how big is he? I know some of the MS bulky guys are pretty big.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie Banks -
I just had a look at this figure over at another site and I thought it was awful. The face doesn't remind me of the Hulk at all and the picture they used for the packaging is way off the face sculpt they used. I think the pants are the worst part though, and the way they "lump" at the top of the calf looks really odd. I think you might change your mind on this one, enyawd72, after you see the loose pics?

yikes, you changed my mind. I was just eyeing it for parts, and that head is awful.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

I still like him...I think he's really ugly in that grotesque Frankenstein way that he first appeared. Even the clothes have an almost crude quality to the sculpt. It just screams Kirby to me. I'm expecting a gray variant with blue pants and an orange shirt down the road too.

I like the head. Hopefully someone will cast it in Mego-size.Check out my photoblog: http://megomuseum.com/community/blog...773-plaztekmanComment

It's a old school early Hulk.
Not bad, but I still haven't found the perfect Marvel Select Hulk so far.
I collect the "heavy hitters" of the line, but Hulk hasn't convinced me yet....

The box art is from FF 25. Kirby couldn't hold to one Hulk design even for a solid issue, so a 3d sculpt is never going to match. That's part of the reason Ditko took over with issue 3.
Kirby-style figures never work because the artists always screw up the nose. The main difference between Ugly Hulk and Super Hulk is Ugly had very human traits where Super was more Ape-like. Without the boxer's nose, you lose the dark circles and sunken eyes.Last edited by hedrap; Jun 24, '14, 7:51 AM.Comment

There's something very Karloffy about that face. It's the mouth, I think.
I still like my Kirbyesque Marvel Legends figure. It's not dead-on, but it captures the spirit of the early Kirby/Ditko Hulk.

Everybody be honest---if Marvel Select did only all Romita inspired figures for the next 3 years, you all would be happy now, wouldn't you?"No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'. Like I said y'all, I'm just happy to be alive. I think I'll scoot over here right by this winda', let this beautiful carriage rock me to sleep, and dream about how lucky I am." - Chris MannixComment

^Considering he defined Marvel's house style in our formative years and beyond (and was their art director for decades), I'd say "YES".

I think the eyebrows are too thin, but what really kills it for me is the pants. The back of the pants look horrible for me.Comment
