I preordered it a while back and it arrived today...

This is my first SST product so I am not aware of its quality, and I'm sorta torn between liking it and it being less than worth my money...

Good points is that the overall look is pretty good, the coat isn't as plain as it was in the promo pics...but I liked Hellboy with his coat off...

Also, he has a pretty cool sneer and the right stone hand and Samaritan revolver are nicely sculpted. The clothing is top notch, and the belt and accessories there are awesome...lots of details...

The bad....the stupid joints are loose as hell (haha)...not so loose that I can't pose him, but that they're loose enough to not keep a pose like raising his arms up or he'd fall because of the weak hip joints...

The tail was a pain to put in...had to take the coat off and pull his pants down to put it on... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Anyways, here's pics:

It's pretty cool...there is a ton of details on him, my pics are kinda crappy since I'm taking it at night with little light on...

If you're gonna get him to display, he's great...unless the price will drive you away, he costs 40 bucks on average, maybe a little less if you are lucky...

Update: HB's Samaritan revolver opens up at the chamber and has 4 individual rounds inside! I was disappointed before by Sideshow's weapons for their Six Gun Legends and their lack of detail, but they didn't skimp on Hellboy [img]smile.gif[/img]

Here is a pic to show this, plus a size comparison with a Colt Python and Anaconda...

He looks pretty cool to me, maybe a bit glossy, but that might just be the flash. It's very cool that the bullets are individual. That they weren't was my only beef with the 18" figs.

gun seems a little small

Hmmm....I guess it is, I never really noticed how big it was in the movie...still pretty oversized for a revolver...

Here's some more pics...

A comparison pic with my other 12" figures...Hellboy seems to be 12" or so while the others are slightly in the 11" range...so it's cool seeing as how HB's a big guy

hmmmm, I question getting it, I wanna get all the Hellboy crap [img]wink.gif[/img] but I just dont know....

wow, I'd have expected the 18" one to have a detailed gun like the 12" one, since it's a bigger scale and all...these details make the purchase much more worth it...

I'll snap some pics of HB with his coat on...

Cool, Sideshow RULE!!! The loose joints thing with sideshow is kinda hit or miss. some are loose, some are not. They could improve them a bit, but really, I don't care, Sideshow are bad freakin' ass! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Whoa...e-bong? Did it come with all the hardware? Or just the cabinet/rack?
May 9th, 2004, 04:08 AM
The Cheshire Cat

Nah, just the rack...I got the one in the middle for free from someone on another forum, and the two by the sides I bought for 20...I had a ton of guns, but nowhere to display them so I just went ahead and bought 2...I'm gonna be getting a clear display case for my pistols made from acrylic from the same guy, trading him some stuff for it...

well you do have a swet rack [img]wink.gif[/img]

is the dool (errr, figure [img]wink.gif[/img] ) that glossy? or is that just the pics? and he looks like a darker red than I thought

The Cheshire Cat

Yeah they're really good, Hellboy's becoming one of my favs...just hate his loose joints, and it's hard to transplant his body onto another because, well, he's got red skin, a tail and a huge stone right hand [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Anyways, here are a couple of pics of him with jacket....I'm out for the night...

I am so glad I am not getting into Hellboy!

I would be hurting in the wallet so bad!
