I’m actually glad Hiya’s sticking to the same headsculpts because it discourages having to buy both releases just to get different expressions for him. This one is just the same as the other figure, only with the glove and metal tooth. Which seems fair, just pick whichever version you prefer.
Hiya toys: here’s King Kong! Want Beast glove or axe? No problem just pick the one you want! SHMA: beast glove build a Kong? $500+ for Shimo and Skar king pls I’m probably gonna get the regular version though since I don’t really care about the beast glove
I agree about the facial expressions. Maybe instead of the Stoic face they could have given us the smirk, or the smile he gave Godzilla when he got his axe back.
I don't know why I didn't think of it before, but it would have been neat to see Hiya include a GvK head sculpt with the base GxK Kong figure. Meaning a head without the beard, would have been an easy way to get people to double dip on both that and this figure as you could have had the new body sculpt of the base Kong to represent GvK as well. I'm looking forward to seeing if I can do just that with one of the heads I already have with my Hiya Kongs. Either way, another great looking figure from Hiya. I distinctly recall talking about seeing how Hiya would handle figures based off a brand new film, as this was the first time they'd demonstrate how accurate they could get with a film concurrently in theaters, and I'm still blown away by these. Now I just hope we get some updates on those Q3 2024 figures that have now slipped into Q4 and possibly beyond.
Yeah I think what hiya was probaby expecting was most people probably werent going to pick up both glove and unglove because they figured plenty of people already have a kong without glove. Wouldnt think its the best reason but could easily be the reason.
I gotta say that I’m quite surprised yet proud that Hiya Toys reveal their B.E.A.S.T Glove Kong which dropped recently. Although I have to wonder what else Hiya Toys wants to show off since Godzilla Day is coming in 2 days away, I am expecting Hiya Toys to unveil their classic Godzilla figures such as Mecha King Ghidorah and MechaGodzilla 1993 from the Heisei side, the upgraded Evolved Godzilla, and the Final Wars Godzilla and Godzilla 2002/KiryuGoji from the Millennium side as well.
So if you want axe you get first one if you want glove you get second one wish they merged up two releases to one instead considering theyre very similar
I’m honestly so damn impressed with this kong figure and finally his beast glove he is ready to fight and I can’t wait to get my hands on it even tho it’s gonna take forever…
I get the logic of the same heads... Financially, they don't have to tool a new one. For the consumer, now you can have your TWO favourite of the sculpts on display. But either way, I'm not sure I'll even get either one, since we all know who I'm ACTUALLY waiting for.
it looks good but all I did to my recent Kong version from s h monster arts figure I added a dark gray metallic paint to the tooth and on Etsy / ebay is selling detailed power glove for around $58.00 dollars. Because I wasn't going to get scar figure at the time The only thing is the accessory hands.. 🤔 nice set of hands.
They are by far the best articulated figure company in the game. Accuracy articulation and price its all there! I think the differentiating complaints are frankly nitpicking. We have two amazing songs clean standards and the gauntlet. What's to complain about. Me I'm getting both.

Good perspective
Accessory pack like neca>>>>>
i kinda agree maybe they will include the more distinct headsculpt if they make the final battle ver
Whenever SHMA uses the same head sculpt yall mfs go crazy calling them lazy, waste of money, and bash them for it. But when hiya does it, its smart

I love both of them, and honestly the one with the translucent axe really calls towards me. 😅
Since my gvk kong broke from a qc issue, im fine with getting the normal gxk kong to replace and beastglove to go against evo Godzilla

Man I love competition between companies. Lack of competition like Sony breeds lazy and anti-consumer practices. Thank God HIYA exist

This figure looks good but I'm going to stick with axe kong.
So if you want axe you get first one if you want glove you get second one wish they merged up two releases to one instead considering theyre very similar

Oh, sure Kong here should've had a smirking headsculpt and something extra. But it is what it is. Still getting both versions regardless.
You want different head sculpts, I hear you say? Proceeds to release Beast Glove final battle version with different heads. - Hiya, probably
Oh no
You want different head sculpts for our Kong, I hear you say? Pay us $425.
-SHMA
WHY WONT THEY SHOW THE NEW EVOLVED SCULPT PAINTEDDD
They are by far the best articulated figure company in the game. Accuracy articulation and price its all there! I think the differentiating complaints are frankly nitpicking. We have two amazing songs clean standards and the gauntlet. What's to complain about. Me I'm getting both.
They both look really good but I wish they made the beast glove Kong come with the battle axe
They probably did the same accessories so no one feels like they missed out just because they already have a gvk SH
first? yay :D
