    Gargamel Hedolan Question
    Ok, I am so new to this stuff.
    I bought this figure and just got it : Gargamel x Bwana Cosmos Hedolan.

    Here is my question, are there other Hedolans that have eyes like this?

    All the other ones I have seen have the solid color eyes.

    And, again, I am new, Gargamel and Hukkokudo both make versions of this figure?
    What is the difference?

    I really like it.
    Its doesn't have alot of colors, but it really grew on me after I got it.
    Also, Bwana was really cool to deal with.

    To my knowledge there is only one other hedo with those eyes and it was koji harmon for some New Years sale and he just painted 1 of them.

    This gargamel hedoran that you have was custom painted by Bwana ...limited number release and he changed the eyes to the googly ones.

    All the other gargamel hedorans can we found at gargamel.jp for a visual checklist.

    The visual difference of the hedorans is pretty obvious when you compare them side by side...the are similar but the bodies are different

    Here's the hukko compare to yours

    There was a google-eyed Hedoran in the Kaiju Kollision lucky bags. Think someone here has it...

    The Hedoro/Hedoran bros. are based on vintage toys from a company called IKB.

    Hukkokudo = IKB repro
    Gargamel = stylized version of IKB original
