God, I'd love to own one of those...

It's a great statue, but it's a little crude in comparison to what Randy is putting out nowadays. You can really tell how far he's come as a sculptor between then and now. I believe this came out in the 90's?

I'd LOVE to see what he can come up with for a NEW Hellboy FS!

Congrats and Happy Birthday!
I'm still kicking myself for selling mine years ago. One of these days I'm aiming to get another one.

Big congrats! I couldn't agree more, one of my fav statues, period, from the dynamic pose to the slime and all the other great details. Happy B-Day as well!

CRUDE? fair enough.... i thought he captured mignola's art perfectly. This is one of my grails. If its crude the only reason being is mignola's art is crude... have i said "crude" enough? :mistrust: haha but if he does make another Hellboy as good as this (or better, hopefully) than i will be a very happy camper!

By the way im new here so hello fellow Bowen fans! :)

i like the slime either, like you:) and the pose is very dynamic.
i hope someday Randy would make another Hellboy statue. maybe movie version

Congrats! I've been collecting Bowen for a long time and I can't honestly say I've ever seen this statue! Do you mind sharing how much you paid? What production number did you get? Man, it looks awesome! The only Hellboy piece I own is Bowen's museum pose bust and I love it.

As for birthdays, I just received my present as well! I bought myself the chrome version of the Ultron bust. I can't believe my good fortune to have acquired #9 of 500!

I've always liked this statue. I've been tempted to try and buy it on numerous occassions.

You latched on to only one word in my post instead of reading the whole thing. No biggie. Let me clarify. Randy has grown as an artist and sculptor and I can see where he would tighten up the sculpt in a few spots. Mostly in the detail work, the coat, etc.

Also, Mignola's work is not crude. If you study it, it's VERY tight. Every line and shadow has a purpose and a reason for being there. There are absolutely NO unnecessary lines anywhere. That's what makes it's simplicity so deceptive.

Make no mistake. I'm still a huge fan of this piece. I just wish to see a new Hellboy FS sometime in the future. Preferably the NEAR future!

AMEN brother ;)

Thanks, RH. Very interesting. I remember one detail on the bust I own from Bowen, There is a very visible thumb or finger print actually worked into the bust itself. I don't find this crude, as someone else mentioned about another piece, but I really like seeing it as part of the sculpt. Anybody else have a finger print?

[hangedman]

Can anyone link me a place where i can buy this Masterpiece???
