I actually consider it one of the worst Hulks I’ve ever seen only beaten by the first XM Hulk as the ugliest Hulk ever.

I'm not a fan of these old hulks either. They are good for people who like the old art style. I much rather have newer modern updated statues of the characters. It's hard for me to find a hulk I really love. I do like the ss gladiator hulk a lot. The xm red hulk is looking better every time I see it. It's based on the art style of the comic. Almost exact to the art style.

A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.

Yep saw it at my LCB store many years ago when it was going for retail price at the time. Didn’t do anything for me then and still doesn’t to this day.
I compare it to older, classic cars. I can appreciate them for what they are but would never want one other than to sell and make money. Give me a modern day Ferrari, Lambo, or McLaren any day.

I’m not a fan of the Kirby Hulk statue, either. I do admit it is beautifully sculpted and painted, but the art direction just doesn’t appeal to me (yes, I have seen it in person). Thumbs up and congrats to those who do love it and own it. Different strokes for different folks and all that.

The prices are great for the cause . That being said give me a break on grey hulk . I can’t stand that version it’s personal taste but for that money I could buy Bowen Bronze Spidey or maybe even a Hulk!

The old hulks are definitely grails for what they command. Props to all who has one or two. Same goes for xm magneto even with all the haters bashing it. That will always be a grail since it's the first from xm, and many other reasons making it so sought after. Is it perfect? No but many will love it, and it's commanding a grail price just like these hulks.

However for a good cause, the tiger the better! Cant complain about that at all. Glad ss is doin g something to help with the mass success. Yes tax write off or not at least it will help research for better cures. Or at least we hope they do something good with the money ss donated.

I did at first, no way that's the proto. People buying are expecting the proto or is believing it is at the going prices. They're kind of confused and is fooled with the description saying painted by Kat. Yes she did paint them but not to the insane quality details as the proto. If you see the pics of the proto and compare them online it's nowhere near the proto paint job. That one is Kat's masterpiece which will command the insane prices. Look at the pics and you can see it's definitely not the proto. Yes its better than the production a bit. The eyes are not googley like all the productions. So the AP's are one small step up from production.
