    The Incredible Hulk Kit




    I found this item at a Toy show yesterday, what attracted me to it wasn't that it was Hulk related (more of Captain America guy) but that it was weird and I'd never seen one before. It's also a television related piece which don't pop up that often.

    The back shows the second poster, I can totally see the makeup coming off Lou Ferrigno.





    The membership card is the height of absurdity, the Hulk has excellent penmanship (I was expecting crayon) and I'm not sure what privileges you get from the Hulk. Isn't he basically a homeless man?





    The real kicker is this awesome little bendy, which Durham made in a larger format. I've had friends ask me where this smaller version came from and now I know! I just can't remember which friend now....

    I've never seen anything like that before. That's really neat and lol, yeah, like Hulk's signature really makes this all the cooler.
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

        No turtleneck sweater? How are you supposed to be Dr. David Banner?
        If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

          Wow, Lou seems to be suffering from Gingivitis in that one poster photo.

          This is...odd. I had the full-size Hulk bendy. I always felt it was closer to the TV show than most Hulk toys of the seventies.

            I can absolutely see the small bendy as the subject of a post- "Got this in a lot. Anybody have any information on it's background?". Of course, crickets that would have met this question will now be answered with a link to this thread

              I used to have one of these...sold it years ago like a dummy. Mine was also Canadian. I always wondered if there was an all English U.S. version.

                Campus Craft was a Canadian company so I'm guessing this may have just been our thing. What did you sell yours for?

                  I thought the bendy was made by Vic. I have the large version (and had one as a child too).

                    You're right it's a Vic's product. I get those mixed up.

                      I can't remember exactly...not much. I sold it as part of a bunch of Hulk TV stuff. Some Spanish trading cards, local TV guides, clippings etc.

                        I like that instead of signing "HULK" as he often refers to his 3rd person self, he uses his complete surname, "The Incredible Hulk"

                          Pretty cool set. That little bendy is pretty funny, though.

                          Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic

                              Wonder what full privileges will get you? The Hulk comes over to your house and eats baked beans with you?
