The Hellboy franchise is nothing if not visually distinctive, and that's true both on the printed page and in three dimensions. Now, fans of this iconic horror universe can look forward to a new collectible inspired by 2017's Hellboy: Krampusnacht.

IGN can exclusively reveal the first images and details for this impressive piece. Get a closer look in the slideshow gallery below, and read on to find out when and how you can own one for yourself:

This Krampus statue faithfully reproduces the source material (which was written by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola and drawn by Adam Hughes). The statue clocks in at 12.25 inches tall and is limited to 500 pieces.

If the design of the Krampus statue looks familiar, that's because it was originally featured as an unpainted miniature in a 2019 expansion pack for Mantic's Hellboy: The Board Game. Working in conjunction with Mantic's artists, Dark Horse has scaled up the original figurine and transformed it into a striking, full-color statue.

“Working with our good friends at Mantic and Level 52 Studios, we’ve enlarged and meticulously painted Hellboy’s favorite yule goat in gory detail,” said Dark Horse Direct Director of eCommerce, Melissa Lomax, in a statement. “This festive and eerie statue begs to adorn your mantle year round. Celebrate being on the naughty list this year and pre-order today before it descends back into the depths beyond!”

The Krampus statue will be sold exclusively through the Dark Horse Direct website and is available for preorder now. It's expected to release in Fall 2022, just in time to frighten everyone in your household over the holidays.

Mignola's career is the subject of an upcoming documentary called Mike Mignola: Drawing Monsters. Earlier this year, IGN got a look at some of the exclusive art prints being offered with the Drawing Monsters Kickstarter, offering a glimpse at how the world of Hellboy evolves from rough sketches to fully realized comic book art.

While Dark Horse continues to publish new comics set in the wider Hellboy/BPRD universe, the core Hellboy saga reached its dramatic conclusion in 2019 with the release of BPRD: The Devil You Know #15. Find out why we think the Hellboy saga is an unprecedented accomplishment for Mignola and his collaborators.

South Park: Post COVID, the first of 14 Paramount+ exclusive South Park specials, will debut on November 25. The second of the South Park specials will be available on Paramount+ in December, followed by a traditional season of the show on Comedy Central in early 2022.

South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone spoke to The Hollywood Reporter in an article published on Wednesday. They clarified that the Paramount+ specials aren't feature-length movies and Viacom may have gotten overexcited in the original press release.

“With Viacom, we realized we could make [the 14 Paramount+ specials] as long or as short as we needed,” Parker said. “And they then went and called them movies. They are the ones who said we are giving them 14 movies in seven years. All I can say is for me, personally, I am 52 years old, I have made three movies in my life. So you do the math."

Stone added, "We’re trying to make what’s on Paramount+ different from anywhere else, so hourlong made-for-TV movies is where our head is at. We’ll do two made-for-TV movies every year. They will be big, but they are not quite movie scale."

With South Park renewed through season 30 in 2027, new seasons of the series will continue to air on Comedy Central every year. New episodes of South Park seasons 25 and 26 will stream on HBO Max 24 hours after they premiere on Comedy Central.

As for what to expect from the new seasons, Stone expressed enthusiasm for the return of Mr. Garrison, a character who took on the role of a Donald Trump spoof during the 2016 United States presidential elections, which was season 20 of the series.

Parker and Stone expected Trump to lose in the elections and had to rewrite an episode and make a big change to one of their most popular characters after Trump won. The series was then able to stick to mocking current events for the next four years.

"I was so f***ing happy to get Garrison back," Stone says. "That was one of the best parts of Trump losing [in the 2020 elections], we got Garrison back."

There are Ghostbusters proton pack replicas, and then there's the Ghostbusters Plasma Series Spengler's Proton Pack replica hitting Hasbro's crowd-funding platform HasLab.

From the looks of it, this is the most realistic proton pack outside of either a movie prop or a lovingly crafted Ghostbusters cosplay group. This 1:1 "movie-inspired" pack is opening up funding with a price tag of $399. Check out the gallery below to get a better idea of the level of detail in this prop.

As is the case with Hasbro HasLab projects like the recently announced G.I. Joe Skystriker XP-14F jet, there are stretch goals in place to help encourage more Ghostbusters fanatics to pledge. At $399 a pop, the project reaches production with 7,000 backers. Here are the stretch goals, according to Hasbro:

• 9,000 Backers to Unlock the Class I Unlockable Stretch Goal: THE CLASSIC BUNDLE
• 11,000 Backers to Unlock the Class II Unlockable Stretch Goal: THE GHOSTBUSTERS: AFTERLIFE BUNDLE
• 13,000 Backers to Unlock the Class III Unlockable Stretch Goal: THE SPENGLER SPECIAL
• 15,000 Backers to Unlock the Class IV Unlockable Stretch Goal: THE SUPERNATURAL STAND

Perhaps it comes as no surprise to learn the proton pack is compatible with the Plasma Series neutrona wand already on the market.

It also includes "lights and sounds from both the 1984 classic film Ghostbusters and the upcoming 2021 Ghostbusters: Afterlife," and you can "open the cyclotron and explore its inner workings for the very first time."

Hasbro Pulse Premium Members get the added benefit of "four 1984-inspired green ecto-plasm goo attachment accessories," if they back the project within its first 48 hours (but only if the 7,000 backer goal is met.

The 1984 Ghostbusters is an absolute classic, written and acted by comics in the peak of their careers, and the upcoming movie is pretty amazing, too. Be sure to check out our Ghostbusters: Afterlife review for our full thoughts.

Before he was dodging giant sandworms in Dune and leading armies in The King, actor Timothée Chalamet was a gamer. Specifically a YouTuber who focused on modded Xbox 360 controllers and boasted about 14,000 subscribers, as reported by Vice.

After Vice published its report, a clip of Chalamet was shared showing him admitting to his past as a young controller modder.

"I spray painted them on my pillow. I would open them up and I would charge people $10," Chalamet said, noting he made a grand total of $30 before his parents told him to quit filling the house with paint fumes.

You can check out each video on Chalamet's old channel here, where he shows off a red and green Christmas-themed controller, a blue and silver controller, and a red and black controller. It's an interesting time capsule of Chalamet's life just around the time he got his big break playing a small but significant role in Law & Order in 2009. The videos were posted in 2010, before Chalamet worked on USA's Royal Pains and Showtime's Homeland, making him about 15-years-old.

Chalamet narrates his videos, opening up with "what's good, YouTube?" before quickly explaining his color choices and asking viewers to "subscribe if you want" and giving a shoutout to 2009's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for being the "best video game right now."

The videos don't show Chalamet's face, but some digging by Vice determined that not only was the voice very much like what Chalamet sounded during his early roles, but also that the background of the videos matched an old Instagram picture from Chalamet's youth. A telltale scar on Chalamet's finger can also be found.

Chalamet has come a long way since his short career as a YouTuber. He most recently starred as Paul Atreides in Denis Villinueve's Dune: Part One and will return for Part Two in the future. Before that, he had starring roles in Little Women, Netflix's The King, he was nominated for Best Actor at the 90th Academy Awards for his role in Lady Bird, and starred in the Oscar-nominated Call Me By Your Name.

Chalamet will also be starring as the eccentric candy maker Willy Wonka in the upcoming prequel, simply titled "Wonka."

Little Devil Inside, a new game that was shown off when the PlayStation 5 was announced, and there's finally some new gameplay details.

Ahead of the newest State of Play, PlayStation announced there would be a new, in-depth look at Little Devil Inside, an action-adventure game from the studio Neostream.

Little Devil Inside is a unique-looking title set in a kind of fantasy world with dragons and other mythical creatures. The story follows Billy, a young hero for hire handling side jobs in the idyllic countryside. Only after a job goes wrong Billy's whole life turns upside down.

Billy is able to fend off enemies using his sword, but also needs to survive by hunting and cooking food at safe campsites. Of course, different enemies ranging from tiny demons to big mechanical monsters are roaming the world waiting for Billy.

It was first announced in 2020 and looks to be inspired by classic adventure games like The Legend of Zelda. Since then Little Devil Inside disappeared briefly, though the developers announced some changes will be made to the enemy designs.

No release date yet for Little Devil Inside, sadly. For more from today's State of Play check out IGN for all the latest news and announcements.
