I have loved this statue since Randy put it out a few years ago. Why I did not get it then I am not sure. I think it had to do with the scale and I was not sure how big I wanted my Hulk Collection to be. I had the Bowen Retro Green and Abomination as well as the Hulk Comiquette. I even went ahead and sold the two Bowens because I thought one Hulk was good enough. Boy was I wrong.
I have said before Hulk is by far my fav. comic character. Nobody is even close. But due to the fact that I collect other film related statues I was not sure I wanted any more hulks. Well I went ahead and got the Hard Hero Hulk and then got bit. I wanted more! So here is the first review of several Hulks I got recently.
Face sculpt - 5 out of 5 Bowen nailed the likness of the Maestro perfectly. His overly large brow is dead on perfect to the comic version. The Hair and beared are sculpted perfectly. This is IMO Bowen's best likness to any comic version of the Hulk.

Body Sculpt - 5 out of 5 / Pose - 3 out of 5 - Total 4 out of 5 - The Body sculpt on this statue is also great. You have all of Maestros little moles and the attention with the Muscles is spot on. I took a point off for the pose because Bowen used this same type pose for 5 different Hulk sculpts. Which just gets a little boring. This one does have two closed fists instead on one open and one shut.

Paint - 4 out of 5 - Love the paint color they used on this. Wish they would use this color green more often. Looks more like the PF color greenthen the yellow green of all the other Bowen statues.

Base 10 out of 5 - Yep 6 out of 5. This base is worth the price alone. All the Marvel Universe relics at Maestro feet are all wonderfully realized. Thor's Hammer, Cap's Shild, Spidey's Mask, Doom's mask, Bullseye dagger, Wolverine's Skull, Daredevil's skull and cap, and many more. It's just a great base. One of the all time best. In the following photo you will notice I have the Spidey mask turned the wrong way. I did that for display purposes.

Overall - 4.5 out of 5 - Bowen did a fantastic job with this. All fans of the Future Imperfect should own this piece.
