I wonder if we're going to see a new Hulk and Iron Man Premium Formats (since they seem to me making another Avengers line up) coming down the pike next year?

Don?t forget the new Scarlet Witch can go with these too.

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

Too bad she's not on the 1/4 scale. However, a reinterpretation of this art, with a similar pose, and enhancing a more current anatomy with textures in the right places, would certainly place it at the top of the best pieces by the son of Odin.


Well I have to agree that this Thor offering is not as clear cut a decision as Cap. Valid points, I'm still on the fence, but man, I'm tired of waiting for a classic Thor, so I wants it, I needs it, & am trying real hard to like this thing. But we'll see, because as mentioned, with a little time & more pics, I've been surprised before. Just hoping for the best.

A Hulk that isn’t hunched over, World War, King or any other single storyline or gimmick! With a “classic modern” portrait (as opposed to truly classic, OG comic Frankenstein head).

Fun Fact, the Avengers found Cap after Hulk had already quit!

I've been waiting for that type of 1/4 classic HULK for what felt like forever. Thankfully, XM released the Transformation HULK and all my prayer were answered. Hopefully, sideshow releases a new HULK PF that you'll like someday soon. I had the same problem with a classic 1/4 Cap. I didn't like any of the previous 1/4 releases. IMO, sideshow came through big time with Canale's recent Cap PF. While every sculpt by sideshow (and other companies) may not be a hit, I'm beyond thrilled that sideshow seems to be focusing on these characters classic costumes of late. It gives me hope we'll see a classic Byrne Cyclops and Perez Deathstroke one day.

I agree, this cap is beautiful. I think I'll be picking it up as well, not entirely sure what I'm doing with my Avengers display yet lol but this looks like one that'll be a keeper for me, either way.

I'd love a classic iron man and hulk too, while they are at it

After seeing your pic I decided to see if the new cap fit with some other Avengers. Actually looks pretty good.

He's listed as 21" so I just went with it. Just like the Hulk listed at 20" but when you actually see the size of him in person it's like "Woah, he's much bigger than I thought."

The Crouched over hulk is literally the size of 1.5 to two normal sized PF's wide and he's about 18" deep so you need deep shelves to hold him. Much bigger than pictures make him look on the site.

And as I look at him, is probably taller than the "20 inches" they state on the site.
