 Re: Hedoran Conga Line
Thanks for all the compliments, I'm so happy to share these pics and my love for this toy. It's hands-down the best sculpt out there and earned my undying love for Gargamel.
The blue one Vombie was asking about is actually a custom by Sir PaulKaiju that I acquired from Mr Pickleloaf (if i recall correctly). It's really amazing; I'll snap a shot and post it later today.
The green with yellow spray was a Thrashout Lottery version limited to 15. It took a couple tries on YJA to get this one, it's gone pretty crazy, but finally I snagged one. It's really a marvelous colorway. Not my favorite, but definitely top 5.
The one thing I gotta say is my first hedoran (the bullmark yellow version) is still my favorite. I know this one is dead common, but it's just so pretty and along with the hawaiian version sums up and connects the old and new schools of Japanese vinyl.

I only own this one walking hedoran, but hands down the best version. Everyone should own this guy if you're into the sculpt. Beautifully painted.

 Re: Hedoran Conga Line
Amazing. I only have one of these, the clear blue.
Love the sculpt, Gargamel's best I think. I could die happy with the Hawaii version and/or the GID fill, those are my faves. But they're ALL pretty rad, really.

Of course it's the best, it's by Charactics!

 Re: Hedoran Conga Line
I thought this was the old Hedo conga line thread - but stoked to see it is a new complete conga line!
Awesome collection and collector here! Despite all the anti-completist comments out there, there is something so satisfying about either completing yourself, or seeing someone else complete a series like this. Super-RAD!

Quick question, isn't there an Unpainted Yellow?

 Re: Hedoran Conga Line
As promised, a marvelous Paul Kaiju custom:  The unpainted yellow has plagued me, but i'm pretty sure that it's a one-off or just one of the yellow charactics ones that evaded the spray and got into Hiro's hands... In any event, Hiro seems to have the only one that i've seen unless anyone knows otherwise. As I mentioned to Vombie, even if it was a release, i wouldn't be too stoked on trading or spending the amount that someone would want on an unpainted vinyl version of the most common colorway.
