Great shot...I love Metron!

So I see 1-5 from L to R

1. 1975
4. 1969
5. 1967

the years above are the only releases, I believe (well except for 2006). What are 2-3, looks like the same mold, but the colorway is different?? Bootlegs?

2 - is flesh based
3 - not really sure. i would guess early on since it is more similar to the marusan paint scheme with a dot instead of a V at the waste. Bullmark stamp.

Mike, is that the old shot we took for the magazine with some of yours and some of mine in the same group or is this a new shot? We would need to add the green hawaii version with white eyes as well.

#3 has heavier spray and yellow on the legs where #4 does not.

V on the waist is first edition Marusan, the dots came later.

Hawaii Metron looks great Jeff. What's the base vinyl color? Would love to see a frontal shot if you get a chance.

Geeze I remember buying up a bin of sealed Hawaii Metrons, Pegassa, and one other in the series years ago for $2 a pop...
One of those strange but true stories... Still have all three.

The green spray hawaii metron is a light grey vinyl color.

The #3 and #4 are simple bullmark paint variants.

it is a new one from the other day. I have been on a metron kick lately. They look cool and they do not take up space that i no longer have in my case.

number 3 also has blue instead of red on the hands and the back is fully painted blue, like the marusan, instead of stripes like number 4.

addition to the above response, there is also yellow on the side like the marusan. I have a picture of the backs which shows a bigger difference between 3 and 4. I was mainly going by the hand colors on them at first.

Post Re: metrons
let's see the back photo!

Also, here is a crappy, night time on the floor pic of my 5 versions (l to r)
-flesh allover painted hawaii
-grey with green hawaii, white eyes
-grey with green hawaii, silver eyes
-bullmark with dark blue spray (photo is very misleading), no yellow on legs
-marusan v waist with medium blue spray

considering you can't see the color difference well in my photo, is #2 for you a much darker blue than the others, or the same?
Let me know if you see another blue hand/yellow leg bullmark.
