Hellboy 18inch

Hellboy, a comic character created by Mike Mignola. He is demon who fights for the U.S government and himself against dark forces.

His right hand, name as “Right Hand of Doom”, a huge stone like red arm, its large size causes Hellboy has to refer to his left arm to operate weapons and devices

The first day I know about Hellboy, is the 18inch collection by Mezco toys, by the year 2004, from what I know, it comes with 3 difference design, opened mouth, closed mouth and battle damaged horn version.

Movie 18 inch Hellboy, play by Ron Perlman. Figure comes with his signature weapon, Samaritan. My personal opinion, SUPERB. Huge, realistic facial expressions, stylish body pose, cool….

An exclusive product by Mezco for Tower Records, stand around 18 inch, including the horns, 20 inch, at least. Basically the material and accessory is the same with the previous version, but off course, obviously it’s come with a pair of huge horn and a battle damaged torn jacket.

Both version of Hellboy comes with the removable t-shirt and jacket, one more thing, the jacket that our Mr.Hellboy wearing is made by pvc, so it has leather looks alike, shine…

As a collector, no doubts, I have the both version of Hellboy, about design and workmanship, no comment, but there is one tiny little problem that every 18inch Hellboy owner with face, the knee. Due to the weight of the figure, the knee joints start to show some gaps after sometime, it make the figure losing it’s balance, finally, our the great Hellboy fall……

My solution is simple, super glue, ha…Off course it makes the figure loose it flexibility to pose, but the hero is able to maintain it strength and stability

4 years later, Mezco announced 18 inch Hellboy 2, as a hardcore Hellboy collector, how can miss the item, again, it comes with 3 difference design, opened and closed mouth, an limited of cigar version

This time, figure come with Samaritan, cloth jacket and the Big Baby. Mezco has overcome the knee problem like the previous version, it stand straight, stable. Last version, his right arm, is holding the fist, this time, he open his right arm to allow the Big Baby to place on it. No much comment I can give for it, if 10 is the full points for it, I will rank it 9. Another 1 is due to he’s left arm. Suppose that it use to hold the Samaritan and Big Baby, unfortunately, his fingers hold to firm, it can be open to place gun on it, I can said impossible to put on it.

After all, I found a solution, hair blower. I used a hair blower to blow on his left arm, said about a minute, then slowly open its thumb to have more gabs to hold his favorite weapon.

Its hold well on it, but when you try to pose his left arm open, our hero finally falls.

Most of my friends and customer like the cigar version, but for me, open mouth is my cup of tea. Why? Simple, my Hellboy is unclothes, its look cool and stylish when his open mouth

Half year later, Mezco announce to manufacture a worldwide 500pcs limited production 18 inch wounded Hellboy…

Personal view, a fusion or Hellboy Series 1 and 2

Reason - Series 2 body, series 1 right arm

Overall, it looks cool, especially the paint job on the bandage, red but not bright red, kind of brownish, it looks realistic. Furthermore, that have the bloodied spear tip from Prince Nauda’s spear still protruding out of his chest

This time, the Big Baby is absent, just come with the Samaritan, in other circumstances, its make sense, because in the movie, Hellboy didn’t hold the Big Baby while he is injured, right?

Same problem, the left arms too firm, blower again to fix the problem, after all, both items come from the same mould.

Rm270 for such a limited, details, huge and stylish figure, where can you find it?

No complain……
