I'm spewing that I missed out on those two back in the day.
I have the complete first wave of the 7" Mezco figures from HBII.. but just not the same.
That said, the 'Wink' & 'Krauss' figures are simply superb.
Man.. I got both of mine brand new. Hellboys belt and pants peel and abe's wetsuit flakes. How did yours come out of the box and stay in condition so well?
Sad to hear that man! Pretty sure its mostly influenced by the surrounding conditions thay're displayed in. Much UV-light (actually much light in general as also the visible parts of the light can damage materials over the time), very moist or very dry air, temperatures and after all the handling of figures will have influence on that.
The sad thing is that in the end, sooner or later everything dissolves but specially some of the rubber materials on 1/6 figures are or very fragile, specially on th earlier figures.
Yea. Hellboy's knees are fine, but the pants are just starting to rip! Especially the inner groin area due to the stand hook. As for Abe shoulder sleeve is cracking up a little. Great figures. Wish they were mint condition and no sad parts though.
I haven't noticed any cracking or flaking on mine. Gonna check later and see. Our basement stays a cool 60 degrees, even during the summertime.

Same here. Boy, would I love this pair. Another great Hellboy figure is the Dam Toys version. It doesn't get much attention but it's excellent and comes with three sculpts.
