Dark Horse at Toy Fair 2008

[Maija]

I don't think there's anything Hellboy-related that we haven't seen before (maybe the giant Qee is new?) but there's some other neat/bizarre stuff:

(Like, what the hell is that flat Domo-kun thing for?)

Man, I love Toyfair.

NECA is knocking it out of the park this year, Transformers Animated is lovely, and the Cloverfield monster toy is looking great. The new HB stuff looks good, and the icing on the cake... Marvel's next build-a-figure is Fin Fang Frickin' Foom!

Sure do miss the Mezco Hellboy Animated line, tho'.

The Cloverfield monster is great...or would be if it was like $25.

It's priced at $99 which is just ridiculous.

Holy s**t, is that a Spider figure in with the busts, etc?

[Maija]

I don't think any of this is new either, but here's some Hellboy Animated from Gentle Giant (http://toyfair08.asmzine.com/gallery/gentle-giant/slides/IMG_0628.html), and HellboyII from Mezco (http://toyfair08.asmzine.com/gallery/mezco/slides/DSC03315.html). Click on the photos to see a few more.

I must say, Hellboy does indeed look kinda doofy when his top teeth are showing. :)

i gotta admit the liz figure looks pretty cool!;)

[THE REAL kirk]

Some cool stuff in there. But, dammit!, they blew it with that Ghost figure. She's not sporting her .45s?! The Rocketeer looks suspect but, hey, it's the Rocketeer so I'll be getting it. And at first I thought that was The Spirit but I think you are right, Eric, it is the Spider. Nice!

And what is that large Hellboy box behind the little PVC figure for? Obviously not for that little guy. It looks like nice packaging.

[gdeo]

that's the box for the Qee my friend!!:D

[THE REAL kirk]

Oh...cool. That makes much more sense. Thanks.

I'm thrilled they are doing the 3 1/4" Hellboy sets. Finally I'll be able to fit the entire BPRD in my cube at work :D

Hmmm...the Spider doesn't look like I pictured him though the alternate head appears closer. And the Rocketeer isn't quite right but still necessary. While I was excited about the 18" Hellboy for the new movie, he only has head resculpt and a new gun, the rest seams the same as the old one...I'll wait until he drops in price at Christmas.

And somebody tell me please that those keychains are just mock-ups and the real deal won't look like that!

The Hellboy bust is a winner but I'll pass on the RHoD.

The BPRD packpack is awesome. I know, I have one! It is the same one they had last go round. And TFAW was fire-saling them a while back for cheap!

I am excited to get the Liz and Johann figures; they look great.

Thanks for the links, Maija.

[DeadAsWarhol]

if those are the actual keychains they're terribly disappointing!

I picked up both of those backpacks off the Mezco store Warehouse for 12.50 each last year.

They still got em here (http://www.mezcotoyz.com/store/detail.aspx?ID=89). It's funny because I keep seeing them pop up on the bay and selling for 30 bucks or so each. Looks like they're just gonna stick a HB2 logo on em and likely raise the price.
