Zimm's Two Cents
I like this one. I also am impressed with the base - though simpler then some of the others, this base represents the birth of the incredible Hulk.
Points in Favor
  • This entire series has been worth mentioning.
  • The shirt over the shoulders ads color and detail to the character.
  • Original face.
  • The desert base reminds of how the Hulk became the Hulk.
Points Against
  • It is competing against several other Hulks that I would pick before this one.
  • The original face
Recommendation: Buy. If I could afford two of them (and were a bigger Hulk fan), I would probably go with this one and the green version side-by-side. Overall, another great addition to the Hulk series.

Robert's Two Cents
Very nice. The Bowen paint job even works on this one. The color is very interesting.
Points in Favor
  • These are great!
  • It almost looks like the Hulk from the cover of his first appearance.
  • The base is simple, but still very nice. I think Randy saves the best bases for his stuff.
  • The paint job. The color isn't just grey. It's more of a green/grey.
Points Against
  • Not much.
Recommendation: Buy. If I could I would buy all of these Hulks. The Bowen team has done a great job with all of these.
