Well, with the movie being unveiled tomorrow, the Hulk toys have flooded every Wal-Mart, Target and TRU in my area. Seriously, literally 1/3 of the entire Wal-Mart toy section is devoted to Hulk toys.

Anyway, I was just curious if anyone has picked up any of the Hulk action figures. I had been debating about buying a couple of the figures. I was mostly intrigued by the 13" rotocast Hulk mainly due to an old thread Nathan started about this figure. Today, I went ahead and picked up the 13" rotocast Hulk and one of the regular 7.5" figures. The 7.5 figure has some nice articulation and is an ok figure. But, I love the rotocast Hulk. It rocks. I'll probably go ahead and post a review on that figure.

I was thinking about picking up one of the 7.5" figures, but ended up deciding against it. My Wal-Mart and Target have gotten more of the Hulk stuff, but it doesnt even look like people are buying the stuff. The Hulk Fists and such are on sale already. I might pick up on of the figures later though, but there is no guarente.

Yeah, I think they flooded the market with these toys and grossly overestimated the demand. I got both the figures on sale at Target. And, by the way, who ever thought giving a kid Hulk fists was a good idea? Here little Johnny, put these fists on and act like you are in a total rage and go around the house smashing all the furniture, fixtures and any other breakables. Once your done with that go find you little sister, Sally, and bash her in the head a couple of times. I think that is the last toy I'd want to get for my kid!

I think I've got all the figures except the vehicles. I also don't have the 13 inch figure, but now I'm thinking about getting one.

Some day, I might buy myself some Hulk Hands.

You know, for college use.

These things have flooded the local stores here for about 4-5 months now. I'm SO sick of seeing them.

That said, I picked up the rotocast with dark pants for my son today. It's kewl, and he likes it alot.

[Ramses]

in regards to the fist.

well,how do you take the fustration of life out on someone? Foam hands! expecialy little kids who are just to young to know the terms "Tact" and "respect" so when little Johny (no relation to jkaris or his sons)is picked on,all he needs to do is say "you wount like me when im Angry",slip on the glove and show him who's the master of their domain. I like the idea myself,wish I had a pair of these in Middle school to make people get the point.

[TheOrgg]

When the hands are on sale for 50% off, I'll pick up a pair.

Boffer Hands. Mize.

Hulk toys blow chunks. They're so friggin' boring... I mean, the line really only consists of one character (Hulk, of course) in different poses and with different action features. BFD, I say...

Couple that with the fact that the Hulk toys not only take up shelf space that could be utilized for more interesting lines like MOTU and Ultimate Muscle, but also that they have been peg warmers since the line was released 5 months ago, and I'm fed up with this line before the movie has even been released. I think that the Hulk toys will end up being the 1998 Godzilla toys of this summer. There will be so many left over that the retailers won't even be able to clearance them out.

On a side note, not all the Hulk toys suck arse. The large rotocast figures are very nice (a good size and a great price), and the Hulk fists are a lot of fun. But that's what... three toys out of how many dozens?! Does anybody collect this line?

I just picked up the 13" Roto Cast Raging Hulk. I have to say that I am pretty happy with it. The rest really dont intrest me that much, except for the other Roto Cast figure. $7.99 was a pretty good price for something so big.

[BaltanII]

Yeah, seeing them around for so darn long has really gotten on my nerves. Why in the world would anyone really want so much stuff before there's a major motion picture/franchise to go with it? Doesn't make sense to me.

I haven't really paid any attention to the Roto Cast figures (in my mind, when you've seen one big green guy, you've seen them all), but I love the Hulk Hands! They're so cool! Maybe I'll get one for those times when mimoman's becoming too insolent.

Also, just saw the movie tonight (great stuff!), and loved the character of Bruce's father. Don't wanna spoil anything, but he would make a refreshing and, least to say, interesting figure... or two...

I hate those Hulk fists. I go to Target and little kids have taken them out, put them on and are running around the store going "HULK SMASH"! The madness needs to stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[Sniper33]

I say that 75% of the Hulk fists are out of their boxes. And some of those are cracked, or have that handle (on the inside) ripped out.

I was afraid to even look in here when this topic started thinking people would like these things but I desided to look today just to see what was posted (1:20 ish A.M.). Thank god everyone hates them. The only thing I would get would be the hulk hands, and that would mean a 75% off discount at least. I have no clue what they cost, but im not paying more than 5 for the pair MOC. I didnt like them when I first saw them, and take up valueable shelf space. And they say they are getting rid of U.M. WTF i say to that... WTF. Im with nate thinking, "What were they thinking when they made these?" The hulk hands were a good idea, but they can hurt since they are solid rubber and if they come at you with enough force can really knock you down. They arent a Sockem Boper and surprised no kid has hurt another yet. I mean What if a kid riped out the stick and beat someone with it (damn these sadistic kids today...). Ok i know im getting abit off the wall but they should have thought about what they were going to make before just making something. Im sure there are some cool ones in the bunch, but im not looking nor supporting the cause.

[Adamantiumwulf]

In a couple months all of the stores are goign to be haveing Huge sales on hulk toys. I might pick up a figure or two then.
