OK folks, I admit I didn't even know who Hellboy was until about 6 months ago, but now that I've seen the movie I've got some questions...

1. What is the name of the baad asss Nazi charater with the blades and different face-masks, changable hand?

2. Is there an action figure of said baad asss?

3. Is Liz Sherman, and Hellboy's infatuation with her "from the comic", or is that a "romance" made for the movie?

4. Where did Abe come from? They said in the movie he was found in a hospital with a name plate/card that was dated back to the 1800's, so he couldn't have come through when Hellboy did.... is he a gentic experiment? What?

That's all for now. But my take on the movie was that IT ROCKED! [img]cool.gif[/img]

I went into it with no preconceived ideas of what to expect, and I found it to be a very, very cool and enjoyable film. The effects were well done, the story was paced/moved quickly and Hellboy the character was AWESOME!!! I loved that he has a smart-ass, tough exterior, but inside is a "softy".

Anyhoo, any help answering those questions would be appreciated! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

I don't know anything about Hellboy, other than how he looks. Haven't seen the movie yet, or read any comics, but Pappette and I already want the toys. They look so friggin cool!

Glad to hear you liked the movie though. I can't wait to see it!

1. Kroenen

2. There are 2-
1 by Mezco & one outta Sideshow

3. I believe they're just good friends in the comic

4. That's kind of really all we know about Abe

Hellboy (and all the other BPRD comics) are some of the coolest reads out there.
I have a post with online comics somewhere on this board......
I'll se if the search thingy works and link em.

The Mez-Its version is in full Nazi gear.

The Mezco version is only in his black suit he wears.

Here are some pics of Kroenen with Blade's coat and Red Skull's hat.

the 8" mezco hellboy figures are out now? cause if so, I'm gonna have to get a hellboy. I saw the movie last night, and loved it. I'll probably pick up the little mez-itz too, if I can find them.

Great idea- if only I had a Red Skull and Blade now. I've been using Toy Biz jackets and coats left and right on other figures.

My coatless Hellboy's sporting Joe Fixit Hulk's black coat, matter of fact.

8'' Mezco line has been out, and the bad part is both Hellboys from the line are getting harder to find. There's the horned/battled damaged exclusive that's just came out, (killertoys has it), but expect to pay extra.

($15 each, only a few more bucks than the regular figures)

Damn, I'm gonna have to catch the flick soon....

While that version of the figure they made is cool, I can't believe they didn't make him in full get-up where he looks sooo baaad asss! Well, I guess I can believe it given the Nazi angle, but nobody has raised a fuss about Red Skull, and there are 12" "real" army figures that include Nazis no one complains about.... maybe if there is a second line they'll make that one.
