start of March
Agree
Yes agree
Hopefully we get some updates on this soon! What do you folks think is the deal? Think we will get a Kong with Beast Glove and Skar King?
I pre ordered the sh monsterarts 2024 Kong. And also pre ordered Shimo and Evolved Godzilla. Really wish he had the beast glove but it was almost out. I really need Skar king too. If the hiya Kong is better than sh monster arts than idk what I’m going to do.
@@Kratoast_god_of_hunger I still think the monsterarts Kong is better but neither have announced a beast glove Kong so hopefully we will see them announced soon!
@@CepiTheNomad there’s a lot of controversy over the sh monster arts Kong but it’s really not that bad my only complaint is the blue on the ax. It’s not as blue as Godzillas beam but that’s really it. Hiya Kong and Skar king probably will come out in the middle of 2025. I have to wait until January for Godzilla so I’m not complaining. Hiya is under alot of pressure so I don’t blame them and think they should take their time. More time = better figures.
@@Kratoast_god_of_hunger yeah I agree, I think hiya should slow their announcements a little but it’s still exciting seeing these figures announced. And regarding shma Kong, I get the controversy for sure but I think it’s alright. I will be doing an unboxing and review of it soon
@@CepiTheNomad very exciting. Glad I pre ordered Shimo and Godzilla before they ran out. It says Shimo will release in q4 2024. Will it come later than that since they have a lot on their plate? Or will I for sure get it in September or October? And I’m looking forward to the review!
Fr bro I hate how they are getting delayed but I just want the figures 💀
I agree, I don’t mind being patient but I would like an update! I thought I would have some of these on the way by now
I think they’ll be here by July just in time for my birthday lol ima preorder ssjr Godzilla and shimo😅
@@CepiTheNomad And why hasn't there been a GvK Mechagodzilla?
I’m guessing kong and skar king will come out in Q1 or Q2 of 2025
Simply because
A. Skar king is a new mold and his hands and whip are probably taking the longest for them (most likely the whip)
B. Kong needs a longer beard so they are figure that thing out for the articulation, and the beast glove is probably the hardest part for them, maybe because they wanna make it look good and still articulate? Or how they can give Kong separate hands that don’t look out of place?
But that’s my guess
That’s honestly really insightful. I didn’t consider that. I imagine the engineering for articulating the glove must be tough
I assume the reason we haven't gotten a look at Kong with B.E.A.S.T. Glove or Scar King is due to how they would make the glove and whipslash. Will they make parts of the glove move? If they do, what kind of joints would be used? If the whipslash is articulated, will it be a bendy wire or joints? Will Scar King be the same height or smaller than Kong? Im sure Hiya is taking their time making them.
On a side note, I have been waiting for Mothra from BBTS for a year now, and still no updates 😭
I hope the whipslash is on ball joints that would be great. And I’m sorry to hear that! I’m rooting for you buddy
@@CepiTheNomad That would really be cool! Especially since you could break it up and recreate the scene where Scar King loses the crystal. Thank you so much!
@@doodlemanz8679 you definitely have a toy photography mind! Do you do any?
@CepiTheNomad Yes! I wouldn't say I'm the best at it, but I try! I post them on my community tab and in video reviews. You do any yourself?
@@doodlemanz8679 nice I’ll check that out! I don’t to the extent of Figure Mania Show but I’m going to start incorporating more into my reviews!
On Amazon, and Entertainment Earth Re-Evolved Godzilla release date is in July while BigBadToyStore has it in June. 2014 Godzilla is gonna be released sometime in July-August
i still cant believe one hiya employee miss typed "pre-evolved" on EVERY SINGLE website 😭
@@switzerland_swiss yeah lol
Yeah that’s pretty strange lol and good info thanks!
@@CepiTheNomad no problem
my guess is that Warner Bros last minute changing of the release date after it had been scheduled to come out on April 12 for nearly a year, messed up Hiya's announcement schedule for the GxK figures and forced Hiya to shuffle around release dates and figure announcements for any of the figures related to that movie. That probably had a knock on effect with KSI Kong and GxK Kong since Kong is already not as big a seller as Godzilla when it comes to action figures so releasing two very similar figures at the same time would have cannabilized sales. So Hiya is probably waiting for KSI Kong to be out for a bit before announcing GxK Kong to encourage people to get both figures.
I've got a bit of a conspiracy, but I think kong in particular was pushed up because of the poor reception the GvK one had, they wanted to see how people liked the new mold before moving up to GxK Kong, and make any changes based on feedback before the announcement
I think it’s awesome that conspiracies around Hiya still show that they listen and care haha that could be it.
NECA didn't always hit release date marks when they had the Godzilla and Pacific Rim licenses and it was usually due to delays at the manufacturing level and the shipping of product out of China. The manufacture of tooling to make the figs, may also play a part in these delays. Hiya appear to be sticklers for film accuracy and quality control. Add to that Toho and Legendary have to approve the final product before it ships...All of those factors take time. Consider that there's a world of difference between displaying prototypes or partial sculpts in promo pics and the engineered final product arriving at Diamond Previews (who are Hiya's exclusive North America's distributor) and from there, to online sellers and into comic book stores. We need to be patient, trust me on this. I live in Canada and there's at least a two to three week delay after Hiya's figures show up stateside and when they show up here.
Finally someone is talking bout why my MUTO and Godzilla 2021 ain’t comin in yet
Hoping to get an update on it soon. Do you have them both pre ordered?
@@CepiTheNomadif you buy them in hiya toys website do they charger you automatically????
Rip, Muto is now arriving 2nd quarter, hopefully it doesn't get pushed again this time to 3rd quarter
Look I ordered the pre evolved Godzilla and the manager of kowkis told me they will ship it this week I’m not sure if that’s true
I am going to cry from hiya toys WHERE THE HELL IS THE FEMALE MUTO AND PRE EVOLVED GODZILLA they released kong 2017 in china and kowkis are selling it btw but jeez
I literally live in china and I found 4 sh monsters art this year and I haven't found a single hiya toys
Hey 1k congrats man👍
Tamashii “bad quality control and breaking your wallet” son or hiya “release figures every time the earth orbits the sun” daughter?
Bruh I’ve been wondering the same thing! I’ve literally been waiting for a 6 inch Female Muto ever since G-2014 came out, missed that one Bandai figure, found out that Hiya was making one about 6 months after it was just announced, been looking at on their website for another month and she *still* isn’t even available for Pre-Order on Amazon!
I desperately need Hiya to be more active when it comes to the updates of the releases of these figures.
I need my Gravity Beam version King Ghidorah, but Im fine to wait a bit
I really want the pre evolved Godzilla I have been waiting but it’s already April
BRO IT CAME OUT AND I ALREADY BOUGHT THE KONG 2017 IM SO FREAKING MAD RN
The most likely scenario in my mind is an issue with manufacturing. Widespread QC issues, schedule mix-ups, delays on the injection molds being finalized, something along those lines.
I thought the same thing I was really excited for pre evolved to release last month then it never did 😭, I pre ordered so I’m not too worried but still
😭
?
Mine that ordered from amazon have 2 dates.
G vs k godzilla figure will arrive april 25tg
Evolved godzilla release’s January 1st
Update: My Godzilla Re-Evolved has shipped today, nothing on the Muto though.
Nice! Can't wait for that muto though lol
@@CepiTheNomad Same, it's my most anticipated figure.
@@CepiTheNomadHello there, I happened to order the Exquisite Base Re-Evolved Godzilla from Hiya Toys website and still waiting for it to be ship and deliver as fast as it could. But when I looked back at the site, it’s already set up for preordering until its release on June 2024. The one I ordered is scheduled for March for this year.
My guess is that they wanted to see how the movie would do before it came out, so now there making the figures?
I’m confused that there’s such a delay in getting toys out for Godzilla X Kong given that the movie is basically one big toy commercial
Maybe that made releases tough lol although playmates got all their figures out
Hopefully, 2014 will be back up for pre-order bc I was gonna do that today
Well first off they are a pretty small company that is trying to catch up with their exponential growth in demand. So thats why they only announced shimo and evolved godzilla. (And they picked those two because godzilla merchandise sells leaps and bounds better than kongs)
But they also want figures that can capitalize off the fresh hype of the movie, and those two new figures will take too long to release (Q4 2024).
So the easiest solution is to rerelease a godzilla (rre-evovled). And I personally think tehy pushed up kongs (2017) release so he could capitalize off of the GxK hype and satisfy some of that desire for kong without making a whole new sculpt.
It is also my theory that because of them pushing kong up, the muto got pushed back.
I was also wondering what the deal was with the muto I’ve had it in preorder sense feb but honestly I have no idea why there late
On BBTS the Rre-Evolved isn’t coming out till June 😅
I just hope for Skar king tbh
Yesss
It’s gotta be licensing I think the Walmart toys also had some issues with licensing. That’s why you see a lot of movie toys be released at weird times cuz of the licensing
I don't claim to know anything legit, but knowing what I know about HIYA TOYS and the toy business in general I can say that it's not a licensing issue if they're still making and selling other characters from the same film. My guess would be what another commenter here has already said - IT would be too close to the SKULL ISLAND Kong's release, but more importantly, I think that at $50 a pop, they're trying to stagger their releases and factory work load as to not over-extend fans' wallets. But even if THAT isn't a concern then it's the fact that they're waiting closer to the film's release to have very closer to final or actual FINAL designs to make products from unlike a lot of other domestic figures that start earlier since it take a full year to produce figures from start to finish.
They’re just on a delay in terms of receiving a lot of hiyas products, Ik that my skullcrawler took forever and when I contacted them and ask what was going on I was told they were having delays receiving things from customs
I got my Pre-Evolved Godzilla off of Amazon and he just got shipped today
@Zackgojiraking24 worst case scenario I get a bootleg and return it for my money back, best case scenario I randomly got the figure early, I’ll update whenever I get it in hand
@Zackgojiraking24 check my community tab 👀
My muto says it shipped it even has a tracking number
My ghidorah and skull crawler just arrived today and yesterday 💀
I hope the male MUTO and Mecha GODZILLA will also be released
Yeah its strange, Hiya have announced a lot of figures but there no where to be seen. Amazon has them all on very long pre order dates of 2025 ect.
I wonder if they’re just slowing down announcements because of that
Yooooo Pre/Rre - Evolved just came out :)
Nice! Hopefully mine ships soon, are you getting it?
Basically, HIYA became SEEYA.
I’m mostly just waiting for the Mechagodzilla 2021 announcement.
I’ve got a Skull Devil on the way, and hoping the MUTO ships out sooner rather than later.
Im not quite sure when shimo is coming out I pre ordered it on another website and it says 2024 feb but on hiya is says 2024Q4 I have no clue whats going on
Some websites like BBTS have to wait for the US release which is usually months after it releases in China. However there are some sites that will ship here from China so you can order from those.
Gotta be a licensing issue if I had to guess. It sucks bt we just gotta wait. Lack of communication is weird too. Seems they would at least hint or address the issue on social medias
Yeah delays happen, but I’m wondering if they just can’t say why at the moment. What figure do you want to see next?
@@CepiTheNomad I'm really wanting kong w silver tooth and swap out beat glove arm w the new articulation from the skull island figure
@@jam_2315 that’s a good idea, I didn’t think about the silver tooth, put it on a ball joint haha
On bigbadtoystore the pre-evolved godzilla is scheduled for june 2024
Hiya Toys is short on staff and Bigbadtoystore ALWAYS delays the release of their figures. I remember an SHMA at Bigbadtoystore released like a year after it originally was supposed to
There probably trying to make a lot of them so that they don’t sell out so fast, because when they started they didn’t make a lot, probably why they were so cheap and gone within a werk
Just wondering is it possible to order hiya godzilla toys from norway??? Can someone pls tell me😅
Bro I’ve ordered march Godzilla but it won’t let me track the damn thing😔, I’m pretty sure I got a email that it’s getting packed and almost on its way
Hiya doesnt tend to showcase or talk about their products they just show it when its finally ready for pre orders with this said ı think those other figures are in development and will be made perfectly rather than previous 2 evolved godzilla and shimo has differences from movie versions due to getting license early ı assume ı also thınk scar king and kong figure gonna have many accesories even mini articulated figures like doug or suko and its hard to make a figure articulated that is small
another issue ı can think is that they had license for godzilla so evolved godzilla wasnt a issue but maybe theyre lacking license of skar king doug and suko theres a possibility they werent able to afford it
That’s very true. Licensing can be complicated. That’s probably it. Hopefully they update the delays
@@CepiTheNomad ı also have a question for you about a figure did you saw nanmus sneak peaks for their upcoming v rex figure? if yes how does it look in your opinion?
I’m also curious what’s going on. Also I’m new to collecting hiya Godzilla toys where do y’all get ones that are sold out online is eBay the only place (I really want burning Godzilla, skull island Kong , the skull devil, and rodan.)
I know a lot of places are sold out but I will keep an eye out on other stores for you and let you know if I find any. The good thing is they’re often doing repaints. I think you can still get skull island Kong at kowkis toys
Fr they've gone kinda quiet
But right now I just want my Ghidorah, he's still not out here in Europe ;(
Oh dang, does kowkis ship to Europe? Or it might be sold out there. I will look around
@@CepiTheNomad oh, I'm sorry if it sounded vague, I didn't mean them specifically:D there are very few shops here that get them, only one in my country that I'm aware of and there's no word of it yet
@@MichalArchangelo oh okay I see, well good luck! I hope you can get it soon
working on it.
I'm just seeing this comment now only after I already saw and shared your video haha great work man
I WANT MY GODZILLA EVOLVED. but i do hope that godzilla evolved in like i dont know in october
Really like this vid I found a hiya skull crawler at fye today and I assume the problem is licensing.
Thanks! That’s a good find. I still want one
@@CepiTheNomad ua-cam.com/video/2lvpYvX_scA/v-deo.htmlsi=SWBTxBm5w9BxIjfp also this guy responded to your video
Honestly after the rise of the beast situation
I rather get these delayed so their aren’t based on concept art
The thing I want most from hiya is the female muto
Wish they’d make a Scylla figure and Tiamat
im saving for evolved godzilla
They probably haven’t made the Kong or announced it or anything because they’re not even done with the 2021 mold and usually when they finish one version of a kaiju, they do the next version like what they did with the 2019 and 2021 Godzilla and they finished the 2017 Kong so they probably were working on the Kong 2021 VER I think the 2021 Kong got pushed back or something but my guess is when they’re done with the 2021 Kong and they released it they will make the beast glove or they will stop working on the 2021 version and then they will release the beast glove and then release 2021 version
I'm hoping for Doug
It’s annoying cause I would pre-order but im not pre ordering anything that can’t tell me when im actually getting it.
I hope they release Kong with BEAST glove and Skar King soon! Really want those figures
Same criptid. Same. While I don’t absolutely love the glove in the film, it’ll make for a sweet figure haha
I’ve never had a Hiya figure bc of how fast they go out of stock and also the delays
Hopefully you can get your hands on some.
Well, I had Hiya Ghidorah on preorder from BBTS for a while, last month got sick of waiting and ordered him off kowkis and he should be here very soon he finally arrived in the states not too long ago. But BBTS literally just got that mf in stock, I'd def say it's them wanting to take their time on these newer figures like Skar and Kong is why we haven't seen them yet. Hopefully they won't get leaked before an official reveal.
Hey enjoy your Ghidorah! It’s awesome. I’m gonna do a review soon.
I don’t mind waiting for skar and glove Kong. I’m sure hiya will do it right.
Okay so from what I understand, HIYA is waiting on Kong specifically because they don't have the 3d renders yet unlike Godzilla. Call it lazy, call it accurate, but Godzilla 2019-2021 and the first half of GvK all use the same model, which is good because it shows consistency within the continuity AND it lets companies like HIYA and Tamashii release the same mold over and over and still have it be accurate. Despite HIYA having the 3D renders for most of the titans, it looks like they still don't have them for Kong yet, as both the Gvk and K:SI Kong's arent 1/1 screen accurate. Now I have no clue why they would not have those files yet as it looks like they do for Shimo, and MAYBE Godzilla Evolved (That one doesn't look 100% 1/1 and there were rumours of it being an original sculpt much like what Tamashii does from time to time) but since this has been a thing since 2021 I assume its a "King Kong vs Kong" merchandise and likeness issue. Legendary may be prohibited from sharing those files. Thats just my logical theory however, I could be totally off.
Why do basically all the hiya toys have none in stock it’s really annoying and I can’t buy the figures as a new collector. eg, I wanted to get into collecting MV figures so I watched videos and found out the skull Devil was a figure, and I wanted it bad but for the past like 2 months that I’ve checked on it to see if any are in stock it’s still got none, also I wanted a actual Godzilla and yet all of them except the evolved version are out of stock and it comes out in oct-dec can anyone elaborate why this is?
Weirdly enough, I checked it, it says Q1 2024 on mine for the Femuto
Also dang whats taking so long for them to literally rerelease a repaint
Me who lives in europe and will probaly never be able to get hiya figures: 😐
Do they not ship there? On their website I think it says they ship globally just not to Japan
@@CepiTheNomad oh I didnt know that
They’d make bank if they done The titans that were in KoTM. With literally 0 figures of em and since a lot became Fan favourites from their little screen time. Like Behemoth, Scylla and Methuselah.
You’re right. And I want a behemoth figure
They should definitely have the license as I’m pretty sure you even see a hiya translucent Godzilla in one of the scenes of GxK. Is I have no clue what’s going on
I didn’t notice that haha I did see the playmates kong though
Yeah it was in the scene after that. Pretty cool how they decided to add figures that we buy into the film, makes it seem like it’s a real thing
@@Bonantxd Yeah that did not take me out of the film becuase if Kong and Godzilla were real, there would definitely be figures of them just like we see figures of dinosaurs
Well I wish hiya muto will have another pre order cuz i missed it 😢
Dang, I’m sure there will be more opportunities or at least repaints
Im so glad I ordered it before
Is the femuto sold out on the hiya page? Because it’s at the bottom where all the other sold outs are.
I can check later but unless it says sold out on the image it should be available still. No promises though seeing as there don’t seem to be any updates as of yet
@@CepiTheNomad I really hope it’s still available. I really want this beauty of a figure because mutos don’t get much love figure wise.
@@PowderFairyx I agree and there are so many types of MUTOs so hopefully we get even more variants
Why are they not restocking Godzilla heat ray, translucent, 2019 and 2021?
They typically don't restock their figures.
I’ve been waiting for a proper MUTO figure ever since 2014. I am scratching my neck in agony waiting for my fix
What Godzilla figure do you reckon I should get, the Evolved or the Rre-Evolved? I’m personally really stuck on what would be the better option as i’m very fond of both designs
I know this is a cop-out answer but it depends, if you want a solid, more typical, and possibly definitive version of Godzilla, probably Rre-Evolved. But if you are looking for something more rare and unique, can't go wrong with this interesting new design! Just have to wait longer
@@CepiTheNomad actually helps out quite abit, wanted to start a hiya monsterverse collection type of thing but didn’t know what Godzilla would look the best, but you saying the Rre-Evolved is a much more definitive look, seems like the best idea
@@spdy.blu3 can’t go wrong with that!
@@CepiTheNomad appreciate the help Cepi, keep up the good content
Can I order hiya godzilla action figures from norway? Can someone pls tell me it would help alot 😅
i have the same questions lol
Probably some final minutes error that they have to delay to fix
Hopefully nothing to bonkers behind the scenes.
yeahh!! what's goin on with tha- what's goin on?!
EXACTLY
Im not worried about that im stressed about shipping
I wanna say it’s licensing cause it’s not like Hiya didn’t listen to fans before, why stop now?
Yeah hiya is definitely great when it comes to listening to fans, so I don’t think they’re holding out. Must be something complicated behind the scenes
Don't forget to like and ring the Bell
I pre order my evolved Godzilla and it arrives January,5,2025. Like I’m what!
Godzilla Evolved release date is November 2024
And Godzilla Reevolved June 2024
They’re cooking
ali express is decent for picking these up ngl (they are legit)
Yeah I bought a few figure effects from there
@@CepiTheNomad they are really good for figures just gotta double check each one
The toys got so good they actually came to life and are now on the way to nasa to go start a colony on the moon, safe and away from humanity
Ya know what, I thought that might be it. You’re probably right
Damn. Slept on MUTO. Sold out already 😑 Oh well. Hopefully I'll get another opportunity
I hope so! Maybe they’ll do the male Muto or another female repaint
Heck maybe they will make the queen muto or muto prime
@@CorboTheIndospinus2024 that would be wild. I love those designs
You guys should subscribe
What the HELL is taking my MUTO so damn long
I just pre-ordered the Godzilla evolved from Hiya hopefully mine doesn’t get delayed or anybody else’s. I never would wish upon that on anybody even my worst enemies.
