Like a lot of people, I've come into the habit of picking up the various hedorans that companies make when i see them. Who knows what the appeal of this shambling mound is... My guess is the weird arm joints which when you rotate the arms in any way, the resultant expression is hilarious. What are the favorites out there? Of the ones that i have, i really like the Toygraph 'transforming' hedorah as well as the charactics glow. The next one i'd like to find is the M1 Final Wars one; the sculpt looks nice and detailed and the metalic spray is nice.

Do you have a scat fetish paul? Out of the group you have there bryanarchy, I would have to say it's a tie between the glow Charactics and the Toygraph Transforming. Out of my personal collection my favorite is the set of Charactics painted by M1.

No I don't have a scat fetish. I like toys and pretty pink donuts. Oh wait, Unchikin...... yeah...I might. Sorry to send the post off subject so rudely! I like the Marmit flying Hedora and the Glow M-1 Bullmark repro.

yeah the M1 paint is a different mold, my favorite of the charactics molds. I think the S7 store has the final wars hedorah in stock....

Some of these Hedorans have a very "Cthulhu" look to 'em. Especially that one of Paul's. Bryanarchy - I like that one of yours on the far right. Looks damn purposeful!! I really don't know much about this side of Japanese vinyl, but love looking at all you guy's collections of the stuff. Always amazing!

OK-so who here has the really BIG Marmit Hedorah? So far I have limited myself to CCP Hedorahs, (the Gargamel hedorans don't count because they're not Toho licensed) but some those other ones are looking pretty nice! For instance, I like you collection, bryanarchy!!

isaac- what constitutes a charactics x gargamel hedorah? On the s7 website, there's a gargamel hedorah labeled as charactics... is that him? which is like the one in my pic on the left? If so, i got a killer deal on him. I totally agree with moriachi, they are totally cthulhu-esque. I'd love to get my hands on the really big marmit one...

my favorite is the Marmit Monster Heaven Glow version they released at the end of 2004 (for a festival in Tokyo). Really great sculpt, and the glow is an excellent night light. I don't have the blue version, but I really like that one also.

i have these two nice flying hedorahs. the splattery paint one has some cool glow paint splattered onto it. they were both super7 store exclusives.

Which marmit giant hedorah - there are 2 versions! I can vouch for both, they are great. The flyinf hedorah figures were super duper limited, consider yourself very lucky!

the splatter one on the left was 15 pieces at the super7 godzilla art show opening awhile ago. the one on the right was 25 pieces the day the super7 store first opened, if i remember correct. i have the numbered header cards stashed away somewhere, i could be wrong on the numbers.

It's about 12-14" tall. Actually, to my knowledge, there were FOUR versions. Dark Green, DARKER Green, and two colorways of the GID. The Green ones are more valuable (poss. more ltd.). Mine was the first GID version, and hasn't risen much in value, despite being the prettiest! (IMO). I've never seen the 2nd GID version being resold. It's even possible they never made it in the end, although I did see all four on display at the (now closed) Marmit Gallery in Tokyo, which is where they were sold. I was kind of lucky. I just happened to visit the day mine went on sale. "Did you come for THIS?", they asked me. "But of course!", I replied.

I really like the original Bullmark Hedorah, but there's something very, uh, gynecological about the combination of the sculpt and paint job. I think you can really see this when you look at the glow M-1 Go reissue that was sold to buyers of the Bullmark Story Book. The Charactics mini clear Hedorahs are like candy. They're incredibly hard to resist. The giant Marmit Hedorah is great to look at, too, but if Marusan produces a glow version of their giant 40 cm toy it will probably be the king of all Hedorah toys.

Marmit released light green, dark green, orange, GID and a very rare white version of the 13" tall Monster Heaven Hedorah. Here are the two Smoggies of this sculpt in my collection:

Actually there are many more versions, as Marmit is notorious for releasing super-limited color variants as unannouned show exclusives. I have pics of a white w/ blue sprays and a different GID (I can post after uploading them) and on YJ I've seen a few others. toho-gfan wrote: Here are the two Smoggies of this sculpt in my collection: Nice. The orange one I practically never see anymore.
