Dynamic Forces Hulk help
Hi, I've been looking for the Dynamic Forces 40th Anniversary Green Hulk but I've found something odd. Some listings on eBay and elsewhere say its designed and sculpted by Martin Canale and others say its designed by Pablo Viggiano and Juan Bobillo sculpted by Pablo Viggiano and painted by Alejandra Jorquer. Pablo's Web site also has it listed among his works. But there's a Canale listing on eBay right now that shows a rather plain looking box.
What gives? Is the Canale one a knockoff? Does anyone have any insight on this weirdness? I want to get the better one if there's any difference.

I have the grey one, I just searched my closet for the box.
The box is the same for the grey and green, the only difference is a round sticker that says "DF limited edition varient.
The box says the Designed, sculpted and painted by Martin Canale.
Hope this helps.
PM me about this if you have any more questions about this piece.

Thanks for the info, Alex. I noticed something interesting in pics of the Canale piece and the Pablo piece. The book is upside down in the Canale one! Maybe one of these was an artist's proof, or an early version or something, but it's just odd. In fact, a picture on Pablo's Web site (sculptedheroes.com, very cool stuff) shows the book upright, then you click on the "buy" button and it takes you to the Dynamic Forces site and shows one with the book upside down again. lol The one I've found says its a Pablo work. I'm sure I'll like it when it gets here

to help you understand this was sculpted i believe while Pablo was part of Gore group and that is why you see it both places.

I haven't taken mine out of the box since I first got it, but I remember the book being upside down, and I have the grey one.
Wish I could help you more on the prices though

I seem to remember reading they made 1,961 of the green version in reference to Hulk's creation in the year 1961.
Price for the green when new was $199 I believe. I've got the green version - great piece!
