@KaijuzillaB I already did and it was one of the best experience as a godzilla fan!!

@MG_mad_as_hell Would you like to meet Godzilla in person?

Before-after of my repaint for the Ichiban Kuji Prize A Godzilla 1995🔥🔥🔥 ​The 'Kuji' line doesn't get much attention in the West, but the quality is getting better lately. They are cheap, and the sculpts are great because they just copy the X-Plus 30cm line molds. I think they are a good alternative to the X-Plus Daikaiju line now. But the cheap paint jobs are always disappointing. This 1995 figure was an early Kuji release, so it was especially disappointing. ​However, it is special to me because it was my first Godzilla figure, received as a gift. I decided to repaint it after seeing the 30cm paint work by @nanakoubouxhiro. ​Since it is not a highly detailed statue, I used a simple painting style rather than rough or flashy patterns. I regret not having a good 'before' picture. ​I did some dry brushing, applied a matte varnish, and completely repainted the burning parts from scratch. I also touched up the eyes. Now it's a burning godzilla All the work was done with just $2 paint (13 colors) and a brush.

@KaijuzillaB Not really. Honestly, I can't read Japanese so I can't even try it lmao

@MG_mad_as_hell Are you looking forward to it? x.com/godzilla_tcg/s…

@bigboiphobos Does Ichibansho not handle a wide variety of lineups? Kuji figures are really great, but if Ichibansho is more expensive than buying from Japan due to shipping costs, they definitely lose their appeal as an X-Plus alternative. In Asia, the price is a huge advantage.

@MG_mad_as_hell I wish it was easier to collect Ichiban Kuji figures here in the US. They are some of my favorite figures to collect, but importing them can be quite expensive. The Ichibansho line also seems to cost a bit more compared to buying them second-hand in Japan.

@ArmorKingTV21 I used $2 acrylic paint and applied it directly without any base coat. The adhesion is strong, but the coverage is weak. So I repeated the painting and drying process multiple times to control the transparency. After finishing the paint job, I coated it with a gloss varnish

@MG_mad_as_hell what's the process? How'd you go about it?

I’ve been testing out some background and lighting setups. I like the method that cuts down on the highlights the most. It’s definitely gives off the most realistic, in-hand look! Hiya toys 1991, 1999 SHMA 200

@ArmorKingTV21 Thx alot bro! It's still my favorite work my own self🔥

@MG_mad_as_hell love your Burning Millennium Godzilla custom. Honestly so cool to see.

Hiya toys Godzilla 1999 heat ray ver Burning form repainted Shot under light

2025 was the year of MireGoji🔥🔥🔥 Godzilla 1999, aka MireGoji, is special to me. It's my favorite design and my very first Toho movie. But the action figure market ignored this design for a long time. Even with its unique design, both SHMA and Neca skipped it. ​Then in 2025, finally, SHMA and Hiya Toys announced their figures. Also, MireGoji returned in the Fest Godzilla film, Shinjuku Burning, and even got a Burning form!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 It was a massive gift for all those waiting years! ​When Hiya Toys revealed their heat ray version, I immediately planned to repaint it into a Burning form. I wanted to make strong highlight patterns like the SHMA 70th 1995. ​The result is satisfying. The highlights look a bit weak in the photos because I turned down the lights on purpose, but it's fine(I will drop some pics under the lights in the replies). ​I usually fiddle with my figures sometimes, but since I finished this custom, I barely touch the others. ​In the upcoming Fest short film, Burning MireGoji will return to fight Monster X. I want to see that in person, so I'm planning a trip to Japan. Along with the release of Minus Zero, November 3rd, 2026 is going to be an incredible day🎂🎂🎂

@KaijuzillaB To be honest, that is better movie than Yonggari 💪💪💪

@MG_mad_as_hell Have you also seen north Korea’s Pulgasari?

Godzilla vs Biollante (1989) Behind-the-scenes clip🌹🌹🌹 These kind of tokusatsu movie clips are always a blast to watch. Unlike CGI where everything is just buried in blue and green screens, I love that weird gap of seeing the actual movie suit just being with regular people. ​My favorite part of this video is around 1:00, where the crew is laughing and just geeking out over it. Watching them work with so much passion and having that much fun is so cool!!!

@KaijuBbc1954 It’s a blackout curtain. I like it because it doesn't reflect too much light!

@MG_mad_as_hell What are you using for your backdrop, just a towel? Pretty genius NGL, makes em all pop

@NyongGong @GhidorahStan Still very weird. So what is it exactly??

@GhidorahStan I was expecting like this for the SDCC version, but I was disappointed that it wasn't much different from the previously released Heat Ray Ver.

I didn't know they would release this before SHM

@KaijuzillaB Yonggary is my hero❤️

@MG_mad_as_hell Do you remember South Korea did the same for Yongary?

@Repodreptiles @Kaiju_Canuck Even without the 'Damaged Version' name, that scene definitely inspired it. Probably, lmao.

@MG_mad_as_hell I'm still not convinced this is a pressure damage variant We seriously need @Kaiju_Canuck to talk with Bryan Flynn again to confirm! x.com/Repodreptiles/…

You were right Kaijucanuck!!! It was damaged version!! Super7 Ultimate series Godzilla 2023 was alwas so cool, but this looks above it🧊🧊🧊 Here is the video that KC prophesied youtu.be/RedFQsyE0e4?si…

@StevenToyReview The Aura🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

@MG_mad_as_hell This is not a pressurized battle damage to figure. It's just their interpretation of Godzilla minus one fully charged up and ready to go.

@HowmanyWhy36227 Oh, I see! 1999's neck design was worse than 1991. May be it could be the reason. How sad...😔😔😔

@MG_mad_as_hell 不不不 Hiya用钱请来Edenbuster雕刻了1991的原型 而动作关节设计是另一位曾在Hiya就职的设计师制作的 听说Hiya自己的设计师一直在更换 有的人因为IP题材而吸引去 也有的人因为生活需要而离开

Action figures just give us more to talk about than statues, and that's all thanks to articulation. It’s always fun looking into the engineering side along with the sculpt. ​Hiya Toys' Godzilla 1991 is a great example. The limbs fold perfectly, and the tail poses into a beautiful, organic curve. But for me, the real highlight is the neck. The way it turns and bends backwards—just check out the photo—without messing up the proportions from any angle is just insane. It really shows how clever the engineering is. And the sculpt? Of course, it's great. ​In my country, this guy is seriously underrated. Some people even call it 'Hiya's disgrace.' But honestly? I think it’s a masterpiece from Hiya Toys. ​It easily gets an A+. The only minor gripe is that the texture looks a bit plain for a smaller-scale figure.

@HowmanyWhy36227 Edenbuster right? He is one of the best creature sculptor nowadays. Hiya misses a huge chance. As I know, there was more problems than salary. Anyway I hope they both have better chances!

@MG_mad_as_hell 据我所知 切分1991北海道哥斯拉动作关节的设计师后来制作了 Monster X 不过他现在可能已经不在Hiya了 Hiya公司的位于中国的发达城市 但他们规模不大 工资相比来说太低了

A great 1 on 1 comparison pics for Hiya toys 1991 Godzilla!! 🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖

@GhidorahStan Damn awesome pics🔥🔥🔥 I should download it!! We can see here too, the texture is not bad at all. It's just deep as much as real suit. But I still want some deeper texture for 7" high toys😌

@MG_mad_as_hell not completely identical due to the joint cuts, but it's quite accurate
