Caught up with this thread, and I'm happy to see many new fans flocking to the original source material. It's wonderful, and this piece has reinvigorated my own interest in Hellboy. I never got to read all of them, but do have through the fifth Library edition. Just picked up the Art of edition to go with them, will buy volume six soon, and will likely start from the beginning again reading the whole story on Comixology. Silly, but I like to preserve my hardcover editions. Been super busy with school the past three years. No time to read...
Most importantly for me, personally, this piece was the darling of the show. Both from Sideshow, and from the entire SDCC. I'm of the feeling lately that I've been priced and sized out of Sideshow collecting. But I will order the exclusive of this piece on day one. He's not too big, but big enough to make a bold statement in what I hope to craft into a tight and beautiful collection.
Gang, he's really gorgeous in person. I can't stress that enough.
