Models, masks and props from Hellboy II: The Golden Army...

Hellboy II: The Golden Army is even more inventive and visually impressive than its predecessor.

Director Guillermo del Toro certainly does have a wildly creative imagination as you can see from this fantastic selection of props, masks and models on display at Universal Studios Hollywood on April 13 and 14, 2009.

Next up is one of the colourful denizens of the fantastical 'Troll Market' that Hellboy and his fellow B.P.R.D. (Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense) Agents visit.

Next, this cute innocent looking 'Tooth Fairy' creature turns out to be a bit more vicious in the film and not as kindly as the mythological sprites of legend.

The final prop on display is one of Hellboy's favourite weapons, his gun, affectionately named 'Big Baby' (which he's seen wielding in many of the promo posters for the movie).
