Re: January 15th 2011 releases! Man, I wish the Hawaii didn't have the black on the chest. I love the rest of it besides that.

Brian, do you know if that black spot "means" anything? IIRC I first saw it on Hedorah toys and assumed it meant "toxic" or "pollution," like ... he's got black lung disease or something like that. Is there an origin story to the black spots on some of the Hawaii schemes?

Re: January 15th 2011 releases! but it's the black on the chest that marks it as hawaii! i'm so glad the mini zags still have some life left in them. this one is a must have.

Re: January 15th 2011 releases! Yeah, I knew that the black was part of the scheme. I just wish it weren't, because I love the scheme otherwise.
That Mummy Boy looks fantastic.

Re: January 15th 2011 releases! Distros will have the two Pocket figures, but the Zags are Super7 exclusive.
The original Hedorah figures by Bullmark, both the Yellow Regular and Pink Hawaii have a black spray on them. As to why the vintage have that spray, there is no real answer, as the colors don't really match the character at all. I assume that they made it brighter to appeal to kids. So whenever we make s tribute colorway, like this Hawaii Zagoran, it matches the vintage spray pattern. I hope that helps.

The GID LB zag is so so so close. (Something like koji's custom)  Bryce

Re: January 15th 2011 releases! All three of these look amazing. All I need to do now is convince my wife that we need them. Haha.

I know G is usually not big on doing runs if they already do a one off. So that means the chances of seeing a production on clear pink with the green sprays is very unlikely for: full size zag, mini zag and crouching zag. Kiyoka has done one offs for all of those. Bryce, you can add this up above.

Re: January 15th 2011 releases! Oh wow, now that crouching Zag looks great! So maybe it's the green that I'm not a huge fan of...
