Why didn't this statue catch on more?

[psycho shark]

It's a great looking piece for sure, and it's very massive! You should post some pics next to a few Bowens so people can get an idea of it's size.

I passed on it because I'm more into the modern version of Hulk myself. But it does look a lot like the cover to #1.

Nope, Master Replicas aren't doing any more in this series. They did a really nice Spider-Man (from McF's series #1), and I think that was it for the line. I'm pretty sure these are made of some sort of heavy plastic too, which may have turned off some people. Doesn't bother me though, as long as the paint job is good, don't care what it's made of!

Oh wow, that's cool they have it. I just checked out their website, it says "never shipped from MR, but we have it in stock". WTH does that mean?

Might be a good buy for the flippers out there... I'm gonna pass since I already have the Bowen Classic, and the SSC PF on order. Feel like I'm pretty set on Thor at this point!

Yep, I'd have to say it all comes down to the fact that it looks more like an inbred version of Frankenstein's Monster than it does the Hulk that we all know and are familiar with. 'Weepy' Banner doesn't exactly help matters any either. And overall it just doesn't have that instant recognition/coolness factor about it to anyone but perhaps those familiar with the artwork in question that it's based upon, and the hardcore Hulk collectors.

I mean don't get me wrong, it's a really great recreation of the original artwork, so if you're a fan of that then it'd be a great statue to have, and you can't fault the quality, but honestly I've never been a fan of the original artwork, so...yeah.

[ratchet]

I guess that makes sense -

Man, I thought everyone was familiar with the original Hulk cover. I mean, I don't collect Spiderman, Superman, Batman - even Iron Man - but I'm familiar with their original covers.

But, yeah - it's not the green goliath that everyone knows. I like the Grey Hulk - it's my favorite Incarnation.

It's too bad - with everything going against, MR cancelling the Marvel line, it being just for die-hard Hulk fans, I guess it had no real shot.

Well, I display mine with pride and will keep encouraging others to buy it!

Yeah too much like Frankenstein's monster. His head is rounder on the actual cover.

That's an interesting question... I mean you have a lot of people here asking for older versions of the Hulk to be released & it is a pretty good piece sculpt wise....

I personally don't like the old block head versions of the Hulk
