Your right, it's true. That's okay, at least 1 or 2 people like me. Maybe 1 huh :confused: Doc is one of my favorite characters. I got a little crazy.

[Zurbaran1]

that's what I said. It's only on your screen and most people ignore your threads anyway :D

[The General]

Take it easy with the jokes buddy. I thought you were down with B.O.T.H.? :mad:

It is true what you said. I know it. But the ones who hate me, love to hate me. So it's all good. I'm like the Howard Stern of the forum.

[Captain Late]

I've always dug Doc and I definitely dig this bust. He's one of those perfect blends of obscure but popular characters which BD excels at...

[Collection King 13]

Another great creation!!!

[bat_collector]

Who is this guy? Nice bust, but I'm probably passing. Gotta save money for Magneto and Sabertooth FS.

[Gladiator Max]

I really dig this bust, but should his hair be a bit more green? It looks a bit too yellow. Am I just being critical or what? :confused:

[randy bowen]

Max- It's the photo. The hair color is the same as hulks skin color.

[The General]

Isn't Doc's costume supposed to have no sleaves?

[Crom]

Isn't Doc's costume supposed to have no sleaves?

He has sleeves, I think, they just ride up high on his arms. Damn hippie.

[madjazz]

Not one I had on my desired list, but only because I didn't realize I wanted it.

[Gladiator Max]

Max- It's the photo. The hair color is the same as hulks skin color.

Thanks for responding Randy. I definitly will be getting this one. :thumbs2:

[abarron]

Can someone tell me who Doc Samson is??

abarron - Can someone tell me who Doc Samson is??

Real Name: Leonard Samson
Occupation: Psychiatrist, teacher, former special consultant to Gamma Base, New Mexico
Identity: Publicly known
Legal Status: Citizen of the United States with no criminal record
Former Aliases: None
Place of Birth: Tulsa, Oklahoma
Marital Status: Single
Known Relatives: None
Group Affiliation: None
Base of Operation: Mobile
First Appearance: INCREDIBLE HULK #141

Psychiatrist Dr. Leonard Samson came to General T.E. "Thunderbolt" Ross with a plan to cure Ross's daughter Betty, who had been transformed into a crystalline form through a blood transfusion with the Sandman. Samson had technicians devise a cathexis ray projector that would drain off gamma particle energy and psionic energy from Bruce Banner as he transformed into the monstrous Hulk whom General Ross had long hunted. Samson theorized that as a result of this process, Banner would be cured of the physiological instability that continually transformed him into the Hulk. Hoping to save Betty and to be cured himself. Banner willingly participated in the experiment. The cathexis ray succeeded in turning Betty Ross back to normal, employing Banner's psionic energy.

However, most of the psionic energy drained from Banner as well as a considerable amount of his excess gamma radiation remained within the cathexis ray projector. Motivated by scientific curiosity, and probably by a desire to gain superhuman powers for himself, Samson irradiated himself with the energies remaining within the projector. The result was that the slight, brown-haired psychiatrist was transformed into a massively muscled, green-haired superhuman with gamma-boosted strength. Banner himself seemed permanently cured, but he emotionally broke under the strain of seeing Betty, the woman he loved, being romanced by Samson, and exposed himself to gamma radiation, thereby undoing the cure.

Samson later lost his superhuman physique and power when he took a blast of concentrated gamma radiation intended for the Hulk. However, months later Samson regained his gamma-mutated form and superhuman strength when he was bombarded by intensive radiation from an exploding gammatron, an experimental gamma-ray generator. He has remained in this form ever since. Doc Samson, as he has been nicknamed, has long sought to capture and permanently cure the Hulk. Samson worked as a university teacher during the recent time that the Hulk was traveling through different dimension, unable to return to Earth. But Samson returned to his pursuit of the Hulk once the monster reappeared on Earth.

Don't walk down the Moodu road with Zurb. :eplus2:

[bat_collector]

I should stop doing research on busts I don't know about. I'm wanting all of them! Even this one, and the only comic I ever read with him is that one in x-factor in the nineties where he interviewed each member of the team (Havok, Strong Guy, Polaris, Multiple Man, Wolfsbane, and Quicksilver).

I liked that issue too

[Simon Park]

Doc Samson rules.

If only the final product looked good.:thumbsdow

This thread has been dead for more than 3 years and you just now bringing this up from the dead. Not just a popular character but the lamest, weakest, jobber king guy in all Marvel? Why does Marvel even bother with this guy?:mad: :stick:

[HoldyourfireAl]

Doc Samson is one of my favorite characters. The mini-bust is one of my favorites & I would gladly buy a FS!

Jobber king? :peoples:

[rilynil]

I always enjoyed Doc Samson's appearances when I was a kid. Samson always knew he was out-gunned but he knew he was smarter than the Hulk.




And I have no idea what a jobber king is.

[Teague]

We need to change the name of this thread to "Jobber King Peek". :laugh:

[rilynil]

Jobber King?
Why does that name make me think of these guys? Could it be a joint venture in the world of fastfood restaurants?

Doc Ock gets no love. Its a great piece given the era he is meant to represent IMO.

Sabretooth rocks. What are you smokin'?

How does GLADIATOR not make the top 5? Or Ghost Rider?:confused:

[patrickwm68]

Never thought much about the character. I don't care for the face on the bust. Kinda looks like a girl.

I always hated the rubber arms on Doc Ock, not crazy about the sculpt either.

After seeing Ray Villafane's Sabretooth it makes the bust look cheesy.

Hawkeye speaks for itself.

Original Daredevil was blah.

The GR bust never bothered me, though I would like to see a Blaze version.

This is the studio pic. The actual bust has softer features and pretty pink lips.

Really, he does! In fact, I have 2 friends that never collected comics seriously, but count the above as one of their all-time favorite issues!

[Simon Park]

Doc Samson still rules...even three years later. ;)

I'm seriously thinking about getting this. Doc's a favourite character from when I was a kid.

I think it's an interesting bust, and the pose and the hair really add to the illusion of him being in motion. Many MB's look kind of 'posed' - which isn't a complaint, just an observation. This one doesn't, and I like that about it.
