Make sure to take a spin by that Mindzeye website. They have the statues up for pre-order now.
Here is the link:
https://www.mindzeyestudios.com/hellboy/
Note that the edition size for the SDCC Midnight version has been increased to 100, and it is not bronze. (For $125, you kinda figured it wouldn't be)
Painted Polystone is $250 (200 pieces)
and finally..
(the nicest version, in my opinion)
The cold-cast bronze is $265 (200 pieces)

I'm ususally all for the bronze but I'm really digging the midnight variant version.....it reminds me of old, weathered stone..like something from an old tombstone...which with the crosses and such seems rather fitting...plus you can't beat the price.
Also, doesn't look like there are too many left....mabe 20 or so....
I think that you're right. The midnight variant does look very nice.
I just won't be going to SDCC this year, so I won't be doing that preorder.
Usually I don't go for bronze, but I went for the bronze version of Indy on horseback (the painted version was blah), and I kinda like how this Hellboy statue looks in bronze.
Having a few variations was a good idea. Mindzeye can keep everyone happy.

They have the license for 1/6 scale figures, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they'll make them, I guess.
By the way, I was browsing Sideshow's site and saw this Mezco bust for the first time. What's with this? A bust that's just his arm? Isn't that a contradiction in terms?

I think the bronze is much more impressive.

I agree that the bronze looks the best. I don't really care about owning a bronze HB statue though, so I ordered the painted version.

I think this bronze beats the crap out of that overpriced Bowen bust.

Are you on the square?
Anyone going to SDCC who would get me a Midnight Variant?

TOE ordered from them before and was impressed from what he told me. They are a fairly new company and are really just starting to break out. That's all I know.

Del Toro talks a little bit about the Hellboy II DVD...
"Hellboy II: The Golden Army hits theaters July 11, but director Guillermo del Toro is ahead of the game with his home video plans.
“We start the DVD the day the screenplay gets approved,” del Toro said. “Javier Soto and I, we’ve been working on the DVD since day zero. He was there the first day we opened the offices. He has been documenting every step of the movie.”
Fans of del Toro’s previous extensive DVDs can look forward to the same wealth of material for Hellboy II.
“I like to let a very generous landscape come out for fans because I know the casual fan will never dwell into the DVD extras, really,” del Toro said. “But the kid who has no money to go to film school who wants to do short films, and do effects and do this and do that, can browse that the way I browsed Forry Ackerman’s Famous Monsters of Filmland or Starlog or Fangoria and listen and learn some of the craft.”
The model for del Toro was his director’s cut of the first Hellboy film.
“We have more content than we can shake a large stick at,” he said. “We we’re very proud of the Hellboy special-edition director’s cut, which was three discs, and we want to top it.”
However, fans shouldn’t expect a longer cut of the sequel.
“It’s the same as what I said in Blade II. All the deleted scenes are deleted because they were crappy. If you want to see them, that’s your problem. I think scenes that don’t work sometimes are good scenes or bad scenes, but they are taken out, and learning why they were taken out is very useful. As you direct and as you work, sometimes the most beautiful shot is the one that gets in the way of the storytelling, so you end up taking it out. I think it’s good schooling to know that. That crane that you spent half a day choreographing and beautiful Hitchcockian push-in, that’s the one you have to cut out. It’s nice for kids to learn that.”
The only problem may be for collectors. Since Hellboy was a Sony Pictures release and Hellboy II comes from Universal Studios, a DVD set of the two films is unlikely.
“I know, isn’t that a ^^^^^ to figure out?” he said. “I have the same concern, and I think the answer is we won’t unless someone strikes a deal that no one wants to make. I think that if at all possible I think the second and [eventual] third movie would get a package, but the first one won’t be there.”"

There's a 2 per person limit on the midnight variant. I've already ordered the max for me and Occulum. They are SHIPPING these out after SDCC - so you don't have to worry about bringing them home during CC....so hopefully those of you who want one will be able to find someone going that can get one for you. All they have to do is go to the booth and prove who they are and then the pieces will ship out after that.

I think I might just order that Midnight version, too cool, although the painted one is very nice. Or should I get both?
