Hellboy Animated: Tiny Giants

September 24, 2006

Tiny Giants

Feast or Famine when it comes to updates, huh?. Enjoy the feast for what it's worth. Now go to Gentle Giant ltd. to learn more about the Hellboy Animated line of "Bust-ups" and the amazing work this place does.

What excites me about these figures is not just how detailed they are, especially Hellboy vs. the Bat-god, but that they are so affordable. They're only around six American dollars. Yes, they're tiny but really well done. The skeleton is something you get a piece at a time as you buy the other figures.

Gentle Giant is also known for their scanning facilities. In fact, Doug Jones was scanned by them the day after he did his ADR with us. They also do giant sculptures for conventions; their Ray Harryhausen Medusa made a big splash at San Diego Comic Con. They'll also be putting out a Hellboy action figure which was on display at San Diego too. The company is packed with talented artists and a joy to work with.

I have no clue on when these guys will be available. I'm sure the info will be on their website if it isn't already. Meanwhile, send me your t-shirt photos! -- Tad

haha...well i guess you did see the toys huh? I mentioned them in teh previous post. BUT i think the ones i saw were actual figures because they had joint and were much better painted. And hellboy had a gun pointed...doesnt seem to be there...They still look great though....definetely want the bat one.

and seeing as it says the big one is displayed at 150% actual size im guessing i was wrong about 'figures' coming out.
Dang these are going to be tiny...Maybe Ill get the PVC set instead....

The Bust-ups in that photo are actual size. I believe the HB action figure will be seven inches tall.

I really like he Hellboy and Abe busts. I think those are going to have to crowd onto my overflowing shelf. I like how Abe's is a bit off cilter.

Thanks for the heads up Nomad!

wow!!! Thanks for posting those nomad and I agree with Kirk 100%...I hope they are no where near as pricey as the statues though...
And yet again...We have to wait an eternity
before we can see these in our local comic stores...;(
