DSTZach Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Barbarian Hulk was what Hulk looked like after he was separated from Bruce Banner and went to live with the Moloids in Subterranea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtd20_2000 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Excellent set! Hopefully they make a mega Abomination, mega Wendigo, and Doc Sampson soon!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaipo Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 can someone fill me in on whether or not barbarian hulk comes with this spear? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Mine did not include a spear. Mine didn't come with two guns either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youbastards Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Same here, no spear, 1 gun. Looks like that spear is from the upcoming Shanna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Katz Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Ahh, that's where I've seen it! Good call YB Why does the Hulk need a spear? I mean he's the Hulk... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaipo Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 ok thanks guys good to know. the spear would make a cool accessory but I guess it's true that hulk doesn't really need it. good to know about the one gun as well. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) I was on vacation last week, so I didn't get to pick up this set until today. Some thoughts: -I'm unpleasantly surprised that DST went back to the traditional t-crotch rather then the slimmer ones we've had for bulked up figures recently. None of my Hulks can bend their legs at the waist. -I can't say I like the Composite Hulk much. He's just too visually jarring for my taste, and I don't really care for the Red Hulk at all. I'd have been happier with a First Appearance Hulk, or a Planet Hulk. -Barbarian Hulk is a nice figure, although I haven't read the story he comes from, so he doesn't mean all that much to me. -I really, really like Joe Fixit, and the extra parts are a nice touch. Not much to say about him, other then that the Grey Hulk has suddenly shot up my list of characters I would most like to see redone. -Maestro... wow. He's got to be the early leader for Minimate of the Year. Just spectacular. I love that his cape is so easy to remove (it slides right over his head), so that you don't have to pull him apart to change his look. Also, either hairpiece fits comfortably with the cape. -The base is really cool, and harkens back to the old Toy Biz figure perfectly. And I love that all the pieces are removable! -Am I crazy, or have Maestro's hands been designed so that one hand sculpt can be used for both the right and the left? They look identical to me. -With all these bulked up figures and extra pieces, this has got to set the record for most parts in a box set, doesn't it? -It just strikes me as odd that two of these figures have so many extras, and the others have nothing (unless you count Barbarian Hulk's little necklace). Kind of reinforces the sense that this is really a two figure set... but what a two figures they are. -Personally, I don't think this tops Savage Tales as the box set of the year, but like I said, it's hard to imagine there will be a better Minimate this year then Maestro.

DSTZach Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Wolverine Saga might have more parts, but Deadpools Assemble definitely does. Sorry I threw people off with the spear and two guns. I'll actually open the box today and take a tray shot. (Those were samples.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigvis497 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Thanks for the detailed insight, Hellpop. I think we've got similar tastes in what we're looking for in Minimates. I'm only really interested in Maestro and Mr. Fixit. I can't wait to get these from Luke, Maestro is from my favorite period in Hulk comics and I'm glad to hear he's as great as he looks. And I know we got Strange Tales, but SAVAGE Tales? Where did I miss THAT announcement?!?! Savage Tales: Man-Thing/Ka-Zar/Zabu/Black Brother. (Nobody knows what I'm talking about...)

hellpop Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Whoops... I knew that didn't sound right when I typed it, but it was like one in the morning and I couldn't get back to sleep after my daughter woke me up. Future Imperfect is probably my favorite Hulk story. I have to admit (sorry Shane), but I was never a big fan of the character before Peter David took him over and basically redefined him. I would have been happy if this set had just been a Peter David Hulk set. I soured on him after awhile (his writing tics just wore me down), but PAD on Hulk was my favorite comic for quite awhile there. I've been thinking about giving the Maestro someone to fight (besides Smart Hulk) by making a Janis custom. That one MvC girl with the long hair would be a good start, I think.

youbastards Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 First Appearance Bulked Up Grey Hulk would be nice to have, but my big Hulk want at the moment is the McFarlane era Grey Hulk with tattered shirt: Both looks easily warrant their own release. Maybe one in a Hulk-themed LCS wave, and the other in a TRU supporting wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtd20_2000 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) When one ponders the evolution of the Hulk minimate, it really is quite incredible. Edited June 27, 2013 by mtd20_2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Defenders Hulk is still my favorite, though. I do hope a McFarlane inspired Hulk joins the roster, but personally, I hate every Hulk drawing McF has ever done... I have to admit I still have a soft spot for Todd's Hulk, even though I've grown out of that style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
