This is another rare find I came across on Ebay. It’s 1/6 Hellboy sculpted by Shawn Nagle. I saw this kit in a magazine and have wanted one for a long time. It was nowhere available however until the time I saw it on Ebay. It’s been built and painted I believe by Shawn himself with his signature on the bottom. He was selling the piece through a friend on Ebay. I remembered at the time the Ebay seller was very particular about the buyer to whom he was to sell the kit. Fortunately, I had several referrals which was convincing enough that I was truly a collector. The kit came out long before the movie and it’s the comics version which has been skillfully sculpted by Shawn. Shawn did a fantastic job in capturing the features of this character created by Mike Mignola for Dark Horse Comics. It’s a good example of a well sculpted kit with a dynamic posture. Fine details on the base itself also deserve some time and a much closer look to truly appreciate them.
