That’s BPRD to you! (Best Plastic Rad Dolls!)Owe it to visionary director Guillermo del Toro to give justice and credence to Mike Mignola’s hellishly creative Hellboy series. From the comic books jumping into the big screen, all the fun, quirky characters are given the ‘loyal’ treatment and this time in the sequel, Hellboy 2: The Golden Army, Hellboy gets to drag half of his pals back into Hollywood! No, I’m not talking about adding 2 or 4 more of those human blue-suit-cannon fodder agents – here the cream of the crop BPRD (Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense) heroes really get into the fold. Well, ok, it’s just that ectoplasmic medium Johann Kraus who got added, as Abe and Liz Sherman reprise their roles once again. Adding in most of the BPRD heroes from the comics in this sequel would be too much to handle.
Anyway, as part of having the movie sequel released, Mezco‘s got their 7-inch toys out! Here are images and excerpts from their site:
