One Up Hedora Shirts

Fri, Jul 4, 2008

Beyond Toys, kaiju

Did you miss out on the recent Max Toy Co Hedorah? Fear not, because One Up has you covered (literally) with this sweet 2-sided Hedorah t-shirt available for pre-order here. The shirts come in black (S,M,L,XL) and white (M,L) for 3,150 Yen ($30 USD) and are expected sometime this month. Notably, the shirt bears the copyright year of the classic Godzilla vs. Hedorah film. Hedorah (also known as hedora or The Smog Monster) was named for hedoro, the Japanese word for sludge, vomit, slime or chemical ooze. Since Hedorah feeds on pollution, it’s curious (yet comical) that he’s telling you to “Cleanup your room.” Maybe he’s sort of making a first-person statement. “Cleanup your room” like “Hulk smash.” Cool shirt, good price.
