In this corner, hailing from the outer regions of space, from the Dark Gas Nebula in the Orion Constellation, by way of the Ikeya Comet... You may know him as the Sultan of Sludge, The Prince of Pollution, The Kaiju that made Godzilla fly, The Smog Monster... coming off of a cinematic record of 0 wins and 2 losses. Let's hear it for HEDORAH!!!!

I figure we can give FW Hedorah a home here as well, since he got less screen time in that movie than any of his forms did in Smog Monster.

Nice topic! Now it's time for some sludgy, non-biodegradable oily pollution = POLY VINYL CHLORIDE!

Ooops, I mean SMOGGIES on PARADE!!

The Marmit Vinyl Paradise series is my favorite kaiju line due to the old school retro & rough hewn look of the sculpts.
And their often bright colors, especially as seen in the Gallery versions is an aspect I like as well.

Those last two on the end are gaw-geous.
Here's a Final Wars Hedorah

Those Marmit Hedorahs look fantastic. I love Hedorah.

Here's my CCP Glow Hedorah. Looks pretty sweet at nighttime. Also the eyes light up and blink red/blue if he's hit. He's a pretty good size too, at about 10".

Oh boy! Our first CCP Hedorah (first of many?)

Who made the one you posted MekaG3k?

7 hedorahs in and 7 different color schemes for the eyes!

... Hedorah should be a fun one for the stylized figures

This is a mini-repro of the Bullmark Hedorah by Iwakura. It's one of the few items in my collection that I never opened b/c I got Yoshimitsu Banno to sign the header card at my first G-fest.

This should count... Even though the focus is on Godzilla, there is a dried Hedorah carcass sculpted into the base. And then there's his eyes/eggs/gonads/whathaveyou.... It's one of those little statues by Yuji Sakai.

Gashapon-HO!

This is one of my favorite gashapons. The color and detail are awesome, and I especially like how the top of the left side of his head is translucent purple, like its actively bubbling. I like it far better than the 6.5" Bandai.

Final Wars Hedorah is pretty ugly. but a good ugly. the kind of ugly you'd expect from sludge monster, although it lacks the charm of the original.

Series: Bandai Ultimatemonsters Godzilla Series 1
Character: Final Wars Hedorah
Size: ~5.5

I really like the Gigabrain and the "alien-like" CCP. I always was tempted to get a glow variant of the CCP to match my other Hedorah glow CCP.

I just love how he's walking forward and hunched over, like a motherf'n gangsta.

If money was unlimited, I'd totally buy like all the CCP Hedorahs. They're my favorite.

FW Hedorah is ok, but he's just not in the same league as the original. Kind of like FW Gigan, Rodan ect.

Now, I AM partial to FW Anguirus but I know that I'm in the minority there.
