I was so close to pulling the trigger on this one, but the eyes seemed to blend in too much with the body. A small regret, but I'm still happy with what I got.

I want the Kaiju Dokudoku Gaiju and the Dokuroman just in case anyone snagged them and falls out of love with them, or if there still there and someone wants to grab them for me. Awesome! This show just looks incredible even by Gargamel standards. Thanks for all of the coverage guys.


Dokuroman was GID too

I really like the one-off Deathras.....they just seem to really work well with custom paints. These two are AMAZING...

Nothing yet here. This is my Thrashout cherry so I'm not sure how long it's supposed to take?

It was my understanding that email orders were sold as lottery as well if they had multiple inquiries for one item. Could be wrong though.

I'm in the same boat. The only things left that I might be interested in are the Helpers, but even then I think I would be happier with just waiting for the new standard Hedo to makes its way over here.

No luck here, but I have a feeling I almost won something.

Hope someone on here did win stuff though.

The last couple rounds of Gargamel show customs have looked really shiny in photos... are they that glossy in person? They almost make me think they are using Monster Kolor.

They're glossy, but nothing like the super-wet look that most MK jobs seem to have. I'm less experienced than say living dead & logang in this department, but judging from my Naoya & Kiyoka toys I'd say that Naoya often sprays some nice metallic paint (when well lit, may appear to have more gloss/glare) & Kiyoka's sprays are no more glossy than your average bare black or clear vinyl, which is glossy but not "wet" looking.

Like Rampage mentioned: the photos from TO shows are tricky because the cases are very well lit from the front, giving a glare or reflection on the surface of some of the toys. Also, the paints are metallic, not pearly (like MK), and seem to use a regular gloss coat, no more than the average production figure Gargamel puts out IMO.

Comparing now, it totally looks like a mini Hedo header card. Since the crouchers usually don't have headers, I'd say we're going to see something none of us have laid eyes on before! :twisted:


Joe hinted at that guy being a possible future release long ago, but still nothing's come of it (yet).

Another edit! After view the back comparison, not the same.

i think it might be the unpainted version. maybe.
in their page, it says the painted hedo is "color: blue 55"
and if i remember correctly, blue 55 is the color on the unpainted


OKay. I just got mine today and am literally blown away. That is indeed the unpainted version. Kiyoka nailed the paint job and I'm really impressed on the details of this hedoran.

curious ...why take unpainted blue vinyl then spray it with dark blue.greenish paint all over?

just got "mine" in as well.
garamon homage totally up my alley - what a thrilling colorway!

Without having seen the toy I would assume that it was painted with a transparent blue/green to achieve the final look. Either because (a) they couldn't get the exact vinyl color they wanted or (b) doing so results in a color with more depth, or (c) it helps with the fades they wanted to achieve - my bet is either "b" or "c".
I highly doubt they'd go to the trouble of having these produced in that color vinyl only to completely spray them with an opaque paint.

Those of you who have this Hedo and the Garamon, could we get some pics of them together? I'm wondering how well he goes with the M1GO Giant Garamon.
