    Hulkamania!


    Even though he's getting another summer blockbuster this year, I still say the Hulk was never more popular than in the late 70's. The TV series was, in my opinion the thing that made the character the pop culture icon he is today. Merchandising back then went from logical to the truly insane, I mean why would the Hulk need a race set?



    For no other reason than "Because I can", I'd like to showcase some Hulk live appearance pictures, Marvel never quite got it right. When I met the Hulk in 1975, he was a big balloon, complete with fan and you could see the guys loafers underneath. The suit above is an improvement but still kind of weird.


    The 1979 Philadelphia Car Show had a great idea, dress up a local body builder for the event, not bad, bet it fooled a lot of kids.

        I really don't think I'd want that Hulk toy box staring my in the face every night as I went to sleep!

        And that Hulk costume in the first pic looks like in belongs in a Thanksgiving Day parade!

            That first costume kind of looks like the one they have pictured in the back of one of the Hulk comics from the 80s. The Hulk in the costume went on a "rampage" and beat the snot out of John Byrne.

              Great old toys.
              The Hulk's in person look really funny.
