nope... not a stretch at all.. I'm talking about likeness or accuracy here not quality. Quality wise yeah Hot Toys wins, but accuracy? Neca with Kyle Windrix wins hands down. I even remember there's a thread here about what HT needs to do to improve their predator line, and almost all agree they...

Those Kaiyodos really impossible for me to get.. I'll just stick to my SHMA then.. managed to knock down the gloss a bit

that's no excuse... they have the aliens and predators line that have better accuracy and likenesses than HotToys'.

sculpt-wise Kaiyodo (obviously) and SHMA hands down, made by the same person in the same studio and according to the Shinji Higuchi and Yauchi (director and producer of the movie) almost in the same time with the maquette, they even say the SHMA is the "brother" of the maquette. It's just too...

they said its 6 inches tall and 12 inches long from head to tail.. yep, too short...

That NECA... *sigh*... I'm not expecting them to achieve the sculpt level of SHMA's shin but c'mon... after their good '54 and ok 2001, this is disappointing. It looks like a shin godzilla made of balloons with all those soft and round details, not too mention those terrible articulation cuts...

I don't mean shin in the movie actually mutated from a shark, but about the concept design on him... observing the design of Kaiju A, it resembles a frilled shark, especially the head and tail. Google "frilled shark".

So shin goji is no longer a mutated lizard/dino but a mutated frilled shark...

I'm sorry I don't speak/read Japanese either... I only manage Takeya's facebook fanpage and this popped out, so I figure to put it here. All I know is it's produced by Kaiyodo and sculpted by Takeya himself based on the maquette he build for the movie. Obviously the numbers and the graphics...
