This is a great figure! He is very accurate to the movie (did anyone else notice he's the only "shiny" figure? every other character is textured but Abe looks like he's all wet! Bad Itchyo Sapien Pun *_*) Okay, one minor complaint and it is so minor that it doesn't lower the score of this toy and that is that he can't sit on a shelf. that's it. Heis other forms of articulation are amazinf, as is the detail. His feet allow him to stand by himself, always a plus with high end action figures. Abe is also so +sigh+ pretty blue with movie accurate markings all over him. I also love his hands! Yeah, his hands, they're positioned just like they are when he's "seeing" in the movie (which I loved if you can't tell ^_^) Educational wise, its great for teaching kids about Itchyo Sapiens, How Action Figures should be made or the hazards of dumping radioactive waste into the ocean.
He's super durable! I carried around in my backpack once and he stayed in good shape. Abe comes with a creepy baby Sammael, too. Abe come shighly reccomended from a HEllboy Fangirl!

I love this figure! He has great detail and sculpting and some cool accessories. The baby Sammael figure is also extremely detailed for something so small. This is probably one of the best action figures I have bought all year.

This figure comes with another head to attach on with Abe wearing his goggles as well as a harness to go around his neck. With them on, he looks like he just stepped out of the movie. This is a gem for any collectors but also a lot of fun as well! Beautiful amphibious paint job too!

In the world of Hellboy, Abraham "Ape" Spaien is a mer-man whose origin is uncertain. He was found by plumbers in a water-filled casket hidden away in a forgotten chamber in the basement of St. Trinian's Hospital in Washington, D.C., where he was in a state of suspended animation. The label on the container had the date Abraham Lincoln died (which would be April 15, 1865, having been shot the previous night at Ford's Theater) and the notation "Ichthyo Sapien". Consequently it was decided to name the creature Abe Sapien when he went to work for the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense and became an ally of Hellboy.

The figure in director Guillermo del Toro's film looks a bit different from the one in Mike Mignola's Dark Horse comic book. Played by Doug Jones, although the voice is obviously David Hyde Pierce, this Abe Sapien is one of the better shades of blue-green you have seen on an 8" action figure for some time. Abe is wearing his swim shorts, has a pretty cool belt, and comes with goggles and his water-breathing device for when he has to follow Hellboy, Liz Sherman, and John Meyers around on dry land.

This one is probably my favorite of the Hellboy action figures produced by Mezco, which also includes bad guys Rasputin and Kroenen along with Hellboy himself. I especially like the details on Abe's hands. True, you have to be careful how you pose him, because if it is not just right, this figure is going to fall down. But one thing in Abe's favor is that he has a lot of poses in which he looks good, especially if you are pretending he is swimming around underwater in his tank.

Love the detail, articulation, and accessories that accompany this item. It's definitely a great addition to any B.P.R.D comic book figure collection. My only complaint is that the figure's left leg is a little to loose making it at times difficult to pose on display, takes a little tweaking to get it just right.

I bought this because I adore the Abe Sapien character from the Hellboy movies. The likeness is very good and I will make sure my young boys do not destroy this particular toy! For all you Abe fans out there, you will enjoy this item :-)

The paint job is just about perfect! The sculpt is fantastic, very much like the adorable movie Abe. The face is very well done even down to the eyes. The scupted hands and feet are amazing. The accessories are almost just like the stuff in the movies. Be careful with that belt-the tiny belt buckle is removable-check out the tiny B.P.R.D. symbol! The figure isn't made of vinyl but hard plastic. It feels pretty durable. As for posing Abe-it isn't all that easy to do-I am going to have to play around with the figure until I figure him out a little more-and yeah, I can set a hip joint. As for his removable head-I tried removing it-and it scared the crud out of me because I thought I broke him-lol! Changing Abes' head to the one with the goggles and breathing apperatatous(sp) isn't hard to do-I do like the water breathing version better! I only have two problems with this action figure-whoever assembled Abe didn't put much effort into lining the chest section of the figure up with it's lower torso- and my second problem is that Abe belongs to my 13 year old daughter-mom's either gonna have to steal it-or buy herself one! Love that fishguy! don't tell my hubby! ;)

Son loved it. However the toy lost his head within a few weeks of being here. It's a neat toy and I'd recommend it--just be sure he doesn't get stepped on.

Oh, your Abe figure doesnt not quite live up to your dreams? TOO FREAKIN BAD! I have two of them; one Previews Exclusive and the regular Abe figure, and they are standing right now on my table. Before you decide to slam a figure. Why not take the time to mess with Abe's circle thigh joints. Once you rotate them the right way, he stands easily. Heck, they both stand easily. Slamming these great toys, just because you cant figue out a thigh joint. Does nothing but make you look ridiculous.

These toys rule. END OF ******* LINE.
