“That’s the best Hulk you ever bought”
Sculpt body/face and pose – All 5 out of 5 – One of the main issues
people had with the original Gladiator Hulk was that it had that Huge
shield covering much of the sculpt. That is not the case here. You can
see the beautiful sculpt done by the talented artist at SSC in all of
its glorie. I gave Gladiator Hulk a 9.5 out of 10 and the lack of Peck
muscle size was the reason. Well it’s the same sculpt here but yet due
to the slight change in look it seems to make an improvement. Perhaps
it’s because he pectoral muscle looks slightly flexed holding that giant
ax. I don’t know. All I know is that this sculpt to me is perfect. It
looks great from every angle. While the lack of a shield shows off much
more of the sculpt, so does the lack of helmet and change in “skirt” I
Love how the face sculpt looks now. It was great in Gladiator Hulk but
now you can see it all and it’s just fantastic. Hulk is about to lay a
serious smack down on someone. It is also a slightly different head
sculpt as King Hulks nose is broader than Gladiator’s. I also like the
new loin cloth Hulk has. It’s Just another way to see more of this
perfect sculpt.
The Battle Ax and sword are both Huge and fit this piece so well. I
think it is apparent that this sculpt was made for King Hulk and that
Gladiator Hulk may have been an afterthought. I don’t know. But the SSC
preview that we saw before either of these were announced leads me to
believe I am right.
The Base is also slightly different with a NY city base as opposed to
the Planet Sakaar base. I prefer the base on this piece also. This
statue comes with some pipes that you can stick in the back and just
gives it that extra something. I like that it has a sewage vent on the
other side also. Perhaps it’s because these things are more familiar
then a Planet Sakaar base thus it gives it a more realistic look.
