Toys - Godzilla vs. Kong : Hiya Toys unleashes a Kong 2.0 figure that honors the MonsterVerse legacy

By Mulder, 24 december 2025

The MonsterVerse continues to inspire collectors and fans around the world, and Hiya Toys has clearly understood how much Godzilla vs. Kong marked a generation of moviegoers by revealing its new Kong 2.0 figure, a premium collectible packed with detail, story, and cinematic emotion. Standing at approximately 6 inches (about 16 cm), this figure captures the majesty, raw strength, and wounded nobility of King Kong as seen in Godzilla vs. Kong, the 2021 blockbuster directed by Adam Wingard and produced by Legendary Pictures with distribution by Warner Bros. Pictures. Crafted using original CG reference to preserve complete authenticity, the sculpt showcases every scar, every muscle, and every bit of emotional intensity that made Kong such a compelling character, with multilayered paint application emphasizing the fierce eyes, textured fur, and iconic chest wound symbolizing decades of struggle and survival.

For collectors, the accessories make this release particularly irresistible, because Hiya Toys has built this Kong 2.0 figure as a storytelling piece rather than just a static display. The set includes three interchangeable portraits—a neutral expression, a roaring battle face, and a snarling face—allowing fans to stage either cinematic heroism or primal rage. On top of that, the figure features an upgraded articulation system that provides an expanded range of motion enabling poses such as a quadrupedal stance or powerful battle-ready postures. The inclusion of multiple interchangeable hands and, especially, the translucent battle axe made famous in the film, immediately recalls the unforgettable confrontation between Kong and Godzilla. As a dramatic finishing touch inspired directly by the epic climax of the movie, Hiya Toys also includes a brand new battle-damaged Mechagodzilla head accessory, letting collectors recreate one of the most iconic and satisfying moments of modern monster cinema.

Beyond the toy itself, this release once again shines a spotlight on the film that reignited global passion for giant monster storytelling. Released in 2021, Godzilla vs. Kong brought together titans of cinema mythology in an explosive crossover event starring Alexander Skarsgård, Millie Bobby Brown, Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, Shun Oguri, Eiza González, Julian Dennison, Lance Reddick, Kyle Chandler, and Demián Bichir, with a screenplay by Eric Pearson and Max Borenstein, based on a story developed by Terry Rossio, Michael Dougherty, and Zach Shields. Despite pandemic-era challenges, the film became a theatrical savior, grossing approximately $470 million worldwide against a production budget estimated between $155 and $200 million, while also becoming a streaming powerhouse on HBO Max. The visual spectacle, the emotional presence of Kong, and the inventive staging of the titan battles helped cement the film’s place in the franchise’s history and directly strengthened enthusiasm for the sequel Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, also directed by Adam Wingard and released in 2024.

Hiya Toys understands the emotional link between fans and the MonsterVerse, and that’s why this figure isn’t just a product but a continuation of cinematic legacy. Priced at $58.99, with U.S. tariff included, the Kong 2.0 figure is scheduled for release in the fourth quarter of 2026, and pre-orders are already available through the Hiya Toys Shop, with additional retailers expected to follow. For longtime monster lovers, collectors who grew up with kaiju cinema, or newer fans who discovered the magic of these giants thanks to Legendary’s MonsterVerse, this figure serves as both a tribute to the spectacle of Adam Wingard’s film and a love letter to the eternal mythic rivalry and reluctant alliance between Godzilla and Kong. As the franchise continues to evolve and inspire, Hiya Toys’ Kong 2.0 stands as a powerful reminder that sometimes toys are far more than objects—they are miniature monuments to movie history, imagination, and the timeless thrill of seeing legends collide on screen.
