It took a while to find one, but I finally got a good deal on ebay for the original Mezco Hellboy figure released in 2005. Though 2005 isn't that long ago, these figures are pretty hard to find at less than $40/each. I got him for $25 with a broken tail. A little super glue and we were back in business!
The great thing about this line of figures is that Mezco managed to capture Mike Mignola's very distinct (and amazing) artwork in a 3d format. The hard lines, the texture, the shadows...it's an amazing likeness to the artwork!
Check out the sculpted detail on his face, horns, and skin. Those pock marks all over him are pencil/pen marks in the comic books. It gives Mignola's artwork a great texture.
Below is a picture of the Hand of Doom itself. Hellboy was supposed to use this hand to release the dragon, Ogdru Jahad, from it's prison in space and lead the army's of hell to conquer the Earth. Luckily HB was raised in America and raised on pancakes, so all he wants to do is smoke his cigar and have a good time.
I like to end my posts with an interview between my newest figure and talk show legend, Space Ghost. This time I couldn't choose which of Space Ghost's questions/comments to use, so I'm posting them both.
