If you read my review you’ll know that I love the new Mezco Liz Sherman figure from the Hellboy II movie line, but I was less than impressed with her articulation. Bicep and thigh cuts are a must for me, so I snagged an extra Liz from TRU the other day and then set about butchering her up by cutting off her arms and legs and giving her some extra jointage. I dremelled in wells in her shoulders and thigh into which I plugged screws that I put in the opposite end of the limb to act as a peg. Although things are off a little bit, it turned out remarkably well and… well, it actually worked! Expand for more pics. …read full article…

Well, it’s time. The big one hit theatres today and I figure we’re gonna need a place to discuss the sheer awesomeness of The Dark Knight in all its Batman vs. The Joker vs. Harvey Dent vs. Two-Face vs. The Ghost of Katie Holmes awesomeness. In a summer chock full of superhero movie awesomeness, this is really probably the one to stand triumphant above all the rest. I say, bring it on.

TNI has promo pics up from the second series of figures from Mezco’s movie line for Hellboy II: The Golden Army. We’ll be getting a coatless Hellboy, a wounded Hellboy, Princess Nuala, the legless Goblin guy, and the freaky looking Angel of Death. These figs all look pretty great, but I have reservations about the articulation. Fewer statues, more superposeable figs, Mezco! Also, sadly, these aren’t due out until November, which is too long of a wait if you ask me. Anyways, check the pics here.

This is an old Hellboy figure made by Graphitti Designs that came out in the early 2000s. He’s pretty neat. Has a cloth coat, swappable hands to hold either his gun on his sword, and quite a few POAs. Pretty nifty. It’s not a figure i would have gone after ordinarily; I got him loose in a trade with some other stuff. But now that I have him in hand, I really dig him. Thanks Poe_Ghostal!

I’ve installed a simple bulletin board at http://forum.superarticulated.com.
If you guys are bored and you want to register and play around with it and see if you can break it, that’d be cool. I’ll put more time into it later (when I have time) but for now I figured I’d just throw it up there and let you guys help me figure out if it works or not.
Thanks!

I know, my Hellboy obsession is getting a bit ridiculous. But I can’t help it. These toys are just all too awesome and I just can’t stop playing with them (and buying more and more of them… ). I geeked out this evening and took some silly “candlelight” pics of my favorite figs. I figured I’d share ‘em with you guys. Expand to see them all. …read full article…

I guess now is a good time for a sightings post since we’re experiencing some kind of a “perfect storm” of action figure releases at retail. You know about the new Hellboy figures, obviously, but what else is out there? Expand the post to find out! …read full article…

I’ve gone buck wild with the Hellboy toys of late… You can see my reviews of some of the older figs from the first movie line here.
And I’ve also picked up the animated Hellboy figs from Gentle Giant and reviewed them here.
And what’s in the mail for next week? That’s right. Comic Hellboy figures…
I have the sickness…

Our good friend Wes, the owner, proprietor, and witty progenitor of pop-culture megazone Scary-Crayon.com has come through for us with a guest review of that neato-looking superarticulated lion from the Chronicles of Narnia toy line. I’ve eyed this thing in the toy aisle many a time, wondering with what figures I might stick it (a beast to train for Kraven, perhaps?), but I’ve always passed it by. Now that I’ve seen Wes’ review, I’m gonna have to pick one up. Expand to post to see what Wes has to say! …read full article…

The new Hellboy II: The Golden Army movie opens today and I figured we’d need a place to talk about the presumed awesomeness of it. I know most of you guys are Marvel or DC nuts, but hopefully there’s a contingent of you who even if you’re not terribly familiar with the comics can appreciate what Perlman brings to the Hellboy character and how much fun Del Toro seems to be having directing this franchise. Hellboy FTW!
