Post hedorah marmit question...
this is my favorite hedo sculpt:

does anyone know how many "colorways" or "versions" or whatever this mold is done in?
and pictures would rule too!

Don't know if this is all of them...

The sculpt is part of the Kaiju Tengoku (Monster Heaven) line.

This Marmit version is IMO the one that closest resembles the hedorah from the movie. I was just watching it the other night and my case was right next to the TV so I kept having to do a double take! I have the GID version and had the blue painted. Highly recommend tracking one down.

Gasp! Club Tokyo is your new Bible. Read it. Learn it. Love it.

Seriously, it is a great resource. It's not complete, but it's pretty damn close.

Pic stolen from Flickr (and I think a board member's too, sorry about that!)

But these giant Marmit Hedorahs are pretty much the best things EVER:

My kingdom for an apartment large enough to display them...

That pic is from Ian's (smogmonster) flickr. I think those were the first monster heaven hedorah and are huge. 13 inches. 2002 is the year. 2004 for the other version.

The really crazy thing is Marmit actually came out with a set of Hedorahs that are even bigger than those. :shock:

Someone on here has one. Maybe they will favor us with a pic?

Post Re: hedorah marmit question...
don't forget the clear orange sparkle version that came out a few years ago = I think that was either S7 or Max Toy version. I looked at the one I have and it just has "marmit" on the bottom so I might be mistaken :D

Did all of the orange/sparkle have the white spray on the top of the head, or were there some that only had painted eyes? Whatever the case, I love the white-topped sparkle orange - it's the best!

The main Marmit Hedorah sculpts:

Monster Heaven 13 inch (smogmonster pic above) 2002
Monster Heaven 9 inch 2004 like the glow pic above, maxtoy version etc etc
Marmit Giant Hedorah kind of like the extended version of the 9 inch only 14 inches (you've seen pics of this guy in Mori's shop- came in hawaiian, tokyo, grey colors etc etc) 2005
Marmit Second Mold Hedorah- glow or grey- the one that looks hunched over 2006
Marmit Mega Giant Hyper HobbyHedorah- like the pic above, I think this guy was 2 and half feet?

Post Re: hedorah marmit question...
yeah, that's the one! the eyes I have are white, yellow, red pupils - I wonder if that's the same in the photo but different eyes due to a flash? Either way, it's one of the cooler hedorah's that I have :D

Post Re: hedorah marmit question...
my mtc orange glitter version is the same as your's ccp. i think that photo is a bit off.
i also have a marmit globster version of hedorah.
it is a different sculpt, not quite as much of a shelf hog, it has a smaller tail.
this one has both glitter and glow vinyl underneath-the best of both worlds.
i was always blown away at the craftmanship that went into it.

Image

here's one hand-although my crappy pic doesn't do justice to the glitter imbedded in the translucent blue on gid.

yeah dude, that one is definitely cool! and being a non-shelf hog is a good thing when trying to cram a bunch of hedos onto one shelf. those long tails use up a lot of space!

That hedo's a beauty, very soft and subtle looking. Totally off track, but nice little Butanohana conga line you have going in the background Jojo. Got to give the Buta love whenever I can.
Man, I hope that didn't sound too weird.

I feel an updated shelf pic coming on...

My giant Marmits are some of my favourite Hedorahs

I'm running out of room but couldn't resist another 2 of these guys (orange and dark green) just waiting for them to arrive!

More pics later...

this pic shows the white sooo much better. i like it!
the one on the left seems to have some different sizing of arms, etc. is this a different sculpt, or are my eyes messed up tonight?

the one on the left (darker) is a different company/sculpt altogether. It's by Marusan. Wasn't your eyes playing tricks :wink:

The Globsters double-pull Hedorah is a work of art. That thing is so nice!!! Some of the candy-case Hedorahs are also very cool.
