Hulk Deluxe/Retro Wave

After seeing that image, I really, REALLY wish we got an updated classic Abomination instead for this year's Retro Hulk wave. I'm sure we'll get a classic Abomination like this eventually, with one only head, an extra set of hands, and a price point that will be too high for everyone's wallets yet we'll all get pre-ordered.

I think I'm going to let the preorder slide on Professor Hulk. Sure he looks cool but I'm increasingly saying to myself that I can live off "on sale or not at all" figures unless it's some highly sought after Batman or X-Men stuff. I'm not sure it will sell out completely and just stay gone. Blob sold out and many thought he was gone for good, and I'd imagine they're going to make more Hulks given that this is a wave than they did Blobs, plus more people have other financial battles to deal with right now than the every increasingly pricey oil-based plastic collecting that we all bemoan.

I feel like you shouldn’t sleep on Professor Hulk. This iteration of the hulk hasn’t been made in action figure form all that frequently. Only three times since 1997-present day. For plenty of Hulk fans who view Peter David’s seminal run as a litmus test for how this character should be portrayed in the comics, the Professor Hulk era was top tier. As if Marvel finally found their Goldilocks formula for the Hulk and is still highly praised. Because in that run we still saw the absolute savagery of the hulk whenever he wanted to throw hands and cut loose, but he still had the genius intellect of Bruce Banner and the book was still mired in the same kind of quirkiness that fans were used to in the She-Hulk book from a decade prior.

So bottom line is that it’s a popular design from an adored era and I’m sure hulk fans are going to be stumbling over them to grab this.

Red She-Hulk arrived today and she’s a really nice figure. I liked that mold when it was Jennifer, and the additions to the costume make a really good Betty.

Do not know the exact details behind it, or the sais, nor do I care. They went into her accessory bag never to be used anyway.
