Joshua's Collection

[JoshuaIzzo]

Hey all,

Since Mack did it, I thought I'd jump in. Here is the first batch of photos of my Hellboy Collection. This is what is currently in rotation. Packed away in the attic are all the HB1 Movie pieces from Sideshow and the Electric Tiki HB and Lobster Johnson statues. Hope you enjoy!

This is collection at home:

Oh nice collection Joshua! :biggrin:

What is the Rasputin piece at the end here, and where did you get it from? It's REALLy cool mate.

I recognized the conquorer worm page instantly (even without your note) but where does that other piece of original art come from (and how big is it)?

It is a beauty!!!

Damn fine collection, Joshua. Nothing to sneeze at. Thanks for sharing!

[Mikolaj]

I applaud both Yours and Mack's enormous colection! :) Don't mean to be picky but don't we allready have a thread to show off with the amazing HB things we own? Flaun it... We wouldn't want this forum to be infested with named threads of our collection, right? ;)

p.s.
That HB pin-up with the dedication from the period of the SoD... Damn. Damn. Damn. If I had such a gem - that would be THE legendary item for me. Crown of my collection.

You know, I had thought about merging the threads into the 'Flaunt It' (http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?t=170163) thread, but I think it'll be fine to have individual threads for folks wanting to share their MEGA collections.

If we end up having five of them floating at the top of the forum, then I will ask for it to be located in the one thread-- my feeling is that they will eventually rotate off the front page, in turn.

Great collection, Joshua!

I wish I had one of those John Thompson Third Wish Bells!

Aye, aye, Captain! ;)

Btw, Joshua... That HB pin-up, with NAMED DEDICATION from times circa SoD - Damn. damn. damn. If I had such that would be THE legendary item for me. Crawn of the collection!

[JoshuaIzzo]

Thanks for the kind words everyone! I had no idea I had what could be conisdered a 'Mega Collection'. I wish I had more room to showcase the rest of the goods.

As to the pin-up of HB. I have never, EVER been able to locate where this was originally run. Mikolaj - I knew it was from the SoD era, but have yet to pinpoint the origin.

It is, singularly, the nicest thing I own.

Pimpernel - that Rasputin casting is from a friend of mine. He sculpted it up and made me a cast. I have to paint it up, so it matches the rest of the Mezco line-up. Another buddy of mine is scratch-building and casting for me some BPRD agent figures and frog monster figures! How cool is that!?

Looks great!!! I'm all for seeing threads dedicated to people's collections... I'm just some lowly n00b though :tongue: :biggrin:

Not from where I sit!

I love both of these collections guys! Mine is just the serials, a couple trades and a figure here and there.

Bossman - I cut the horn off, etched in the lines and repainted to match.

Thanks!
