A guide for this piece: about $408, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.
With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

A Smog Monster That Glows
Hedorah was Toho's warning about pollution, and here he becomes something almost beautiful: a rainbow of crackle lines by day, a body of green light by night. A big PICOPICO sculpt, a Painter Net hand finish and a festival-only release make it a true designer kaiju.
Best for: Designer kaiju and custom soft vinyl collectors

The Smog Monster in full colour: a large Hedorah sculpted by PICOPICO and custom painted by Painter Net, cast in glow-in-the-dark vinyl and released as a limited overseas-licence edition at the Taipei Toy Festival 2025. Unused, with a cedar presentation box.
The Piece
Hedorah first oozed onto the screen in Godzilla vs. Hedorah in 1971, a creature born of pollution, and PICOPICO's sculpt captures him at his most monumental: a heavy, hunched body, short gripping arms, a long trailing foot and the great vertical red eyes that give the character its unsettling stare.
Painter Net has covered the whole surface in a fine web of crackle lines that runs through the spectrum, from pink at the crown through violet, blue and green to yellow and orange at the feet, over a white ground. Because the vinyl itself is luminous, the figure changes character entirely in the dark: the body glows green and the crackle lines stand out like veins of light, as the night photographs show.

Authenticity & Care
Checked and photographed in Japan before dispatch. Keep soft vinyl away from direct sun and heat, which can fade custom paint, and dust with a soft dry brush. A few minutes under a lamp charges the glow.
Delivery from Japan

Import duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; please ask anything you wish to know before you buy, and see our published policy.
