MMS83 - Hellboy II – HELLBOY figure Spec and Hi-res pics

[RJMacReady16]

amazing, the only thing that scares me is that rubber body. Just thinking ahead: could use the black shirt and torso from SS's HB if the rubber starts to fall apart.

I was actually wondering why HT excluded the shirt? Was it just to show off the body?

Figure's a real work of art though. Don't know if I can afford it, but he's a beaut.

That body looks quite durable.

To date, the best Hellboy out there has been the custom with moveable eyes produced in very limited numbers by Gorae (Sang-Hyam Kim):

Now this comes along and it makes Gorae's look...wait a minute...




...well, whadya know. Look who sculpted the Hot Toys Hellboy. "Gorae SH Kim." Hot Toys went to the guy who'd proven he could do it best. Smart.

A brilliant move indeed.

And probably why HT are the king of the 1/6 world.

 

[Wolfguy]

Absolutely brilliant!

Going to the most experienced HB sculptor!! Brilliant! Interesting info thanks

I imagine the people who paid top dollar for those figures aren't quite as thrilled that there's a much cheaper alternative available now.

I'm usually the one who's unimpressed, so before the others start hitting you with sticks----

What do you not like about it?

I was just telling the boss of the HT dealer here how I am glad that I am not a HB fan hence not needing to spend money on these but there more I look at the pictures, there I am convinced that I need HB and Abe.

Despite not being a fan I am a fan of art and these are work of art!!!

Well I love HB so I'm in a win-win, but I have to admit I've bought plenty of figures over the years purely because they are cool state of the art figures for their time, and these are, as you so rightly say, mini masterpieces!

I'd agree with Wookster. When i purchase figures, statues, art etc, I look for something visually stimulating and with the aesthetic wow factor...If i'm a fan of the specific movie, game or line etc, then i consider that to be a big Brucie Bonus

i didn't think this was possible, but these pics look even better!!!!

Exactly what I was thinking. The first pics showed the sculpt to have too much texture and roughness. Enough for me to think, "Ahhh--it's beautiful but I can probably pass..."

Now? I'm not so sure.

They show two RHOD. Are two included (open and clenched) or is it bendable? I remember the specs saying it was bendable. Maybe it is like the alien figure where one is bendable and one is in a fixed pose.

 

[Devil_666]

Sick!!! Anyone else notice the difference in stands. HB got the ball hugger and Abe has the traditional waist one (which I prefer).

And yeah Darren the non fist hand is bendable because you can see in some pics the fingers are kinda relaxed and in this one:

You can see one finger is pointing and the rest are bent. So it has to be bendable. Awesome looking.

Actually both is true -- it comes with a fist and an open hand that is bendy. And yes, these pictures look amazing.

 

[Zoolander]

That is one Kickass figure!!!

 

[wookster]

Cheers Darren, they look even better than the studio pics, the body looks more matte, very nice!
