Okay, this is one of those impulse buys. I was at Target with the wife and I saw this in the express check-out section. This is a grey Incredible Hulk puzzle eraser made by Puzzle Eraseez. It is the now popular blind packaging deals where each package comes with two mystery figures. You don’t know what you have til you buy it and open it. I only bought one package but was lucky to get the grey Hulk. There is also a green Hulk (which I want) and a Red Hulk (which I want not so much). They all look exactly the same of course, just a different color. The other figures included are four different versions of Spider-Man, two Iron Mans, a War Machine, a Silver Surfer, and a Captain America. Needless to say, I will probably end up buying a couple more to try and get the green Hulk. Oh yeah, the other one I got was an Iron Man.
New Pictures of Avengers Movie Hulk Action Figures
The London Toy Fair is going on right now and someone was able to take a picture of the Incredible Hulk action figures coming out for the Avengers movie. Some people are a bit upset that he has brown pants instead of purple like in the comic book. Eh, I am okay either way as long as he is in the movie and he kicks butt. Figures look pretty good from the shot. You can also see what the packaging will look like for the figures also. The US Toy Fair will be in a couple weeks in New York City so we are sure to get much better pictures of the figures plus other Hulk stuff, like the upcoming Hulk Lego figure. So stay tuned to this site to see all the latest Hulk pics in one spot!

Smash! The Incredible Hulk Cologne from the Avengers Movie
Okay, I am not going to do a post for every single piece of merchandise that comes out for the upcoming Avengers movie but I had to do this one. Jads International is releasing a series of cologne after each of the major characters from the Avengers movie and of course the Hulk has his own. The packaging and graphics look really good for the cologne but just wondering how many people are actually going to be buying any of these. This is the description of the Hulk’s cologne: “Very unusual and rare materials have been brought together to create a woody aquatic cologne evoking both a serene sense of timeless freedom and a single-minded, unbridled passion for life. Yuzu, bergamot and tarragon create clean, clear top notes along with unexpected accords of water lily and nutmeg. SMASH! then carries an intense woody drydown enriched with Indian sandalwood, vetiver, musk and sharp cedar. Complimentary to a full range of emotions, it wears well no matter where-at work, the lab or an evening out on the town.” To see the other cologne’s, take a look at this site.
New Shots of the Incredible Hulk in the Avengers Movie on Ang Pows
Thanks to the eagle eyes of Smashin!, comes these great new shots of what the Incredible Hulk will look like in the upcoming Avengers movie in an action pose. These images are on Ang Pows that were just given out by the Star Cineplex Sibu in Malaysia. And if you don’t know what an Ang Pow is (like me), they are red envelopes given out in Asian cultures during the Holidays as a way of wishing good luck and warding off evil spirits. Only a few more months till the Avengers movie! Hulk is going to look great!!
Incredible Hulk HeroClix set
HeroClixs have been around awhile and they finally have come out with a set dedicated to the Hulk. There have been a number of Hulk HeroClix figures over the years but he finally gets some respect and gets a set dedicated to him. The set includes a bunch of Hulk and Hulk related figures, including those from the Hulked Out Heroes storyline. Given how tiny they are, they do have a lot of detail and the paint applications are usually pretty good. As you can see from the picture, the set includes the Savage Hulk, Joe Fixit, Cosmic Robot Hulk, Bruce Banner, Rick Jones, Skaar, Amadeus Cho, the Leader, the Abomination, the She-Hulk, Lyra, Red Hulk, Doc Samson, General Ross, Hulked-Out Aim soldier, AIM soldier, Leader’s Humanoid, and Hercules. The Ultra Hard figures from this set included the Hulked-out versions of the Avengers from the comic book storyline.
Sneak Peak of New Bowen Designs Savage Hulk Statue
There are a lot of statue companies out there but Bowen Designs is the best when it comes to making statues that really capture the feel of Marvel characters in the comic book. The best Hulk statue out there right now, at least in my opinion, is the Planet Hulk full size statue that Bowen Designs did a few years ago but this new one will definitely give it a run for it’s money. It does a great job of capturing the look and feel of the Savage Hulk. I think it comes the closest to looking like a Buscema Hulk from all the other Hulk statues that Bowen Designs has created. As long as the paint application comes out looking good, this will definitely be a Hulk statue to get.
Avengers vs. X-Men: Hulk vs Emma Frost
The next big event for Marvel is the upcoming Avengers vs X-Men. Not exactly sure what is the driving force to make each group fight each other but they end up paring off and fighting one on one. From the image that was released by Marvel, it looks like the Hulk will be involved with the storyline and he will be going up against Emma Frost. Emma has her diamond form which is obviously strong plus she has her mental abilities. Of course, the Hulk has shown multiple times in the past that he has a resistance to mind control so that will not help her at all. Another Hulk image drawn by Carlo Pagulayan.
Hulk Related Toys from the Upcoming Avengers Movie
Unless you have been living in a rock for the last two years (and if so, then welcome back!), you of course know that the Avengers movie is coming out this summer. And what kind of comic book superhero movie would there be without an onslaught of toys and merchandise. Given that the Hulk will play a big role in the movie, there will of course be a number of different Hulk toys. There will be a 3 3/4 inch Marvel Universe type figure as shown below but there is a bunch of other stuff, including the always fun Hulk fists. The movie is coming out this summer but it sounds like the toys will starting hitting the shelves by early March.

Incredible Hulk #19 Cover Original Artwork Kyle Hotz
In case you don’t know who Kyle Hotz is, he is a very under-appreciated comic book artist. He does an amazing job on comics that deal with horror or the macabre. He also did a great run on the Incredible Hulk back in 2000 with writer Paul Jenkins. I was lucky enough to get ahold of the cover he did for issue #19, it shows a great image of the savage Hulk, Joe Fixit, and Bruce Banner all twisted together. It really shows the horror side that Kyle is known for. One cool thing he did was to get the smoke effect around the Hulk, he used his fingers so you can see his finger prints on the artwork.
