      After introducing the standard version last month, Hiya Toys has launched the ‘Evolved’ edition of its Exquisite Basic Series Heat Ray Godzilla, inspired by the King of the Monsters' appearance in the 2024 MonsterVerse film Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. This 7-inch figure is currently available for pre-order at a price of $54.00; find more details here…

      Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire debuted in 2024, featuring a massive showdown between Kong and Godzilla against an unidentified threat hidden within our world, while delving deeper into the Titans' origins. Driven by an unwavering commitment to quality, every aspect has been refined to enhance both playability and the display experience. This new Heat Ray Godzilla Evolved Ver. action figure includes numerous upgrades, such as improved proportions and an optimized silhouette, ensuring better compatibility with other figures from the same series.

      Among the key enhancements is the adjustment of body proportions, creating a more balanced and commanding silhouette. The neck joint has been improved to a double-joint design, allowing for a greater range of motion and more expressive head poses. The dorsal fins have been thickened and redesigned with sharper, more detailed textures, adding to the overall realism. Furthermore, the tail has been upgraded with a multi-joint structure, enabling smoother, more natural movements that replicate the dynamic flow of Godzilla’s iconic actions.

      When lit from behind, the layered paint applications on the translucent body can simulate the glowing pink energy state found in Godzilla’s dorsal fins. Additionally, the figure includes one interchangeable head, two hand parts, and a special pink Heat Ray effect to perfectly recreate Godzilla’s unforgettable battle scene from the movie.

      This newest installment in the Monsterverse franchise builds on the dramatic clash of Godzilla vs. Kong with a brand-new cinematic experience, setting Kong and Godzilla against a colossal, undiscovered menace that threatens their existence—and ours. The epic film will further explore the histories of these Titans, their origins, and the mysteries surrounding Skull Island and beyond, revealing the legendary battle that shaped these extraordinary beings and their connection to humanity.

      Directed by Adam Wingard, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire features Rebecca Hall (The Night House), Brian Tyree Henry (Bullet Train), Dan Stevens (Beauty and the Beast), Kaylee Hottle (Godzilla vs. Kong), Alex Ferns (Chernobyl), and Fala Chen (Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings).
