NEVER HAS GAMMA RADIATION CHANGED TWO PEOPLE SO DRASTICALLY...OR SO DIFFERENTLY! CAUGHT IN ITS BLAST, ONE MAN WAS IMBUED WITH BRAWN WHILE ANOTHER WAS GIVEN INCREASED BRAIN CAPACITY. BUT IT IS THE MISUNDERSTOOD HERO - THE MONSTROUS HULK - WHO MUST WATCH HIS STRENGTH AGAINST THE SUPER-INTELLIGENCE OF THE VILLAINOUS LEADER AND HIS INTRICATE PLOTS. NEVER BEFORE HAS SUCH A GREEN-SKINNED GRUDGE GROWN TO SUCH GIGANTIC PROPORTIONS, AND AS EACH OF THE LEADER'S PLANS ARE FOILED, THE WORLD WILL NEVER KNOW THE DEBT THEY OWE TO THE JADE GIANT KNOWN AS THE HULK!Over the years, Toy Biz has churned out many different Hulk Figures, yet has not been exceptional in appearance…until this latest version – this time, they’ve finally got it right! A great looking rampaging Green Hulk.
This figure is quite large – the largest Legend needing no additional assembly. When standing upright he measures approximately 8 ¼” in height. This means when compared to figures such as Sasquatch, Juggernaut, Rhino or Sabertooth, this new rampaging Green Hulk is enormous. The figure has been designed well – it doesn’t seem that Hulk’s too thin or too large – just right – very proportionate. He’s got big feet though, which also provides for a good base. The texture of his skin is varied and the purple pants seem to strain due to his size.
There are several points of articulation on the hulk figure – he’s articulated at the neck, shoulders, waist, hips, biceps, elbows, writs, fingers, knees, ankles and the toes. His facial features are painted well – overall a decent paint job on the figure – nice shade of green and purple. However, there is a washed off look too but that blends well giving the figure the desired look.
When compared to the Hulk Figure, Leader is quite small. He stands upright at approximately 6 ¾” in height. Like the hulk figure, sports a decent paint job with a good choice of colours. Comprises of points of articulation at the neck, shoulder, waist, hips, elbows, forearms, wrists, fingers, knees, shin and the ankles.
This Hulk vs. Leader Face-Off pack also comes with a reprint 32 page comic book as well as a Marvel vs. System Trading Card for added value. This set includes a Diorama backdrop that slots on to a base that has a few impressive blast holes. The backdrop is of an advanced military base while a Hellicarrier is launching a jet in the sky above. Advancing towards you are a few droids with their weapons firing out blasts.
Variant Figures - The difference between the “standard” Hulk and the “variant” Hulk is all in the face of the figure. The “standard” hulk appears relatively calmer showing a gritting teeth action while the “variant” appears much more aggressive with the mouth open as if to shout out something angrily.
In the Leader figure, the difference, once again is in the head region. The “standard” figure sports a huge forehead and the head is shaped like a mushroom. The “variant” Leader is like when he first appeared on the scene, with a tall head with hair, different chin and mustache. Complete structural change of the face.
All in all, ToyBiz have offered the fans two brand new figures packed along with a few extras. The figures are excellent and great value for money… an excellent collector’s item. A must have even for the modern collector.
