Just saw this over at the Mezco boards...
As reported by: Fallen toy demi-god Mike Drake reporting
from Toy Fair 2005.
HELLBOY COMIC FIGURES: These are the clear winners for
Mezco this year. Mez and his team have once again
worked their magic and created figures that have
seemingly climbed from the pages of the Hellboy
comics. Hellboy is magnificently done, Lobster Johnson
is a delight, Liz Sherman is sure to please fanboys
and comes with some cleverly sculpted translucent
flames that will make Todd rethink what he did with
the flames on his dragons. Mecha Ape is the fourth
figure in the group and will offer crossover appeal to
gorilla enthusiasts. Mezco has shown foresight rare
with some companies and Hellboy's tiny legs and more
than study enough to support his bulky torso for years
to come. Also, all the figures sport the level of
articulation we were spoiled with by the movie
figures. Any retailer who doesn't carry this line is a
fool. We've seen how popular the movie Hellboy figures
were/ are. These are going to do just as well if not
better. I pray the line continues so we can get a
Baba Yaga and homunculus.

Not overly suprising, there are no pics yet... :(
