The Japanese figure manufacturer CCPJAPAN has begun accepting pre-orders for two AMC (Artistic Monsters Collection) Hedorah figures at hobby shops, mass retailers, and online stores across Japan.
AMC is a popular series that brings special effects characters to life in a style unique to CCP JAPAN. This time, two types of Hedorah, one of the most popular monsters in the Godzilla series, have been made as retro-design soft vinyl figures with "Nightmare Ver." black and vivid red colors.

■AMC Hedorah Quadruped Nightmare Ver. (AMC ヘドラ 四足歩行 ナイトメア Ver., AMC Hedora Shi-soku Hokō Naitomea Ver.)
A new version of the four-legged stage of Hedorah makes its long-awaited appearance in the AMC series!! Although it has been sold in the past, the four-legged Hedorah has not been available for several years, but now it is back with completely new specifications.
A distinctive feature of this new model is the use of "doll eyes" for the kaiju's eyes. Doll eyes have previously been used for the Landing Stage, Chimney Landing Stage, Growth Stage, and Complete Stage forms of Hedorah, but due to manufacturing difficulties, they were not included with the four-legged version. For this new version, CCPJAPAN has made adjustments that make it possible to release this figure with fitted doll eyes.
The eyes are open to different degrees on the left and right, and the eyeballs protrude widely. It matches the terrifying image of the Hedorah character.
The four-legged form, which is very rare for Hedorah figures, is also appealing. With a pose that looks like it's crawling on the ground and bone-like molds protruding from the surface of its body, this soft vinyl figure is extremely impressive in terms of sculpting.
In addition, the paint job uses the Nightmare color scheme that has been popular with previous AMC series figures. The black body has a vivid color scheme that catches the eye, with candy-painted red on the limbs and spray-painted metallic purple.
This is the first time in a long time that the quadrupedal Hedorah has appeared, and it has also been upgraded. Be sure to enjoy the eerie texture of this figure in your hands!

■AMC Hedorah Underwater Nightmare Ver. (AMC ヘドラ 水中棲息期 ナイトメア Ver., AMC Hedora Suichū Seisoku-ki Naitomea Ver.)
The underwater Hedorah, which could be said to be Hedorah's original form, is back in the AMC series after more than 10 years!
At the beginning of the movie GODZILLA VS. HEDORAH (ゴジラ対ヘドラ, Gojira Tai Hedora, 1971), Hedorah attacks tankers at sea, and this underwater form is now available in Nightmare colors.
This form of Hedorah has not been reprinted for over 10 years, so some people may not know that this form exists among CCP JAPAN's Hedorah figures. It features a slightly undulating pose as if it is swimming, with sharp and bold arrangements that are typical of CCP JAPAN. The detailed surface of the body and the shape of the tail are characterized by numerous folds that seem to have been pushed to the limits of what can be reproduced with soft vinyl.
Like the quadrupedal version, this one is finished in the popular Nightmare colors. It has an impression that matches the eerie atmosphere of the dark sea where it prowls after ships. This soft vinyl figure perfectly matches the image of its underwater life form, with its large eyes painted with a gradation color that make them appear to be glowing.
Be sure to get your hands on this long-awaited reprint of Hedorah's underwater life form.

About CCPJAPAN
CCPJAPAN's Unique Realism with Soft Vinyl
Soft vinyl is a half-century old technique in Japan. It is a hollow molded product obtained by polymerizing vinyl chloride monomer by pouring it into a mold and heating it, and the doll made through this process is called soft vinyl.
Hollow, lightweight, and unbreakable are the greatest characteristics of soft vinyl. The production speed is fast, and the cost of molds is inexpensive, making it a molding method that can produce a relatively small number of products for a small number of needs.
CCP has continued to produce works of manga, anime, and special effects, representative of Japanese POP culture, under the theme of “preserving them for posterity as three-dimensional materials. CCPJAPAN has continued to produce works based on the theme of “preserving Japanese pop culture, manga, anime, and special effects works as three-dimensional materials for posterity. Compared to fragile ceramics, CCPJAPAN produces mainly soft vinyl works that will last for hundreds or even thousands of years.
About 20 years ago, CCPJAPAN established a method of expressing realistic details and molding techniques for soft vinyl, and through its advanced coloring techniques, CCPJAPAN's works aim for greater realism. We hope you will experience the realism and unique sensibility of CCPJAPAN through our works.
