Hellboy will always look this good

Ron Perlman’s take on big red is one of the great on-screen superheroes – Hellboy fits him like a glove. But in comics, Hellboy’s form is a lot more malleable under the pen of creator Mike Mignola, who brings an expressionist approach to the hero. Sometimes he’s a hulking beast, other times he’s downright willowy, as in this haunting MOC from builderĀ Jin Chen. Jin faithfully captures Mignola’s dramatic pose and Hellboy’s chiseled body. Excellent photography uses shadows to fill in detail, in Mignola fashion.

Jin had applied his LEGO artistry to Hellboy before with this smiling bust of the big guy.

A hell of a good character

Hellboy has long-been a favourite subject for builders. We’ve featured our fair of LEGO Hellboy creations in the past. But this version by LEGO 7 is an absolute cracker. Built at a premium action figure scale, this has poseability to match the fine sculpting. Hellboy’s horn stumps and massive right fist are perhaps the defining features of the character, but this model faithfully captures other elements of Mike Mignola’s creation — the coat with its long tails, the defined abs, and the Samaritan pistol. I particularly like the beard and sideburns, something hard to recreate at this scale. This is LEGO character building at its finest.
