Description

Hellboy (Columbia, 2004), Karel Roden "Grigori Rasputin" Screen Used Hero Occult Ceremonial Robe. Extraordinary, beautifully tailored dark gray robe featuring an intricate floral silk pattern with an extended, dramatic 86" train. The design is further elevated by ornate gold brocade trim and an olive-green interior lining. This bespoke robe is worn on screen by archvillain Grigori Rasputin (Karel Roden) during the climactic sequence where the nefarious mystic uses Hellboy's (Ron Pearlman) iconic Right Hand of Doom to open a portal and summon the monstrous interdimensional entity known as the Ogdru Jahad. Crafted without any interior labels or markings. Exhibits minor production wear with some fraying to brocade trim. Comes with a COA from Heritage Auctions.

"This wardrobe was a big win for me. Wendy Partdrige, the designer, wanted it embroidered by hand, in India, in pure gold thread. This made it incredibly heavy and expensive. I had to tackle this fight with production, and it remains one of the most wonderful pieces of wardrobe ever produced in my three-decade-spanning career. Well worth the fight and the only hero piece of its kind." From the personal collection of Guillermo del Toro.
