YAY a Banner fig! 
You know what would be cool for Banner accessories if they do put this figure out, what if they gave the figure alternate forearms/hands, tearing shirt and alternate head neck to depict him in early Hulk out where he starts to go green with all his veins and stuff.

That would be awesome indeed.

That would be awesomely expensive indeed.
Ever so slightly altered to fit.
Why would that be so expensive, it's just a few extra parts, other than alternate Hulk heads, what else could he come with. A torn shirt and a few spare parts aren't such out there accessories as to raise price too high.
Look at the T-1000, 2 heads, spare arms, 2 whole outfits.
They have to do something to sweeten the Banner package for the more casual buyers because I don't think there's enough die hards to sell out the usual HT run and by the time he ships, Avengers hype will have faded and we'll be too far off from Avengers 2.

OK, let' follow this thought through. Your post said...
...so for body parts that's forearms, hands, head and neck. For clothes it would mean ripped shirt and trouser. Fair enough.
But what about the chest that is exposed through the ripped shirt? How would that work? As soon as you have a figure with an open necked shirt, you will at least partially see their chest, a ripped shirt would exaggerate this tremendously. To me, an alternative paint job on the chest says 'alternately painted body'.
And how exactly would you swap the forearms without having an alternately painted chest/body? As far as I am aware, you cannot just 'swap out' the forearms on any figure (could be wrong).
Finally, any alternate heads just love pushing up the price of a figure by $30 before you even get a chance to open up the shipper box.
It's a great idea my friend, I'd love to see it. I thought MR brought great humanity to the role and a sleeper hit of a figure would be amazing. But the kind of additions you speak of would just kill the price, just to get it all to work.

Man, how many figures is the Avengers line up to now, 10 ? 
You're taking it much further than I meant. I don't mean to depict him really changing as far into a Hulk out like you describe, just some green tiny to his skin, green eyes and some tearing into his shirt sleeves, no need for chest work or anything else. Yeah it's basic and almost pointless to even do but it cheaply adds value to the figure as it will still cost a lot even without such accessories. You're talking DX territory and while it would be really cool it's too much of an added cost.

Not a bad idea, but better banner accessories, would be an alternate head for hulk... and alternate jointed arms.....
You could do alternate head, but unless HT plans for it I doubt the build of his shoulders will allow you to change arms out unless you are a skilled customizer.

who's to say? we've no idea how the shoulder joint is designed
I'm just going by every other HT shoulder to date. I would think if HT saw value to jointed arms they would just do them from the start.

They should have given him a teddy bear:
LOL, my dog is in love with this teddy bear. He loves pulling on the fuzzy hair!

They could also give Banner these extra Hulk hands (which we are not getting 
)

Interested to see more of this Banner figure but not sure if it's one I'll get, not sure where he'd fit in in my Avengers display
