hawaii hedo!!!

If we had a hawaii hedoran it wouldn't have made it out of the store alive.

I thought that one was technically "Tokyo" version?

I think this is Standard Bullmark Hedorah color scheme (based on the original Hedorah figure released in the early 70's).

For some reason people have started calling this color version the "Tokyo" colorway. Neither the Super7 Mook (or the original Super7 magazine article) or the recent Beautiful Book of Monsters refers to the Original Bullmark Yellow Hedorah as the Tokyo version.

The pink version of the Bullmark Hedorah is called the Hawaii version because it was made to be exported to the Hawaii market.

I could be wrong but I think it goes back further than the blop. A few years back when I was starting to buy Hedorans, I bought the yellow bullmark on ebay and it was labeled Hawaiian. When I referred to it that way, someone corrected me and said it was actually the Tokyo version of it, because the Hawaiian was the pink vinyl. My memory is totally hazy on who it was.

The logic was pink hedorahs were produced for Hawaii and so by some strange default, the yellows were for Tokyo.

Then those blops came out, they kind of confused me with the names and the different color schemes.
