Yeah, I would have thought Perlman would have made a much better monster, he's certainly got more of a build for it than Jones.
However we've seen what Del Toro can do with practical effects and costumes in his films. Perhaps he's going for a different looking Frankenstein, not the bulky monster we've seen before.
I'm not familiar with Wrightson’s monster, he does look leaner than most of the onscreen versions.

Frankenstein's monster is supposed to be frightening because he looks so incredibly human, yet is not. IMHO this is the perfect opportunity to make use of the "uncanny valley" in CGI - create a humanoid that is upsetting to look at because it's not quite human.
However, I'm sure that del Toro will go for the more classically "scary" look. To each his own.

ummm...my comment didn't even show from earlier.
Anyways, to summarize what I said.
I'm glad the director will be busy for years to come, he certainly deserves to be.
I look forward to the Hobbit films (although I like the original idea better-that the second film would be a bridge between hobbit and the trilogy and would have characters from the trio).
I wonder if there will be a Hellboy 3, I guess that depends on box office numbers.
As for Franky, I'm not excited about this film as its been done a million times over and a million more times in tv shows and cartoons. I think everyone in the world knows the story and it just wouldn't really offer anything to me. Unless its some completely different take on the film...

I'm sold on anything Del Toro right know. Bernie Wrightson’s artwork is amazing, but I'm curious if his inspiration for Frankenstein's face was Michael Jackson?
