So what's the verdict on these? Boss Fight Studio or McFarlane?
>>11858217seems obvious to me. boss fight. never start buying mcfarlanes. you'll start settling for less and less and now even pay more and more.
>>11858217You're gonna get more bang for your buck with Mignola style from Boss Fight.
>>11858217the boss fight looks very close to the art but their track record is not good, I've really never seen anyone say anything positive about their figuresI have it preordered but I expect the 1000toys one is still the way to go
>>11858335Yep, my worry is their joint tolerances when even in that review the right arm joint is already getting loose from swapping it out to put on the trenchcoat. Really wish they'd get their QC together because their figures look amazing.
>>118582171000toys
>>11858423Nothing against it, but I left it out because it's already come and gone for a while.
>>11858431I prefer the ones that look like Ron Perlman.
>>11858431I saw someone with really bad laint applications on the chest hair and flaking on the rubber tail on the mcfarlane..i dont knoe how common it is but I don't like how it looks compared to boss fight.
I preordered this guy because I love Masters of the Universe Origins/Vintage styled toys. But I still have a few of my old comic Mezco Hellboy toys which I love.
>>11858503>Masters of the Universe Origins/Vintage styled toysI was tempted for that exact reason.
>>11858217I wish either one came with a left big arm just for fun
>>11858217Seems pretty open and shut that it's Boss Fight:-More accurate sculpt.-Matt (non-shiny) plastic.-Less awkward looking chest joint.-Obviously ignoring the shadow paint job because this is the only comparison photo we have but the normal version doesn't have it (and you get this exclusive for the people that do prefer it).-MF has MF joints, while I think so far the two early reviews I've seen say the Boss Fight joints moves quite well.Like with a lot of figures, it'll just come down to do you want the low cost version or will you spend more for the more accurate looking one.
>>11858752Yeah I couldn't find a comparison with the normal version since no one seems to have both so far, but this is a pretty fair assessment.
>>11858355I was hoping when that GI Joe guy left to work for them things would improve, but hes probably just doing sculpting or something.
>>11858431I usually don't like the cel shaded type of look but it works here in this photo. I had to zoom on to make sure it wasn't a collage.
>>11859645I think its the best cel shading I've ever seen on a figure. It probably helps that the art itself is colored so simply, its easier to emulate than most comic figures that attempt it.
>>11858752The Boss Fight ones look like the old Mezco line which was the GOAT even with limited articulation.
>>11858217Cel-shaded or not, the Boss Fight just looks dead-on accurate but the McFarlane has its own appeal looking like a generic version sort of like the ML equivalent with the cheaper price and stone texture on the skin.
>>11858503Really curious if the Add-on set for the bigger BFS figure which has a jacket, alt hands, and alt heads can also fit the Immortal Champions version
>>11858431>>11858423>>11858217is he really that good? i was thinking about buying it even with the aftermarket and i was wondering if its like a must have
I NEED a Hellboy: Asylum Seeker on the PSX styled figure
>>11863213honestly, yeah, other than the ankle joints being red instead of brown I don’t feel like it has any flaws, I’m not sure what it goes for now but I don’t regret paying retail for it
>>11863311170eurbasically 1.5x the og price
God I hope they do a Johann
I wouldn't say it's anything special but for what it is and the price? It's pretty neat, what can i say. The fabric is suprisingly soft too.(Why is this site such a bitch when it comes to flipping photos horizontally)
>>118582170/10 if the jacket is not included with the damn figure
>>11863307Look into the Big Blast Hellboy then. Looks spot onto the model. Just be forewarned that he stands at 9 inches tall.
Just realized the earlier pic was mirrored.
>>118582171000T
>>11863307I got the game signed by Mignola. He gave me a funny look.
>>11867262Why is that?
I got the 18 inch Hellboy figure. Sadly the Hand of Doom broke and I had to jury rig it back on.>>11866651>>11866640That was by Graphitti Designs, right? I remember getting it before even the Mezco comic and movie ones came out.
>>11867268Might have been more that I had a ton of covers and stuff for him to sign. Then again I think I saw some people in line with bigger stacks. Also that the game was a critical and financial failure.
just found an old pic of my Roger figure
Also, somewhat related, a pic of my Mignola Batman Black and White statue.
>>11867634The very same! I wish I'd bought one when they were still cheap. Despite how primitive it is by modern standards it has alot of prescence. Of the modern options I'd say the boss fight stuff is the best bang for your buck, mcfarlane's is alright but something looks off proportionally to my eye, but none of them hold a candle to mezco's efforts from back in the day.
I know we got the one mecha hellboy toy a few years back but I wonder if boss fight will bother making pic related.>>11867646There's a sight for sore eyes.
>>11867649I think I am gonna get the mcfarlane as well as boss fight just to have one from just about every company.
>>11867659Sounds like a plan to me. Some characters merit that effort. I've got four Iron Giants in my collection from different companies because I never had any of the toys as a kid. Y'know part of me wonders if Hellboy kiddy line would do numbers. If Batman, Ninja Turtles, and Spiderman still have strong enough legs for it after all these years why not try as much with big red?
>>11863213>>11863419i regret not getting a bootleg like 7 years ago... i love this big hand with articulation
>>11869074I hope you find one anon.
Wishing all hellboy enjoyers a future filled with quality figures
>>11858217The Boss Fight one does look good, but it relies on the paint to achieve the Mignola style, the McFarlane is actually sculpted that way. Also not having the shading means that it doesn't have backed in lighting on the figure all the time. But the biggest thing that goes in the McFarlane's favour, is not just that the base figure is cheaper, but it actually comes with the coat and doesn't stick in an accessory pack that inflates the price.The McFarlane might not be as "premium" but at least you get a complete figure. McFarlane wins.
>>11869563the coat look like shit
>>11869074I owned the bootleg and the official and the bootleg is not good at all compared to today's bootleg standards like the knock-off Mafex stuff. Definitely worth dropping money on the official one. The bootleg had the bonus parts though, so that was nice.
>>11869088It's honestly one of my fav figures I own
>>11869816>It's honestly one of my fav figures I ownsame
>>11869805>Definitely worth dropping money on the official one.I am a third worlder. I can't find one, and even if i could, i would have that type of money for a figure.
We need to address the elephant in the room... what about the mezco movie figures?
>>11870410They've aged well, but the few short comings they have are hard to ignore. Case in point the figure's perfectly articulated but the arm with the right hand of doom has no elbow.
>>11870410Wish i had the johann kraus from that line, i'm quite fond of his movie appearance compared to the comic one.
Looked up bigbadtorystore for something to buy and what the fuck is this...?
>>11871700>what the fuck is this...?People like mecha.
Was searching some marketplaces and i found this guyHonestly, even with the limited articulation, i think it's really nice. The sculpts and painting is very impressive for the time it was released
>>11874703Of course comparison with >>11866360Since it's very obvious i made it in the same room and the exact same spot, ha
