More than a decade ago we got movie Hellboy from Gentle giant that had double jointed elbows, so I'm definitely spoiled by the range of this figure, comic book Hellboy design doesn't have super bulky biceps, so they could easily cut double jointed elbows into those arms, Hand of doom would especially benefit from this because single joint they use is obstructed by hand of doom but another joint above cut in the bicep would provide far more clearance for the arm to move.
Also considering the style of Mignola that has a lot rectangular elements it wouldn't make it too ugly and almost all 6 inch boss fight figure like Red Sonja have double jointed elbows so this kinda stands out.

Boss Fight you need to CHIIILLLL!
case in point I collect Saurozoic warriors figures, they are 35 a figure...why are these 80+ ?

It's a small company which means much smaller production runs which means higher priced figures. Boss Fight makes nice figures and the paint is always great (based on my experience), so this price is about what I'd expect. It's better than the $155 or whatever those other two companies charge per figure. My only gripe is that Hellboy doesn't seem to have his coat. Maybe it isn't shown or maybe I just missed it. I went through these fast. Regardless, these won't show up for probably 2 years. Boss Fight are Mezco Batman '89 slow most of the time, but it's usually worth it in the end. I try and get all of their 1/18 Flash Gordon, Zorro, Tarzan, Phantom, etc, so the more pulpy heroes along with Popeye and the Fraggles. They all look great and I like the collector friendly cards on the smaller scale figures. They slide out like some of the Mattel Creations MOTU Origins exclusives.

There's not much to be done with his big arm. Getting it to 90 degrees or tad past that is all you need. The other arm look like it's all the way up based on that picture where he's holding the severed hand. That's better than most figures with double elbows. I could be a BS trick based on the angle of the arm to the camera, but the joint on that one is much longer than the one on the big arm, so it looks like it could go almost all the way (based on the pics), so I don't see the need to retool to get an extra centimeter out of it. The damage it would do to the sculpt/silhouette isn't worth it.

That's even more outlandishly priced. Just because these are a bit less so, doesnt mean they arent way overpriced for what they are. They look good, dont get me wrong, but nothing about them justifies this. Even if they gave Hellboy his traditonal trench coat, these aren't worth that money.
Considering the other Hellboy out there costs $150, this is a much better price. Boss Fight is expensive in general, even their Popeye line runs $35-40 starting. I've managed to find them all for much cheaper, but it took a lot of patience. The Popeye line is great though and I will definitely be getting these.
$65.00?? Is that a typo? Nah bruh...you must be outside your mind, Boss Fight.
I love these, but there's no chance that I'm ever going to pay $60 each for them.
These are nice. I always wanted the ones some years ago that I think were by Mezco.
