 M1 Hawaiian Hedorah Normally I'd never post a pic of just one toy, but this M1/Bullmark Hawaiian Hedorah is just amazing. I'm quite smitten with all things tokyo/ and or hawaiian paint schemes lately. I popped off a few pics at my desk this morning and as usual I'm just drawn to anything painted by M1, so beautiful.....    I was also quite shocked at the size of this guy. Less than 9 inches, alot smaller than I thought he'd be.

Re: M1 Hawaiian Hedorah it's pretty much an iconic japanese kaiju figure. You can't go wrong with any M-1 figure - they epitomize what draws people to japanese vinyl.

Re: M1 Hawaiian Hedorah I think I'm going to end up pursuing as many M1 Hedorah as my bank account allows. Too bad with the exception of the Clear/ Clear Painted and GID they're pretty hard to come by at a decent price.

Re: M1 Hawaiian Hedorah FYI - the M-1Go Hedorah is a reissue of the original Bullmark Hedorah, so it's standard scale(9"). The original Bullmark Hawaiian Hedorah is big $$$$, so the M1 reissues are really nice for collectors who (like myself  ) can't afford the real thing. Plus the M1 versions are always more carefully painted.

Re: M1 Hawaiian Hedorah Great score. this is really underrated and not talked about enough.
Someone just sold about 4 M1 hedorahs on ebay including this one(lost the auction) and they sold at decent prices. We have the green m1 version currently in stock at super7.

That's where I got this guy. He had about 10 up for auction. I lost to Ian (smog9monster) on two of the other auctions so don't feel bad (I wasn't upset, just glad I scored one!). Can't wait to see him post pics as I think he has about 10 or more of these guys now.

Re: M1 Hawaiian Hedorah I was surprised how much the original yellow version of the M1 went for on the auction you mentioned. It went for over $140 if I remember correctly.
These M1 Hedoras are really nice. I have 6 now and I think my favorite is the painted black and the original yellow color scheme.
I'm currently looking for the painted red version that came out a few years ago.
