This week's addition continues the trend of towering figures to terrify the rest of your collection with. This is the Marmit 13" Hedorah in variant colors. The variant is more rare than the original, which I used to have. There is a third color variant that I never owned, but the orange "burning" Hedorah is the rarest of the three.

The sculpting makes him look more like a ghost who walked by a Crayola factory when it exploded, but he is still an awesome figure. He's articulated at the arms, legs, head and tail. Thee vinyl he's sculpted from is very thick, durable, and hand-painted. You'll be hard-pressed to find one of these on E-Bay or anywhere else, for that matter. His eyes are vintage Hedorah, piercing and yet goofy at the same time.

He's been a favorite for me to take to conventions. He travels well, puts up with abuse, and when you stand him on a table to stare at passers-by, you can't help but notice him. Girls love to pose with him for pictures, and he's totally huggable. Currently, I have him on a shelf with some of my other favorite Hedorah figures.
