Hellboy Rasputin & Hellbaby Action Figures Previews Exclusive

The baby Hellboy is the reason you should buy this set. He is simply awesome. His has ball-jointed shoulders, ball-jointed neck, and his stone fist rotates. He also stands up perfectly on his own. His cloven feet are a nice touch.As far as educational value, Hellboy is the ultimate tale of nuture over nature. Born bad? There is no such thing in the Hellboy tale.It doesn't seem baby Hellboy will appear in series 2 at all. You won't regret buying this one (Rasputin is great too, the apparatus on his hand is removable and he is well articulated and painted). When you compare the Mezco Hellboy line with the hundreds of dollars you could spend elsewhere on "collectible" Hellboy stuff the Mezco stuff is even more amazing.

I would have loved to find a bigger hell baby

A classic hellboy figure set!

Yeah, baby Hellboy is a cute widdle creature. Aw[...] Wookit his widdle cloven hooves, and his cute widdle baby horns, and how tiny and ruby-red he is, awww, what a cutie, and snoogums likes Baby Ruth bars---awwww----c'mere, cutie, let Daddy...[BAPPPPP!]OWWWW! Yeah, and he's got a big Right Hand of Doom, too. Shudda seen that one coming. Rough right hook or not, though, could you really hoist that Thompson and spray the grey right out of a baby Hellboy? Neither could I, and neither could the Squad of Allied G.I. Joes that rescued him from the ruins of Project Ragnarok. Mezco Toys rules the day: Baby Hellboy is a slick, sleek little figure, right down to his glistening red runic skin and ball-jointed Hand of Doom.But let's talk a little about the other figure in this offering, Russia's Mad Monk: Father Grigory Rasputin, meant to be the main attraction but perpetually confined to sideshow status because of the little red Imp.Rasputin showed up a wild-eyed visionary in St. Petersburg at the dawn of the new century, became a confidant of the Romanov Empress Alexandra, insinuated himself into the Royal family and the corridors of Imperial power after "miraculously" curing Prince Alexi of his hemophilia, and inevitably attracted enemies. A group of these invited him to a party in 1916: Rasputin was poisoned with cyanide, shot in the heart, stabbed, castrated, beaten with chains, and finally---still alive!---trussed and hurled into a frozen canal.The guy just doesn't have time for the pain, because by 1944 he was helming up Project Ragnarok, kitted up with his own version of the Right Hand of Doom, ready to tear a rent from this world into the next and unleash the slumbering Elder Gods of the Ogdru-Jahad into a trembling world. This figure captures Rasputin, with removable necromantic glove, at the very height of his powers in 1944, and it's a doozy: the lovingly rendered mandarin-red cloak with gold filigree provides a nice contrast with the crazed, saturnine face of the mad Russian ascetic.Both figures are beautifully sculpted and painted, and boast ample articulation. Whatever your stance on gating in Demons from Hell, this invaluable little two-pack should pack a whallop to your growing Hellboy arsenal. Give the boys a hand!

On October 9, 1944, during a battle between Allied troops and Nazi scientists trying to open a portal to Hell and the baby Hellboy came through from the other side, as naked as a newborn babe dragging along the Right Hand of Doom. You can get the full-grown Hellboy 8" action figure from Mezco Toyz, but he is not as cute as this baby Hellboy, with his curly red tail and tiny little horns.But not only do you get the baby Hellboy figure, there is a Rasputin bonus figure, who also comes with his magic glove that he used to open the portal. Unlike the other characters in the 1st Series of "Hellboy" figures, Rasputin is dressed in his 1944 garb, which consists of his crazy red robe with all that golden detailing and the high fur collar while Hellboy, Abe Sapien, and Rasputin's sidekick Kornen, all have the modern look. Rasputin does look a little bit like the Mad Monk that undermined the rule of the Romanov's, but historical fidelity is not what is important here.All things you have to admit that the Rasputin figure is probably the most impressive bonus figure you have seen to date. The baby Hellboy is worth the full price, so throwing in Rasputin just sweetens the deal.
