I thought that this process would result in a smaller, not larger, product than the original? I might be wrong on this, but just wanted to put it out there for ya! You're right. Quote: Also, can you tell us more about the planned Giant M1GO Hedorah? Giant like those 4' Kanegons?

Re: A Guide to Modern Reissues and Replicas of Vintage Kaiju Ah - thanks! In the waves of mid-size Hedorah eye-ball sets I forgot all about the giant Hedorah. So if 43cm is "giant", what are the 4' tall figures called? Super Giant?

Re: A Guide to Modern Reissues and Replicas of Vintage Kaiju Good job Roger! Only one change I'd make: Hukkokudo is now owned or made by Target Earth but then again isn't TE a subsidiary of Marmit also?

Re: A Guide to Modern Reissues and Replicas of Vintage Kaiju One thing I would really like to know is, whether there is any way to tell the B-Club re-issues from the vintage, with the absence of any writing (either Popy or Bandai) on the bottom. Anyone have ideas if there is something simple?

Re: A Guide to Modern Reissues and Replicas of Vintage Kaiju Colors. B-Club reissues are deliberately made with different vinyl/paint colors from the originals. If you want to know what the original colors were as a comparison, get a book like Kazunori Saito's Beautiful Book of Monsters.
There are a couple of reissues out there, like M1GO's Hedorahs and Megalons, that are made using the colors of the original, but it's done using paint jobs on flesh vinyl, and care is taken to leave some unpainted bits showing on the underside of the feet and other places.
