TRU Wave 11

Personal favorite is the "Super heroes" Hulk in the center there. That said, big boy on the right there seems a descent way to get around the height restriction and the 2.5 inch Hulk we've been craving for a long time.

True, but then the only thing distinguishing him as a Minimate is his head and "t-crotch."

Those new pictures have sold me on the bigger Hulk. It may not be a traditional minimate but it works for me.

Second.

Also is it me or are DST making the TRU waves compliment the specialist store wave, similar to what they're doing with the MVC3 mates?

I love that new Hulk. I hope these pics mean that they will hit the pegs sooner than later. The Spidey two pack looks great and appears to come with a rope for Normie to drag Peter around with. I really couldnt care less about the rest of the wave... Wish Sinister/Nimrod pack was in the TRU wave rather than Mr. Neg or Betsy packs.

Did you see they called him Gamma Rage instead of mega rage?

Well screw that, then. I'm officially boycotting Minimates until they give Hulk his awesome name back. Gamma Rage is extremely predictable and boring. But MEGA RAGE!!! Now that's a name you will remember.

I'm gonna go ahead and send a very angry e-mail to DST about this whole "Gamma Rage" business. Who the hell do they think they are, pulling this kind of bush league crap?

Some weird pseudo-Minimate freak. . .makes me wanna MEGA RAGE!!! when I see all those sculpted parts.

I'll be curious to see how the greens match up on GR Hulk and Defenders Hulk, to see if a head switch-out is doable.

Traitor.

I find the opinions on this new Hulk pretty interesting. It seems that people either love it or hate, but not a lot in between. Like the Things we've gotten recently, I'm hoping this guy can be part swapped with some other Hulks to get something better. I also think it's a bit funny that Hulk is dominating the TRU Wave 11 conversations. I guess that kind of says a lot about the anticipation factor for the actual exclusives.

It seems that his mega rage just lasted a day until he got gamma poisoning. I hope it isn't contagious. :tongue:

This new Hulk is just a minimate in a different era. I still love the first Hulk. And I think I like this MR Hulk. But I don't really like the Hulks in-between that much.

Define better. Why is this bad, but BR Bill okay? (fully realize I'm kicking over the worm can here)

Well, if this NIghtcrawler was in some way different from the Excalibur release, I'd be more excited. As it stands, that pack may be a pass. I mean, I haven't read a Mr. Negative story I actually enjoyed, so it's him and a different colored BAMF... not sure that's enough to get me to bite. Fantomex... I'd had rather had the white outfit but I guess it's okay enough... Pink Psylocke... well it's an Alan Davis design and the outfit I 'met' her in... Yeah I guess so. I just look at her and wish she were someone else. (reminds me of a girl I dated in college, but that's another story)

I gotta admit, in that "evolution" shot, Gamme Rage Hulk looks superb. It's what I want to see in a Hulk Minimate, but the extreme sculpting will only work for a few really big characters. I think this one come closest to their vision of a big Hulk, and is much better than 90% of their efforts previously.

With Hulk, I think there is just slightly too much going on so that the basic Minimate concept is hidden. Using the TRU Thing and the most recent LCS release, I put together a Thing that I'm much happier with. (Pic here.) I think that kitbash lets more of the Minimate essence shine through. I think BRB looks good for the same reason. (I also recognize that some characters almost inherently involve a bit more than the basic look.) With so much love/hate going on for this Hulk, I think it's better that we're getting him than if we weren't. I just plan on combining various parts (The face, hair, and chest piece on MR Hulk look good to me) to get something more pleasing to me. Yes, I'm fickle. But if I had to put my finger on one thing, it'd the arms. I think the arm covers on the bulked-out characters are pretty ugly and have a weird, puffy, marshmallow thing going on. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and more power to everyone that is happy with MR Hulk as he is.

Out of choice I have no Minimates on display ....bar one... in my house. The one Minimate that is displayed lurks in the kitchen amongst the tea,coffee & sugar containers. He is a fine fun character & just about everybody comments upon him although he is virtually unrecognisable as a Minimate & he is almost impossible to pose. I like the new Hulk ...who could fail to....but ,as Dr.K has said already, is this a Minimate?

Hulk will shortly be joining Stay Puft.

I'd say I'm in between, basically I think he works fine, although I'm a bit "another day, another Hulk" at this point. It might just be that if you don't love or hate him there's a lot less impetus to post anything. Or it could just be me...

I like that Hulk too but I see what you mean when you say it doesn't look like a minimate. I was opening my RGB TRU sets the other day and my wife looked at the Boogieman and the Egyptian Ghost and said that they didn't look like minimates. I personally like it when we get unique minimates that look different so I am cool with it.

I love the glider, Nimrod and a big green thumbs up for the new bulky hulky. If this were the only version of hulk out there, I would be disappointed since he is so different.. but after 20 different hulks (I lost track of how many) from standard minimate to duck feet.. it was time to have a giant hulk.

Now bulky Juggernaut, Thing, HB Iron Man, Bulky Hulky and Staypuft can all go cruising for chicks together and ask the ladies to check out their guns.

Nice move. Can't wait for these.

I like the bulky Hulk better than a standard Hulk with just the "powerhouse" torso piece, but I still think the perfect Hulk will come the day we are allowed to have a 2.5" Minimate body. They looked so good in the DC line, and I would gladly buy another new Hulk, Juggernaut, Apocalypse, Sentinels, etc... if that day ever comes.

They're not going to do 2.5" bodies and they looked horrible in DC. The point of Minimates is to have everyone the same scale. This message has been brought to you by the crusher of hopes and dreams, our imperial highness, princess Celestia.

+1 Bane and the others just look too big and more cartoonish if that's possible. I am glad 2.5" are dead.
