Mezco had some really nice Hellboy 2 movie toys, The Warriors and more, but c’mon—I know you’re mostly interested in the Heroes toys. S’cool. I can’t blame you. Especially since they look pretty damned good. So here’s wave 2, beginning with Horn-Rimmed Glasses dude and Parkman with plot anchor Molly accessory…

Then Malcolm MacDowell as Linderman, the beautiful but intensely dumb Niki/Jessica, and finally Future Peter with extra emo.

Is it weird that I’m most excited about a Malcolm MacDowell figure? Also, does anyone else want Niki/Jessica to just die whenever she comes on screen?
You may have noticed that wave 2 or Heroes looks better than wave 1, and you’ll see that wave 3 is better than wave 2. It’s got Hiro in samurai gear (so you can recreate his interminable absence from the main storyline), Nathan Petrelli (which could also make a swell Profit figure), and the Haitian in a sensible jacket…

Then Kristen Bell as Elle and Alias’ Sark as Adam Munroe.

I repeat: KRISTEN BELL
