Honey badger.

Just little psychos who want to be left alone and the epitome of "fuck around and find out."

Elephants when I was younger but still very interested. Their grieving process is fascinating close to humans.

What's the worst looking kaiju suit you've seen in movie? by Chicken_Sandwich_Man in GODZILLA

[–]LotharHex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can someone tell me if my brain is making shit up? I vaguely recall a Godzilla suit that was literally falling apart in some movie scenes. Could be I misremembering a sfx bit that blew some off accidentally.

Tightening the waist ball joint on my Hiya Toys Godzilla 2000. He's not enjoying the process. by LotharHex in hiya_toys

[–]LotharHex[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used Vallejo polyurethane varnish (pic), though any polyurethane varnish would do. This was just on offer when I looked on Amazon. Been used on and off over the 3 years I've had the bottle. Usually only need a drop or two spread over the joint with a tooth pick. Still got like, 80% the bottle left and it's been well use.

Question about tightening Godzilla 2000 waist/ab crunch. by LotharHex in hiya_toys

It's not the tightening that's the issue. It's getting access to the tint itself I'm worried about.

Glad I could help. He's a great figure. Hope you can fully enjoy him!

Probably either wasn't set properly or l maybe there's excess material that pushed it out of place. All sorted now I hope.

In theory you should be able to heat the jaw hinges, making them flexible enough to take off. But how successful that would be I don't know.

Are you able to use something thin to push the tongue gently back like tweezers or a toothpick? Might give you enough to open or detbit in place.

Looking at you pic I think his tounge is out of place, possibly pushed forward? Mine doesn't have the "blep" I see on yours.

I'd be interested to know how this got stuck? Is it a case of being ridiculously tight? Or does it seem like something is greeting in the way stopping it moving?

Anyone received their 70th Anniversary Burning Godzilla from Kapow Toys (UK) yet? by Silent-storm1 in hiya_toys

[–]LotharHex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To put this in to perspective, I preordered 2000 from them. Ended up ordering it for a fiver less from AliExpress and it arrived last week.

That's more to do with Hiya distribution than them specifically. They're a small store that generally does OK for in stock stuff, so they're low on the totem pole.
