If you guys read my review of Mezco’s Comic Book Hellboy, you know what a kickass vinyl figure he is. Mezco has just announced a variant, featuring Hellboy in a black BPRD shirt. Looks like this one also has a completely closed mouth instead of gritted teeth, and I’m starting to wonder if people will mix and match heads like they did when the first movie Hellboy figures with all the open and closed mouth variants came out. We just need a variant open Right Hand of Doom to make the experience complete!
The original Comic Book Hellboy was available at San Diego Comic-Con and is backordered at Mezco Direct, but I haven’t found a listing for this guy yet. Will update when I do.

Mez-Itz Comic Hellboy Variant
Mezco’s beloved Mez-Itz return in a larger six inch form. These newly resized creations are the hot new item in the world of designer vinyl for 2009. Based on the artwork of Mike Mignola, this limited edition Hellboy Mez-Itz captures the essence of the comic book Hellboy from his sawed-off horns to his posable tail. Standing six inches tall, with six points of articulation, this limited edition variant figures comes complete with Hellboy’s legendary gun, the Samaritan, and features the famous BPRD (Bureau Of Paranormal Research And Defense) logo on his shirt.
Mezco Mez-Itz He-Man and Skeletor Customs by Airmax and SpyMagician
In their original incarnation, Mezco Mez-Itz were 3-inch mini-figures they produced for their licensed properties, like Aliens and Dick Tracy, and some original creations, like Pirate Mez-Itz. I know I have some of the older Hellboy and Predator Mez-Itz around here somewhere – most likely they’ve been gobbled up in my wife’s growing collection of designer figures.
To promote the launch of the new Mez-Itz, Mezco invited customizers and designers from the toy industry to make some customized Mez-Itz. Their creations were collected into an art show and also shown at San Diego Comic-Con. In addition to the He-Man by Airmax and Skeletor by SpyMagician (shown above), be on the lookout for entries from Iron Cow, Joshua Izzo, Eddie Wires and more.
Mezco Mez-Itz - Comic Book Hellboy will shoot you in the face!
You know what? I wanted to take some pictures of the Mezco Mez-Itz Comic Book Hellboy that’s exclusive to San Diego Comic-Con and their online store because I thought it would be a simple review. After all, it’s a vinyl figure, right? With vinyl, you plunk them down on a shelf, you dust them off once in a while, and that’s about it.
Not so with this guy. As you’ll see, there’s more to this figure than you might be expecting. I was certainly surprised.
