Just because you don't like his work, doesn't mean that others don't, as so many posts after yours made it evident.
ORDERED...YEAH...right
Grey is up!!!!!!!! ORDERED!!!!!!!!
Good point how many would have a change of heart if there was a Grey release, this I wonder!!!!?
I'll admit if a Grey version came up, I would cancel my Green order and go with Grey, solely to match the PF.
Well I mean ppl that weren't ordering the Green but since the Grey came out they'll order the Green to have a matching pair.
OH....All I know is that I'm getting one or the other. This is a must!
I'm no fan of this bust, but I do see the Kirby influence here. Very prominently in fact. But I agree that most people were probably hoping for something not quite as "classic". My hope was for a more 70's style Hulk, although I probably would've been OK with something more modern. Again, SS has already paid homage to Kirby. Twice now. And with the two most high-end Hulk pieces produced to date. It's time for a different take. Like I said earlier, I wish SS would begin to produce lines within lines by producing silver, bronze, copper and modern versions of a character in their prominent formats like PF and 1:1. I think there's enough demand to make it worth their investment...
It's just funny that they decided to go "classic" on this one. I put classic in quotes because people say this is a Kirby Hulk but I just don't see it. Every time someone does a Hulk that's semi-monster-like people like to throw the name Kirby around and therefore making it sacriligious to put the item down. It's a "King Kirby" Hulk so you are not a true fan if you don't know what the source is.
This ain't no Kirby 1:1 Hulk bust. I see the Kirby influence on the PF, but I don't see it here. This just looks like an Universal Monsters 1:1 bust that is painted green. They put a name plate that says Hulk in the front and used some weird LSB format for the chest area. More power to those of you that are buying it, but I just can't believe that this is what most people here had in mind as a Hulk 1:1 bust. This was a highly anticipated product in this board with all the Hulk fans and although you can see the quality of the sculpt itself, this ain't no Hulk for me.
The Spidey/Hulk diorama was DEFINETLY modern and so was the LSB. Those were freakfests IMO and I wasn't interested in either.
I'd be all for a 70's, Sal Buscema take on the Hulk. I'd love to see a new LSB done in that style so I have a Hulk to go with the classic versions of Daredevil, Thor and Captain America that I own.

I agree in the sense that I see less Kirby in this sculpt than others do. I don't recall Kirby ever drawing him so "teethy" and so freakin' pissed but I prefer this over any 90's version.
Hell, they should've used Bowen's new retro or classic Hulk FS as a template.
