edge2100 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Hopefully this is the right place for this. This just popped into my mind as I was staring at my collection of 4 hulks + abomination. As a lot of people probably do, I try and avoid buying the same characters over and over again (unless its the punisher). At any rate, let's see what everyone thinks: 1. Overall best Hulk 2. Worst Hulk 3. Favorite Hulk (doesn't necessarily need to be the best hulk. Here's mine 1. Battle Damaged Hulk wave 22 2. Incredible Hulk 3. Grey Hulk---I bought my first marvel minimate sets in TRU just to get him, and maybe there's a place in my heart for the earliest minimates no matter how poorly executed...

luke314pi Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) Best: Heroes set Hulk. I know I will be in the minority here, but for me he captures the comic look perfectly. Worst: Movie Hulk. I didn't like the shade of green that they made him, and I think his hair is too bulky. Favorite: Avengers box set Hulk - Jack Kirby FTW!

karamazov80 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) Who is "Incredible Hulk"? The one from the Heroes set? My choices: Best: Defenders Hulk--the definitive Minimate Hulk Worst: "Professor" Hulk Favorite: Defenders Hulk. . .but if I need to choose a second, different one, it would be movie Hulk.

Mirymate Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Best Hulk: the one from the Heroes Boxed set. Worst Hulk: Grey Hulk, the head piece just looks ridiculously oversized to me. Favorite Hulk: The Kirby Hulk is close, but really the overall charm of the very first Hulk wins. YMMV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Best: Wave 4 Hulk. Worst: Zombie Hulk Favorite: Wave 4. I'm just partial to the little guy. He's a pure minimate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minijeff Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Best: Wave 4 Hulk. Worst: Zombie Hulk Favorite: Wave 4. I'm just partial to the little guy. He's a pure minimate dude there is no Hulk in wave 4.....the first green hulk was in wave 1 my list Best: toss up between defenders and heroes one worst: professor or grey fave: wave one - it was my first marvel minimate set and started the craziness lol Jeff of the Miniacs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge2100 Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 Who is "Incredible Hulk"? The one from the Heroes set? He's the one from the Avengers set. I wasn't a fan of the way his torso is so V like and his hair/face also has this flat triangle type thing, reminds me of guile from SF. It's interesting to see who likes what. The only conclusion I can draw from this about minimates is that the execution of a character really doesn't have a lot to do if you really like it or not, the most important thing is the connection you can make to it, which I guess is why a few people, including myself love the first hulk so much. Altho, it may be safe to say, not too many people have a connection to a figure like riot-spidey hahaha, you never know tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rheul Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Best Hulk: Heroes Set Hulk Worst Hulk: (none are bad but some are better than others) maybe Gray Hulk Fav Hulk: I cant pick just one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Best: The Original Worst: Prof Hulk.....this is gaining ground on Riot Spidey as worst Marvel Minimate. Favourite: DVD Hulk.... subtly different from the Original & almost impossible to find . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Best: Wave 1, IMO he's minimate personified. - I still think we've evolved too far from the simple clean designs minimates were supposed to be. Worst: "Professor" Hulk - It's as unattractive as Shanester dressed up as She Hulk for his "special roleplay sessions!" Favorite: Nekkid Hulk - as customized by so many jolly japesters out there T.

buttheadsmate Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 In all fairness TM2 Dr.Doom & The Hulk are very similar in appearance & anybody could have made the same mistake The TRU Doom/Hulk 2 pack is also going to freak you out but there is a hint on the packaging which..... may(?)....... help you.

edge2100 Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 I assume Original Hulk means the wave 1 hulk/very first hulk? I tend to wonder if I would have actually gotten into mates if it wasn't for that guy and the grey hulk. Speaking of getting far away from the original mates, I finally got the original green gobby. There is def something about the simplicity of the original ones that is very attractive. Even the hair feels softer than the newer ones, differnet plastic or something maybe? At the same time, the amount of details on the newer ones are really great work though, and in someway might make them seem more worth the money.

mtd20_2000 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Best: Heroes Hulk (with the Defenders Hulk hairpiece) -I would have gone with the Defenders Hulk but the figure is just too short. Worst: "Professor" Hulk Favorite: Incredible Hulk (Kirby) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Best Hulk: Defenders Hulk Worst Hulk: Grey Hulk, the big head piece is naff Favourite Hulk: gotta be the translucent green Gamma Hulk he's great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulk197 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Worst = Smart Hulk... dumb dumb dumb DUMB minimate Best = for me it's a tie between Original, Kirby and the new Heroes set Hulk ( no duck feet ) Fave = Zombie Hulk of course... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallbreaker2.0 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Best: Defenders Worst: Smart Hulk Favorite: Wave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthRaider Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Seeing as I'm notoriously indecisive ()... Best: Heroes Hulk and Defenders Hulk (the Defenders Hulk is my definitive one right now, but I feel his place will be contested soon... ) Worst: Professor Hulk (Kirby Hulk is a close second, but only because of everything he put me through ) Favorite: She-Hulk!

Bob Harris Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Best: Defenders Hulk (I like his face expression better than the Villains' one.) Worst: Prof. Hulk Favorite: Planet Hulk Green Scar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Favorite: Planet Hulk Green Scar If that were an official release, Bob, it would have my vote as well. If I could pick a single figure in my collection that I would like to be bigger than the rest, (apart from the Maximates), it would be Hulk. Terrific work on that one.

edge2100 Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 I think you're the first person to fav she-hulk or even put her in the running! I'm usually not much a fan of the gal minimates, but I do have to say they did a nice job on her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handsomedevil Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Shulkie gets my vote too! Seen that new T&A statue of her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndieMate Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Worst: Avengers #1 Hulk/Grey Hulk - I don't know, there's just something off about them. Maybe it is the huge heads... Favorite: Zombie Hulk -What's their not to love about zombies? Best: Defenders Hulk -Probably the best Hulk. Coming in a close secod, though, would be the Heroes Hulk.
