I'm liking the Hukko hedorah sculpt more and more...but that paint job is pretty hideous. Although I could change my mind next week.

Hideous!? More like classic. :wink:

I think all of the vintage colours have been produced now. The red with black spray was released a few months ago and I thought that was the last of the litter?/

See that line of material across the "mouth"?
That's a big ol' nasty stress crack!



When I first got my Smogun (red & black version) I thought that line was a piece of hair that had been somehow stuck in the paint. Then I saw other pictures of the figure and realized that others had that same line.

Apparently still not dead (as had been rumored for a bit). Look at these repress gems (stolen from GT):

I thought they were reabsorbed into TE/Marmit.

Love the Daikyo Ceratosaurus repro... too much for me, though. Maybe if they do a color variation. I can never justify paying Hukko's prices for a straight repro- rather just put the money aside to hunt for the vintage item.

They just did a white version of the Daikyo Diatrama (giant bird), which was pretty interesting.

As far as I know you are correct about being absorbed into TE.

I think GT had a preorder of the set of 4 and he was in there.

So this is the second release.

The photo from CKA a few posts above has it. Different brown ( I think..) and has a white face.

Forgive my ignorance, what is TE/Marmit? I know Marmit but don't know "TE"

Hukkos prices are expensive, but it's great that they are reissuing some of these vintage pieces because although I agree that a vintage piece is worth paying out the dollars for they are just so damn hard to find. In the several years I have been searching I have only seen the Daikyo Diatrama appear on YJA like 3 times. I know one of them sold for well over 40,000YEN!

Any pics of the white version of giant bird Diatrama???

Found this photo yesterday. I had never seen it before! (the pic is taken from a japanes toy blog). This one looks like an original.
Yes Hukkokudo is a bit too pricey, but man I'd like one. Congrats on the original Spacemonkey66.

Yes, Target Earth. Speaking of them, whatever happened to the Daikyo-style Bagun that was supposed to be released?

if hukko's histpry still holds true, just wait a little while and people will be trying to give them away

i dont know if they have changed their run numbers now or anything, but the first ones were over 100 and people end up selling them for 30 or 40 at times

Vintagevinyl has a few pics of this guy as well. I like him but he always reminds me of Mr. Burns.
