Not sure what the brand of beer was in the flick but I just got a set of 10 cans off eBay. Bud or Bud Light, but even still.

The beer he's drinking are Tecate Light, a mexican beer, but on HB1 I think he drank Budweiser...

 

[uscmhicks]

I think any beer would be fine for this guy.
I think hes just your general alcoholic demon from hell .
It would explain the red face.

 

[occulum]

Im sure the beer he drinks in each movie is decided by the amount of $$$ the beer company pays to have their beer on screen ...

The only thing that I worry about is that no info on available pics about Hellboy's shirt.
Of course he's cool without it, HT done great work on body & etc, but a shirt is a must have for him.

 

[Odowankenobi]

A black shirt probably isn't that hard too find if he ends up not coming with one.

 

[Sined]

Of course you can.
You just didn't get the main thing - it's not a 10$ figure.
When you spend 150-250$ on a thing like this you have a right to get screen-accurate one to don't bother yourself with such a little worries.

 

[screamingmetal]

Both look absolutely amazing, I hope they're affordable.

But where are Abe's lower leg fins? Did he have them in Hellboy 2?

i am only collecting 1/6 scale figs from just three licenses(star wars,iron man, and the dark knigh) but it looks like im going to have to get hellboy cause he looks just too cool to pass up

 

[uscmhicks]

I want hot toys to tackle Wink next.
If they can do a powerloader and mark 1 surely they can handle this guy.

My only worry is the ones I have had with hot toys making a hulk , would it just turn out a massive mound of rubber ?.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

I'd want Hulk to be as articulated as possible and I see the rubber being a problem there.

Normally you'd probably be right but Tecate was chosen for the colors on the can.

 

[LChinoz]

WOW! That looks amazing!

 

[minivader]

very cool looking figures. though I am kinda hesitant on the longevity of the rubber body. limited posability and possible cracking are big concern.

What to do, what to do

None of these things are going to last forever, that's for sure. I sold my HT Begins suit TDK Batman because I could really easily imagine that suit falling apart in the not-too-distant future. And several people have reported big problems w/ the ED 209. It's impossible to tell what will happen 5 years down the line...
Hellboy is much more of a favorite character for me, though. I would ideally prefer no rubber but I can't possibly pass up this figure. I'll probably get 2 Hellboys and try to transplant one to a custom body w/ a black shirt on.

I think as long as these figures are kept in decent enough enviroments ( not too hot or cold ) they will last a long time.
I think the whole drama over the rubber on these figures has gone overboard.

I'm not suprised the ed-209 rubber was cracking since it was stretched very tight. As long as the rubber isn't stretched too much I think it should be fine.

I hope I'm right anyway ! If these started falling apart I would cry.

 

[YoNoSe]

Yeah, I'm not really worried. But I think it's good to go into it knowing that one day there will be some kind of degradation of the rubber.

 

[uscmhicks]

the thing is I still have figures from the 80s ( cheap figures ) and there rubber is perfectly fine. These figures have been kept in real crappy enviroments and just threw amongst other stuff.

I think if the rubber is put on the figures body right it will last a long time.

I don't want Hot Toys to even think about Wink until they make a Liz Sherman, Johann Krauss, and Professor Broom.

...though I'm not sure they could do Old Broom as he wasn't in HBII (only flashback Broom), and we all know the problems with John Hurt's likeness from the Alien Kane figure....
