How tall is Hulk in the movies/comics?

The Iron Monger by HT is priced at $480 and is 17.5" tall. So full size Monger is roughly 8 feet 9 inches tall (if my math is right). Iron Monger is mainly a "B" list character as well. Sure it was in the film but not many people care about it so for it to still be priced at $480 that says something

I think when people see Hulk's price, many people will pull out on this one

All great points, especially the last one. I gotta imagine with the way HT has been reissuing figures I can't see how someone would be up for paying that much for any of their products as their "limited editions" are usually openeded.

We all are collectors and love this hobby but we gotta be realistic in that there is only so much we can purchase and to have that unknown that a year down the road a more detailed potentially more accessory having piece could be released really puts a hold on jumping the gun if you ask me.

Paying $480 for this or monger is RIDICULOUS! I mean when you can pay $350 for a 1/4 Enterbay piece with a better likeness then a SS PF... HT hulk being over $300 is still madness. I don't know when collectors will see the light. Paying $350 for a 1/4 statue or $480 for 16" piece of plastic?

I ordered the HT 89" Batmobile only because it was a better buy for the price. I actually considered getting the Toynami version and didn't only because it is smaller and 3x the price of HT. Sure it will be better quality, but I am hoping HT will put there hearts into it and really give Toynami a run.

the Batmobile by HT will be a hit I think. I'd have likely purchased it as well but I honestly have nowhere to put it because of its size

Very true. There is something hard about paying statue $$$ for a 12 in rigure.

This will be at least $450 guaranteed.

Aside from the size of him, I dont think it justifies a high cost. There is nothing intricate about him, it cant cost that much.
