AFter you guys gushed on and on about the figures I couldn't resist. Picked up the only Hellboy they had left. Open mouth version. Almost got Liz but she just isn't cool enough. They had a few of her anyway so I can go back. No Johann at all. And about 20 Winks or so.
Out of package Hellboy plain rocks. I don't know how anyone can be into 1:18 scale figures and not own this figure. I do wish his might fist had an elbow joint but it isn't like they skimped anywere else. His tail has three PoA.
The coat is really nice. Very soft felxable rubber that had me worried it would rip at first. After playing with it I'm postiive it will be fine especially since the jacket held bunched up behind his holster all night all by itself. Because his Smaritan pistol is rubbery I was able to get it to break open like a reall revolver. Totally unintentional but still kind of neat. Also I was little upset they had done sucha great job with making him look cool and giving him articulation and not inlcuding ankle swivel. Then I saw the pin in the bakc of his foot. So he has the up and down in the ankle and then a rolling ankle in his foot which is a neat way to do that particular body movement. It feels like a stronger joint anyway.
The only negative I have at all is that his hip swivel doesn't stay straight. It makes me think that is why the Joe designers left that PoA out of the 25th figures for so long. While palying with him, every once and a while his abs would slowly start shifting off to the left. Otherwise I'd give this guy 10 out of 10.
