Rotocast Hellboy Figure

Rotocasting or “Rotational Casting” (the clue is in the name) is a fascinating technique by which the mold is spun in order to better coat the… oh sorry, I seem to have time-travelled back to science class. Let’s talk about the big red guy instead…

Hellboy, for those of you who don’t have a library stocked with comic books like I do, is a demon. I know you suspected, what with the horns and the cloven hooves, but I just wanted to put it on the record so we’re all clear. Of course he’s a good demon (some would say letting the side down) and works for the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense, an organization which doesn’t officially exist, much like the customer service centre of your local electronics retailer when that digital camera you just bought mysteriously stops working.

This figure is based on the animated series and thus feels more like his comic representation. It comes with his trademark enormously large gun and a rather fine looking hand-tailored coat, which provides some sartorial elegance while you hunt supernatural Nazi villains.
