Planet Hulk (2007)

Planet Hulk

The story line is… some of the heroes decided that the Hulk was too dangerous to keep on Earth – so they tricked him and shot him into space.  Hulk was supposed to go to a planet with nothing on it – so he could be alone – like he always wanted to be.  But he landed on a martian planet and was forced into battle with other aliens against their will – like Spartacus – or Russel Crowe – and then he beat the King and was made the savior by all of the other martians and finally found peace – until –  the space ship they sent him in blew up and killed everyone who loved him.  He got pissed and declared war on Earth and the heroes that sent him up.  Great story – even better figure.  They have another version with a silver arm – and if I get it I will post it later.  Bought at the Toy R Us in Dartmouth.

Marvel Legends Showdown (2005)

Legends Showdown 

Hulk is always matched up with Wolverine – when we all know Hulk would kill Wolverine in a real fight.  That is… if they were real.  Real and really fighting.  Especially if they were fighting over Betty.  Cause she was hot.  I mean, she would’ve be hot if she were real too. 

I need a life.

This Hulk figure is tiny compared to others but used for some role-playing D&D type game that I never played.  I like the way Wolverine’s claws look.

Marvel’s Greatest Super Heroes Pack (1995)

 Toy Pack

Once again, Marvel and Toy Biz repackages the ’91 Hulk figure that they made – this time in a pack with Wolverine, Iron Man (with Hulkbusting Armor), Ghostrider, Thing, and Spiderman, Venom and Siver Surfer.  Not a bad little pack – if these figures were original.  I have at least 4 of these figures – loose, in the pack, the talking version – yet I don’t have it on the original card.  I know where to get it – The Toy Vault in Attleboro – problem is, do I really want to go and spend even more money on the same figure again? 

Probably, yeah.

Incredible Hulk Action Pal (2007)

 Action Pal

Look how adorable he is!  He looks down-right cuddly!  His feet are as big as his head!  I couldn’t resist his gentle eyes and sweet smile.  I know – this is everything the Hulk is not – but, dag-nab-it he’s the cutest little thing!  I found this in Wal*Mart in Plymouth.  When I have children – this is the type of toys he/she will get. 

He almost reminds me of the Jolly Green Giant – if it not for the purple pants and the lack of a leafy toga I’m not sure there would be a difference.  I feel like taking a bubble bath after writing about this guy! 

Hulk Bobble Head (2002)

Bobble Head

This monstrocity was picked up in Brockton and talks.  His over-sized head is almost exactly the opposite of the way Keown drew him.  This is a silly piece – I know – but I had to pick it up because it was the first Hulk bobble head.  There are a few other versions out there now – but this was the first and to me the best.  Which isn’t saying much. 

The Avengers Pack (1999)

 Avengers

Iron Man (in his original suit), Thor, Giant Man, Hulk – these were Marvel’s heavy hitters.  You needed someone roughed up – look to the Avengers.  They also had Ant Man and the Wasp – but they were added because the other members felt sorry for them – y’know, like when they make chubby girls cheerleaders.  The figuers in this pack are really amazing – although I question the paint job on the Hulk.  Why is he so dirty?  Did he get caught in a dust storm before the figures were packaged?  He’s the Pig-Pen of the Avengers.  “Hulk made mud pie for you!  You no want Hulk’s mud pie? Then HULK SMASH MUD PIE IN FACE!!”

You should’ve just taken the mud pie, dude. 

Avengers 2

Incredible Hulk “Outcasts” (1996)

Outcasts

I displayed the “Smash and Crash” figures before – well, this is the other line with dubbed “Outcasts” for a good reason.  These guys are freaks.  This has some good figures such as the Leader Hulk, Wendigo, and the female named Chainsaw.  For some reason I am missing Two-Head.  A shrimp Hulk with two heads.  I’m not sure if I couldn’t find this figure or if I just didn’t buy him – but now, years later, knowing that my collection is not complete – you can bet I will be searching for this figure.  You will know if I found it because it will be posted right away.

Marvel’s Famous Cover Series (1998)

Famous Cover

This is what I call the Anorexic Hulk.  What a poor representation of the powerhouse known as the Hulk!  He looks like Jr. High Hulk, or Pre-teen Hulk.  In 1998, Toy Biz offered some pretty cool figures – and then they also offered this.  I remember the Spiderman Famous Covers being pretty cool.  The back of the package offers an opportunity for any fan to own their very own pose-able, 8″ Aunt May!  To the first 10,000 lucky people to order! 

I’m sorry, 10,000?  Is that supposed to get anyone excited?  Does that make this figure rare?  Was there 10,000 people out there demanding an Aunt May figure?  Was there even one? 

Toy Biz Staff Meeting:

“How many of those Aunt May figures do you think we should make?” 

“Oh, I don’t know, maybe about 1,000.”

“Well, geez – are there 1,000 Aunt May fans out there who want to buy her in action figure form?”

“You’re right, better make it 10,000!”

“Well, no.  I was thinking less.”

“Man, Aunt May sure is a hot piece of ass.”

“What?”

“Are you still here?  Shouldn’t you be out making my Aunt May figures!”

Marvel Legends: Face Off (2006)

Face Off

These two packs are some of my favorite action figures ever.  Not only did they do new head sculpts for each variant – which I love – they chose the right villain.  The Leader is Hulk’s best foe – and while I prefer the McFarlane-esque Leader (to the left), the 60’s Leader is classic.  The Hulk’s in the package look mean, angry and ready to fight.  These two packs come with a reproduction of Incredible Hulk #115. 

Hulk Rage Cage (1996)

Rage Cage 2

This piece is big – bigger than the other rage cage I posted.  The cage looks a bit better constructed as well.  Like he can’t bust out just by sneezing.  As his arms lift and break the cage his shirt starts to split open – although it never really comes off – because as soon as his arms lower – his shirt is back on.  Tease.  Just like my girlfriend in highschool.
