I'm sure very few people here know about this toy so I dug it out of the collection just to show some of you fellow collectors.
The Spider-man stunt cycle was first released in 1979 and is pretty rare but there have been a few found through the years. I've only seen 2 on EBay and a mint one sold for about 1k.
The Hulk cycle was interesting because despite the character's popularity at the time they didn't make many of them. It seems this product costed Amico a lot of money to produce and the Spidey cycle wasn't a great seller (it had a high price tag). Only about 50 Hulk's were sent to retailers and it didn't do well so the product was pulled and forever gone. You won't even find a pic of it on the internet.
Back in the mid 90's I met through some friends a guy who was an employee of Amico back in the day and he had some prototypes and items in his basement. To make a long story short I eventually met the guy and he had some cool stuff but nothing that held my interest until I saw this unopened Hulk toy that I never even knew about. He told me the story of it and said I would never see it again and it's probably the only one left in this shape and so I had to buy it!! It costed me a TON but I got it and still have it to this day!!
Anyone out there ever see it in a store? Since so few were released I would love to know.
Enjoy toy fans, this is probably the rarest of Hulk toys.
