Monster Toy Spotlight #7: Hedorah (Showa)

[KingKaiju]

Never understood all the hate for the BC Hedorah. Sure, there are way better figures out there, and it's not super amazing. But outside of the weird ass line going across it, I don't see what the fuss is about. It's a decent figure.

Three more figures with the classic Bullmark Hawaii paint styling.

Marmit Monster Heaven Giant Hedorah from 2006


Bear Model Hedorah - pink with smokestacks, first release from 2001


M1Go Hedorah - Bullmark mold with Tokyo and Hawaii paint versions

Just curious, but does anyone around here own and have photos of the full Hedorah Superhobby TV show/Hyper Hobby set? Other than the Clubtoyko photo, I don't believe I've ever seen any other photos of it.

^ i've seen it at auction for a decent price, but i just couldnt see owning that many Hedorahs with the SAME paint scheme.. which is weird because theres a few figures i have multiples of with different paints. I guess its just personal aesthetics

I've noticed that both Bandai Hedorah figures have surprisingly overlooked through this spotlight. Time to rectify this:

Here's my Bandai 6 inch Hedorah, released in 2006 in the Monster Island series:
