I won a lot of figures off ebay a few days ago - the seller had no idea about any of the figures - I knew what most of them were - (a good amount of them were all marked up and used - I've been able to clean some of them up nicely though) But can anyone tell me about these figures:

I know that I've heard about this guy - I think it's from Kostas? Is that right? Does anyone know where these were available - how many were made, etc... my searches haven't turned up much

I will be posting some others next...

Another couple figures - where did these come from? Anyone seen this guy before?

the bottom says Marvel Comics and Universal Studios - so I know where they came from - but were these exclusive to the park? Did they come out from the first movie? Any info will help:

My guess for this figure is either custom or bootleg -

I think it came from this figure - but the head mold is different:

Not much on Kostas, there were not a lot made so you found yourself a treasure. Don't recognize the two Universal figures, they must be specific to the park but they look kinda half crappy. THe last is definitely a mexican knock-off.

the first looks to be a kostas that was painted up in the classic colors. These came from the factory with a funky spray-painted look.
The next two pics are new to me - might be a US exclusive or something. A unique Hulk item = coolness in my book so I would be pleased.
The next one looks to definitely be a bootleg of some sort.
The last one looks like a figure from the playsets from the 90's but only a sub-par casting so it may be a bootleg - hard to tell from the pics.
My favorite is the Kostas as I have considered getting one of these and painted up in the colors like yours.
Good haul gammabro

I remember you showing a pic of the factory paint job - pretty cool - but do you know how rare this little guy is? He's absolutely my favorite from the bunch!
The last one I showed is from the animated 90's - I posted him to show you where I thought the 3rd was casted from. Although - different Head sculpt...
the second Hulks - man, I'd never seen them before - and yes Steve, they are pretty cheaply made - but since I'd never seen them before I was kind of psyched!

Didn't some of those Kostas come in purple? Or am I thinking of a different one?
As to the two Universal figures, hey I would take them in a heartbeat. Any Hulk figure = good stuff.

yep - I knew that was fro the 90's ... and I agree about the body sculpt. The head was probably swiped/recasted - I agree with your assessment.
The Kostas came in green with a purple spatter styled paint finish (or the opposite colors). I have seen a couple repainted like yours but I do not think any were made from the factory like that (at least that I am aware of). My guess would be that yours was repainted but I am not an expert (I still don't even have one myself).
Great haul Ryan - color me green with envy
