Marvel Universe The Hulk Review

I've already reviewed a Marvel Universe Hulk here.  As I mentioned earlier I was at the local mall one night and was surprised by the toy fair.   I saw tons of Marvel Universe figures and a lot of them were priced $12+ but one booth didn't have them labeled so I asked the guy how much they were and he said most of them were $10 so I didn't hesitate and picked up Red Hulk and Grey Hulk that day since other vendors were selling them for $15+.  I didn't the regular one here til the next day.  Anywho I'm a happy camper with my purchases. 



 Showing off my purchases!  Online each one costs around $20+ because of shipping. 





 HULK SMASH!!!
Articulation:
-Head rotates.
-Shoulders can go 360 and in and out. 
-Single jointed elbows that can rotate.
-Rotating wrists.
-Ball Jointed ab crunch.
-Ball Jointed hips.
-Single jointed knees and rotation at knees.
-Ankles can rotate and move up and down. 


 To my disappointment the older Marvel Universes do not come with display stands.  Only Bio Card and letter.


 His face looks a little weird.  And in my opinion his head is too small for his body.  


 Size comparison with World War Hulk and Marvel Legends She Hulk.  This guy is much more bulky than the later version however I still prefer World War Hulk over this guy.




 The Hulk also sizes up well with Iron Man 2 Hulk Buster Armor.



My only regret in getting these figures is the Hulk isn't my favorite character and now I have five different Hulks.  Woooo...  Anywho I really don't mind paying the $10 for each of them because they are nice looking figures and will go great if I ever make up a Marvel Universe display stand.

COLLECTORS:  Try not to spend too much on these.  They are from an older wave so unless you get super lucky then you'll probably be paying at least $15 a figure.  I do think that's worth the price though since The Hulk is a bulky figure that uses at least twice the amount of plastic as other Marvel Universes.    There is another version of Hulk coming out next year I believe that looks a little better but less bulky. 


PARENTS:  Buy your child a newer toy unless they really want this toy.  It feels like it can stand rough play for a few weeks.  I wouldn't go out of your way to get this toy unless your child is a super fan of The Hulk.
