Feed the end of the through the right side of the buckle and stick the prongs through the holes you decide on using. Now feed the end back underneath the buckle so it passes over the post that's sewn into the belt. Pass it through the loop and the loop that should hold the horseshoe and that's it. Some instruction would have been nice for sure as that would have been a time saver. I hope my explanation makes sense.How’d you do it?

I’ve been wanting a comic version of Hellboy....cough I mean Hellman for a long time. So for the price I couldn’t afford not to take a chance on this release. Using the comic sculpt as my starting point....I went ahead and sewed myself some neoprene black thigh shorts and sculpted some hoove feet. Weathered the hooves, scratched them up, painted them gray and white, then used a gloss black over them and then sealed them with floor wax with a fan brush to give them gloss but marred look. Since they are actually feet that I sculpted over he has complete range of motion at the ankle so massive pivot and rocker and can hold the poses. Used some knock Off Assassin’s Creed boot tops cut down for his boot spats. I might actually change them later - or at least paint them weathered black with a few red highlights on the straps might be sweet, but for now I happier then a pig in a poke. I also sculpted a bigger cigar, but I’m not finished wrapping it in the thin brown strips of paper. Also making him custom stand.
Hope you dig him.

Got my second Hellmans...Miracle Whip...boy from hell today to make a straight movie figure. Side note that black t-shirt was ridiculously hard to get on.... if I hadn’t seen other had done it I would have thought it was impossible to do. If you put it on...take your time and have a beer or something stronger handy and don’t forget to breath between cuss words.
Listed a bunch of extra parts (heads, pants, hands, shirts, the extra Big Baby) all in my evilbay store. Went ahead and dry brushed silver and sealed both of my Samaritans, the one Big Baby I’m keeping (also bored out the cylinders to accept the shells because they’re too small to begin with) because the straight black plastic looks lacking.
Also did some slight mods...belt shortened, and shortened Samaritan holster leg strap. Also drilled a tiny hole in the cigar and placed a 1/4” piece of a thin metal finishing nail into the end of it. Lastly a tiny pilot hole using my Dremel was made in the teeth of one of the grimace sculpts. Making sure I didn’t touch the lips just the teeth. I then heated the sculpt while I glued the cigar in place pushing the pointed nail in as an extra anchor support into the sculpt itself. I heated it up so the lips were pliable so when I had the cigar seated in the teeth “hole” I made the lips appear to be more wrapped on the cigar like it was sculpted with him holding the cigar in his mouth. Makes for a pretty decent illusion that it was made that way. So now I have my Comic version and Movie version. Only need to give them both horseshoes and they will be done along with the custom stands I’m making for them along with my Sideshow Abe, Kroenen, and my Tittoys Kroenen.

Sorry if this has been asked, but what is the consensus from those who own both this and the Hot Toys. Is this an upgrade?

Don't know if it's an upgrade, but it is a nice "instead of" figure. It has enough to cover anyone's movie Hellboy fix. As much as many tout HT's efforts there are aspects about the figure that are lacking. Physique, height, deteriorating pants, etc. I also may not be the best judge 'cause I sort of like SS's Hellboy:

I owned the HT figure a few years ago and I'd consider the Artoys an upgrade. While I did love the HT body sculpt (even though not accurate) I feel the Artoys version is the one to get. Real leather goods (no rotting pants), the head sculpts, and scale push it over the top for me. The things that HT did better are so few that you'd be pretty foolish to go after that one on the secondary market. The only puzzling thing I can think of with the Artoys is why they didn't try to make the shells fit the Big Baby.
The ARTOYS figures even with some nuanced faults/issues is a worthwhile offering to buy and I recommend it to anyone who missed out on the problematic quality HT version from years back.
The thing that is hilarious and also peculiar at times is a certain segment within the 1:6 hobby who are very HT focused and figuratively/literally against any and all non-licensed third party offerings because of some being recasts, modified recasts, and/or actually original offerings or new offerings never offered by HT.
To be honest, I'm surprised this figure is being allowed to be discussed here as well.
I'm more impressed by HELL MAN than the "Leon" inspired figure by ARTOYS.

I love him! right at home with my del toro shelf .i pushed his head down all the way and actually cut off his rubber arms and pulled out all the foam so his arms and coat would hang more naturally. slipped the arms back on to give grip to the right hand of doom and you still see the wrsit on the left. im not taking the coat off so this works for me. added ankle extenders to abe so hes a slight taller

Good to know. I was hoping an actual joint system rather that just a wire in there. Thanks for answering.
