Hot Toys HBII Hellboy and Abe Sapien 12-inch Figures

[Sachiel]

No, there is a metal frame underneath. Someone posted an image of what's inside, but I can't find it. It was at One Sixth Warriors.

 

[YoNoSe]

Ah, okay.
Still, I'll take it without complaint.

 

[King Darkness]

Because 1/6th collectors are a bunch of whiney complainers. They'd rather let HT take the heat.

Or, more logically Sideshow knew Hot Toys was more capable of producing these figures.

 

[YoNoSe]

A little disappointing that they're starting with characters we already have. I'd have loved to see them launch with Nuada or Rasputin.

Looks like Big Red's on a rubber body - no one have a problem with that?

I don't think we're all whiny complainers, but so far you sure don't seem happy.
I love my SSC figures in general, but just from what's been shown it's a clear improvement. Hellboy had serious issues.

 

[icruise]

In one of the images you can see the swirls on his shoulder...

I know, I saw it. That's my point -- they are there, so that means it's probably a rubber body.

 

[KBA]

Man that SSC Hellboy looks gross.

 

[icruise]

The cigar version was MUCH better, but it still had serious issues with the body and outfit.

Hot Toys will never take as much heat as Sideshow when it comes to 1:6... because they blow them out of the water in quality, engineering and attention to detail. Sorry, that's just how it is. And you know what? Many at Sideshow themselves would agree.

The question shouldn't be "Why is Hot Toys doing these instead of Sideshow"... it should be Why doesn't Hot Toys just do all of the 1:6 figures that Sideshow offers?

 

[YoNoSe]

Those are the best shots I've ever seen of Cigar Hellboy, is he yours, icruise?
You're right it's a much better head all around.

 

[wookster]

Trust me, nearly 5 years ago for $40 even with his big'ol shiney head he was pretty much state of the art, a pretty good figure for his day... sadly'tis no longer his day.

He was before I sold him a couple of months ago in anticipation of the Hot Toys figure.

 

[YoNoSe]

Honestly, the only really great thing about that figure was the Samaritan IMO. Even considering the time period and price. $40 was expensive back then!
Mezco's 18" roto figure buried the SSC figure in every single way and even their stylized 9" sports a much better coat.

Cigar version was always the best, the head wasn't nearly as shiney as the satndard. The SDCC exc was pretty cute too, I like the stick on horns.

 

[The Ween]

These will be mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO! MINE!!!!!!!

Well at least you have nice pics to remember him by.
I think it's the teeth deco on the regular that makes it look so awful. The cigar head isn't perfect but looks much, much better.

 

[Elder_Predator2]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Buttmunch]

Makes me really sad I passed on him originally

 

[darthCipan]

From the image, I think the body for Hellboy will be ruberized, just like Rambo's. Way cool Hot Toys!

 

[galactiboy]

I sold my 666 Hellboy a few months ago as well in anticipation of this figure. Since Sideshow had the license I figure either they or HT would make an improved version.

 

[vanhelsing]

i must buy it,it is so good!
