Now that the reviews are coming in, this figure is looking better and better. In hand it may actually become my favorite Hulk action figure… I also grew up on Sal Buscema’s work on The Incredible Hulk. What puts this one over the top for me? The paint apps seem appropriately done and really bring the sculpt to life. The head sculpts are very textured, which I always felt was somewhat lacking on the 80th green compared to the others. And the accessories… great having an alternate head AND hands, and that diorama base is super cool. I like having the SDCC, 80th, and look forward to this one as I’ll have three Hulks from three different, iconic eras (technically four, as I have the Toybiz 1st appearance Hulk). Considering the 80th Grey now, because with the white ripped shirt it totally nails the McFarlane Grey Hulk.

My guess is, the head sculpts are based on Sal Buscema’s work from the late 70s to early 80s. The sculpts are decent IMO, and the paint apps overall look better when the figure is taken as a whole. Not crazy about the apparent randomness of the paint apps in some places, especially on the jeans. Ah well. It’s too bad; I just came across this:
