Post Some new pick ups
Image

Some new vintage vinyl. As always, yahoo.jp is sort of a gamble. A few turned out to be worse then they appeared in the auction. The hidorah has some strange paint and i originally thought it might be repainted, but a friend in japan thought it was original. I also had never noticed that the bell seijin had a different color vinyl for the head. I looked at several books and the all appeared that way. Very odd. Oh well you never can have too many bullmarks.

That Hedorah looks like a Christmas tree from that angle. Never seen that sculpt before.

It is a hedoro kaiju (pollution monster) but its name is ZAZAHN ザザーン from "Return of Ultraman" 1971 (aka Ultraman Jack).

i think mike is reffering to the bird kaiju on the far right . its name is very simmilar to the smog monsters but also have seen it translated into "hydra " . what i want to know is whats up with the godzilla you bought ? this must be your 500th godzilla so it must be another variation . is this the one with a stamp on both feet ? also i know you must have a mini gigan already so whats the story on the one you just got ? BTW excellent haul !

The "Chrismas tree" kaiju on the left is Zazahn and the "bird kaiju" on the far right is Hydra aka Hidora ヒドラ which was in the original Ultraman tv series (7/66 - Episode 20).

Godzilla is just another tail variation. the gigan is a blue colored vinyl.
