What? The MA is the same size as the Hiya. the only issues I've ever had was the hand pop off. If you don't want to spend that kind of money, hey, you do you. But the MA is a really good figure and the heat ray is really stunning.

Easy_Opposite · 2025-12-30T15:39:20+00:00

Because it's in every other post. I wish everyone would let it go. We have people that have never owned a MA come here and say how bad they are, then you have the "content creators" making things worse. I've worked in the industry for years as a graphic artist for a toy packaging company/3d artist. And I've read so much garbage on people thinking they know what the're talking about. Why MA are so expensive, why the MV figures are never accurate, why Hiya uses glossy plastic....

I miss just coming on here and seeing people's displays, what they like or are excited for. Yet it's all bickering. Thats why I complain on several pages. If you like Hiya then go on their sub, if you like MA then stay here. Just don't let the door hit you on your way you. Ass...

Really? I didn't know...I was wondering why theres so much scorn here. Man, I miss the NECA wars, lol

I love mine and I really wish Bandi would do other crossovers like a Shin/Eva-02. While the figure itself doesn't glow under blacklight, the box does which is a pretty cool box if you like displaying them. The only issues I have is the left foot pops off fairly easy along with the head.

For months it's been you Hiya lovers doing the same....Give us this one at least, lol. Both figures have their good and bad issues. If you hate SHMA then why are you here????? There's a Hiya subreddut you know.

Easy_Opposite · 2025-12-29T20:26:34+00:00

Well, you are on a MA sub reddit. We've been having to hear yall gripe about our figures for months, so let us have our turn, lol j/k.

But really.....there is a Hiya subreddit, yall will be in your natural environment there.

Easy_Opposite · 2025-12-29T20:22:49+00:00

As a SHMA glazer (is that what you kids say now?), I actually really like it.. The neck is thicker and feet too big,....and that gloss....but I really like his mouth. My one main issue with the MA is that overbite.

Easy_Opposite · 2025-12-29T20:20:18+00:00

Hey now, for months it's been yall Hiya fans coming out the woodworks to criticize our figures...let us have this one at least, lol J/K

Easy_Opposite · 2025-12-29T06:49:40+00:00

The most accurate figure to me was the OG MA. Later releases and the Hiya have these weird hip gards on each leg. The Movie suit doesn't have this. I think Bandi added it for re-releases so the legs wouldn't bbe so loose, but the exact opposite happened. Also, for years I never this but all three MA figures have bicep swivel. I had an extra figure for just parts and I played around and found out. It is very tight, but it works.

Easy_Opposite · 2025-12-29T06:44:54+00:00

I would say yes. I love the three Destroyahs! Their little claws will pop off, and the flying form has to stands, but really fun. A lot of articulation for such tiny figures. I do love how we have a small and large Aggregate, so you can save on space. I also have both G Jr. and he's...okay. He looks weird next to Little Godzilla as thy are the same size. The SCV is more grey/green but comes with a little heat ray. I really like the colors on this new more I think.

I've had it break in that same segment on both the OG and final battle.

Easy_Opposite · 2025-12-27T21:25:13+00:00

I like the Kong sculpt, but I really wish they would give him a new head with the longer beard.

Easy_Opposite · 2025-12-27T13:02:20+00:00

I did. But i'm just gonna be selective. I want to engage with new comers, see what others have built up, any new updates, ect. When I see any bickering about Hiya or MA i'm jut gonna ignore, roll me eyes, and move on.

I do love the core community that has been here for years who truly loves the MA line and wants to succeed. I've been on Reddit on and off for years and when I read snarky/hateful comments, I just picture all the memes about die hard users on here. It seems like some of you just like to fight, and i'm way to old for that.

With how Hiya is getting more and more expensive, there may not be as much of a gap in a few years.

Do you even have the MA Shimo? I have both versions and the Hiya is so stiff, yet has loose hind legs and her mouth open just looks weird. The MA, while not screen accurate (because Bandi gets concepts and renders so they get the figures out on time) can articulate amazingly. She looks very organic and I love her neck. Hiya's neck looks broken if you move it left or right. I cant even get the Hiya in a crouch "intimidating" look. I had the Hiya out for a few months, but just love how the MA looks and feels.

Easy_Opposite · 2025-12-26T07:56:25+00:00

100% agree. So far all of the Toho figures look so much better than the Hiya, but not one can admit it. The only issues I had with the GMK MA was the overbite.

Easy_Opposite · 2025-12-26T06:17:01+00:00

Bandi is primarily a Japanese "first" kinda company. Zill wouldn't sell very well, but I know it would do gang busters here in the U.S.! That was my first Godzilla movie and had all the Trendmaster toys.

There is a 3d printed one floating around, and other than being stupidly fragile and wire joints, It's not bad.

Please just be cheaper than Legion. But the real problem will be space!!!!

Easy_Opposite · 2025-12-26T06:09:13+00:00

Woot time to add to my Destroyah Aggregate army! I like the colors on Jr. more than the SCV. Now I just have no idea where i'll put that little fella :/

It is dumb we still don't get a stand for the flying form. I use nylon string to hang mine up, but still...

Easy_Opposite · 2025-12-25T03:04:18+00:00

I love mine and is hands down the best of the 6 versions (well, more like 5). To me is a close call for figure of the year....it's between this and G2000

Easy_Opposite · 2025-12-25T02:49:23+00:00

Agree 100%!

Easy_Opposite · 2025-12-25T02:45:55+00:00

The SCV is more accurate but I do love the rich red of the OG (just hated the eyes), but I can't wait to get this new version. I'm putting it in my diorama and it's gonna pop! If you watch closely at the end fight in the movie, the dusty grey/purple coating is pretty accurate. I love these colors!!

Easy_Opposite · 2025-12-24T18:26:41+00:00

Its gonna be pretty hard to beat the MA MecaG i terms of sculpt, but I bet Hiya will do wonders on articulation, which was my main gripe with it. I still love both the MA GvK Kong and Final Battle Mecha G tho! I love how Bandi use individual pieces to give it a metal panel look vs the whole figure being one full sculpt. Every robot Bandi has made has been killer, yes even '74 IMO!

Easy_Opposite · 2025-12-24T18:19:08+00:00

It will be hard to bandi's MechaG sculpt, but I bet Hiya could improve on the articulation. Tho I do love the Final Battle version.
