While I wasn’t as enamoured of Hellboy 2 as I was the first film (for various reasons not necessarily related to the quality of the film itself), and I don’t collect 3 ¾” toylines, I have to say that this is probably one of the coolest SDCC exclusives this year. It’s a 7″ Golden Army Soldier, in scale with the rest of the 3 ¾” figures, and it even comes with a  Hellboy to mix it up with.

At $30 the set is pricey, though keep in mind, the Golden Army Soldier is the same size as Mezco’s regular 7″ figures, and those exclusives usually averaged about $25–plus you get the Hellboy.

And at least Mezco’s offering all their SDCC exclusives for sale on their website (I’m looking at you, Gleek).

Mezco’s award-winning 3.75inch Hellboy line continues with the addition of the highly anticipated Golden Army Soldier! The Golden Army Soldier stands approximately 7 inches tall (in scale next to the other figures in the 3.75inch series) and features eight points of articulation. He comes packaged with a 3.75inch Hellboy, who comes complete with a base, and his legendary sidearm, the Samaritan. Ships in Late July 2009.
