I am new to the Kaiju scene, having come via "urban" vinyl. I am keen on the Hedorah figures, regardless of make. As a newbie to this, can someone help advise what brand might a fig be if it has "SAN" stamped on one foot. Furthermore, is this a common brand, expensive/cheap etc. Any resources to find out more would be handy. Thanks in advance.
A really cool Marusan Hedorah is up for sale in the Buy/Sell/Trade forum. I've been trying to resist the urge to buy it... http://www.skullbrain.org/bb/viewtopic.php?t=7420
...great figure! guess maru means circle. so only it has SAN stamped in a circle u got to try and get long time sold out super 7 mag issue 2 with a huge awesome article on hedorah!!! try ur luck here - should have some left http://www.chibigojitoys.com/pages/papergoods.html as good as s7 store. should have some figs too. go to yahoo auctions japan and type in ヘドラ and u will get a good overview whats out there and what ebay prices are way overpriced.
Marmit and CCP make some great Hedorah figures, too. CCP has made figures of Hedorah in his several sages of evolution; tadpole, flying, etc. and most of them have eyes that light up. Marmit and Marusan have made some great variations of the Smog Monster, as well as Bare Model. Happy Hunting!
And of course figures by M1Go...I actually prefer their hedorah sculpt over the Marmit and Bear Model ones.
WOW! Thanks everyone. The figures I have stumbled across via this bbs have really fired up my passion for figures again. I felt twinges of it diminishing as James Jarvis's World of Pain series has drawn to a close (for now?) and BxH have become a bit too excited over colour variations. But you have shown me that there is a LOT more out there to discover! Cheers!
