TIMONIUM, MD (February 3, 2004) - Diamond Select Toys and Tower Records are all set to dress-up the collections of Hellboy fans everywhere this March with the release of the Tower Records exclusive Black T-shirt Hellboy Beanie!
Direct from the Hellboy motion picture, set to release everywhere on April 2, 2004, this exclusive beanie shows Hellboy in his "off-duty" outfit, witch means his long jacket is gone, revealing his sleeveless black t-shirt. Making such tough, hard looking characters into soft and cute beanie versions was an unnatural yet interesting evolution. "Hellboy is an interesting character with a very cool look," says Andy Livingston, Marketing & Sales Coordinator for DST, "and turning him into a beanie only serves to enhance his appearance. We're very happy to be working with Tower Records to get this neat collectible into the hands of Hellboy fans." This version of the Hellboy beanie shows off the intricate designs the character has on his right arm, as well as revealing more of his stone fist.
The exclusive Black T-shirt Hellboy beanie will be available at Tower Records stores and at www.towerrecords.com this March. In addition to their exclusive Hellboy beanie, Tower will also be carrying the regular Hellboy Movie Beanie assortment. The regular assortment consists of Hellboy with his signature trench coat, his B.P.R.D. partner Abe Sapien and Sammael, one of the villains from the upcoming Hellboy film.
