Great video! I always wanted the 12" Hulk, but I never had him as a kid. Much like Marty Abrams feared, my Energized Hulk was often used in my play scenarios. Mego's 8" Hulk was often the "in-between" transformation phase.

Yeah between Remco and Funstuf cutting his grass, Mego was right to try and add some bells and whistles.

[Werewolf]

It's cool to see it but I actually prefer the comic head to the prototype TV head. Looks friendlier somehow.

[Red Hulk]

I never had 12" Hulk I saw the Reb Brown Captain America movies and I got him instead.

[The Nawd]

I had the 12" Hulk. Loved him. I always took his shirt off so he'd look more like he did in the comics I had. When I played with him his main foe was my 12" Darth Vader.

It's a really good-looking figure, I've always admired the head sculpt.

[TrekStar]

Never had a 12” Hulk, was more for the 8” figures but like it said in the video, mego Hulk was a bit shorter than the rest of the 8” figures so a 12” Hulk made sense. I think the 12” Hulk is the best of the 12” figures.

[Bruce Banner]

12" Hulk remains one of my all time favourite Mego figures. A true classic.

[scott metzger]

He was a Hulk who could team up with Steve Austin and Mike Power. What more could you want? Seriously, he is a great figure,and it was so nice to have a Hulk who wasn't shorter than everyone else. Except Steve.

[Wee67]

He is definitely my favorite 12" Mego. I loved his size, but I have to admit, I was mixed on the face sculpt. I've always wondered if my belief that the 8" face looked truer to the comics look was based on it actually looking closer to a comics version or simply that the 8" Hulk was my first, and therefore defining, Hulk figure.

[Earth 2 Chris]

^I like both sculpts, but I think the 8" Hulk's face is slightly more brutish, so therefore more comic-like.

Same here. I wanted that Mego 12 inch Incredible Hulk so badly. But I never got him then because my guess is my mom probably felt my 8 inch figure was enough Hulk for me. It wasn't until my adult years that I finally got a Mego 12 inch Hulk, but he didn't have the torn white shirt. But I had to trade my 8 inch Mego Fantastic Four collection. And it wasn't until last year that I finally got a repro of the white torn shirt to make him complete. As far as the comics go, the 12 inch Hulk looks better with Iron Man, Thor and Captain America thanks to the Avengers movies. But my 12 inch Mego Incredible Hulk reminds me more of the TV series with Lou Ferrigno. That figure and a rubber Hulk figure from 1978 are the only 2 Hulk figures I have that remind me of the TV show. My Incredible Hulk Collection.jpg
