Hot Toys HBII Hellboy and Abe Sapien 12-inch Figures

[The ill Jedi]

Got a call from Cornerstore telling me that they have my HB in stock, I wasn't expecting him so soon, what a nice surprise!

Also, does anyone remember if it was in this thread that someone suggested a solution for setting the dye on the SSC HB shirt? I want to put it on my HT HB, any help is appreciated.

I think it was me and I was quoting someone else who said vinegar is a good dye setting agent...I am not advocating it but I know someone told me that when the dye on my ETD Bruce cat suit ruined the body.

So if you try it, do some online research on it first cause I never pursued it.

Obviously this isn't definitive, but I left my SSC black shirt on Hellboy for several weeks to no effect at all.

That's why I hate those rubber bodies. Might as well buy a statue.

You should be able to achieve this pose:

Whether or not you should...I don't know.

And in regards to Hellboy's size, he's not that big in the movie and the figure stands about as tall as most HT figures. I don't see the problem there.

This pose seems viable too:

I guess you could just buy a statue...

cheers guys. after batman joker and iron im rather dissapointed in hellboy from hot toys. hmm dunno if ill keep him. i think after being on a cold van for many hours his arms didnt want to move. they seem better now after they have heated up to my room temperature but still they are a pain to move

My HT Hellboy just arrived!

What can I say? Hot Toys have made another incredible figure, absolutely amazing.

For anyone in the UK Play.com still has him in stock at £135.00, which is the best price I managed to find.

Had mine on order originally with Play.com as well as Abe but got them for £125 each (including delivery) from Hong Kong (Ebay Shop goodshipped - contact Leo. Only took 5 days to arrive here in UK from time of payment Pay Pal, Very nice guy, well packaged, I'd use them again!)

Also, got them two weeks ago!:chew

Both the Samariton and Big Baby guns just pull open. Just be VERY gentle! They are a tight fit, don't force anything and work with hinges. Don't twist the plastic or there will be tears before bedtime!

I finally have a crude transfer to a regular Truetype in process. It's really fun to be able to pose the hell out of HB. If and when I get my hard drive back from the PC voodoo priest I will post pics.

 

[Reinhardt]

Look forward to pics YoNoSe!

Hopefully soon! I took a bunch last night of him swinging the stone sword from SS Ultimate HB and with the Sammael maquette (which I highly recommend).
I've bulked up the chest and padded the arms. The biggest trouble has been finding a good way to secure the tail. Unfortunately he has no tail in my pics.

Play's packaging is awful. I have had damaged boxes in the past because of this, but they're very good at replacements. I haven't had problems with the body so far (touch wood). Just be firm but gentle (oo-er!).

The Smaritan just unclips like the big baby.

Leo's a star. Really reliable and a lovely guy to boot. That's a really good price as well. I wish I'd used him now but it was really an impulse buy from Play to be fair.

Still waiting for Abe to join my Hellboy, I managed to snag both for £107.99 each from FP.com when they had their Sale.

 

[Memnoch]

Argh! Just opened my Abe and lost his "glasses" already! Wonder if SS would be able to hook me up with a replacement because I really doubt I'll be able to find them.

You might have to contact Hot Toys for it.

Ugh.. if that's the case I'd just go without it.
