This was a surprise, I thought for sure that this figure would be the one that ended up being the exclusive figure you could only get by pre-ordering the special Japanese Blu-ray set for Godzilla: King of the Monsters. But it does make sense that like with Godzilla (2014), they ended up going with a poster version figure.
All the better for me, because I really wanted an SHMA Burning Godzilla figure.
The sculpt and articulation is the exact same as any SHMA Godzilla 2019, the main draw here is the paint.
I wouldn't say this figure is 100% screen accurate, but given how much the lighting on Burning Godzilla fluctuates, is that even possible? For what we get, the fiery paint on this figure is pretty great. I especially love how the back of the figure is brighter than the front and bottom of the figure. I also like the mix of yellow and orange on the Dorsal Fins.
Honestly, I'm not sure weather I prefer the paint on the NECA figure or the SHMA figure. Both look great. But I will say I prefer the paint on the Dorsal Fins of the SHMA figure much more than the NECA fins.
The only place I feel the paint may be distractedly uneven are the arms.
Please excuse the pun, but this figure is fire! I can't really find any faults with this figure other than some issues with the joints on mine. Parts of the tail like to pop off and the mouth wont really close all the way.
Nevertheless, I'm glad to own this figure as a companion piece to my other King of the Monsters figures and even happier that it's widely available. Definitely pick it up if you can.
