Storm Collectibles- Hulk Hogan

[nexus]

Not a huge wrasslin' fan, I sorta followed it in and out. Would probably pick up The Rock, Hulk, Macho Man, and Ultimate Warrior, But depending on price and sculpt a few classic might make the cut like Ric Flair, Jimmy Snuka, Ricky Steamboat and Tony Atlas.

I do like the idea of classic boxers. If nothing else, Ali and Frazier would be my top two. If the Rocky license is floating around would be great to see an update of Rocky (I, III, IV), Apollo (I), Clubber (III) Drago (IV). Regular and fight damaged. Those would be amazing. Actually I wouldn't mind a Ludmilla from Rocky 4. Brigitte Nielson was pretty hot back then and could also be a Red Sonja.

Classic NBA would be cool -- Kareem, Wilt, Bird, Magic would do it for me. Maybe Dr. j. Shaquill is not classic but would also be a good add-on.

NFL is a little tougher with so much turnover and team hopping. Would be cool to pick up a few superstars with highly detailed uniforms.
If they aren't simply focused on sports, there are numerous licenses that would be nice to see. Certainly Star Trek, but plenty of others ranging from The Munsters and other classic TV shows ... to KISS and other rock musicians bands... To movies like Pulp Fiction and Flash Gordon -- all of which have solid fan bases.

Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs figures would be most welcomed.

 

[fistfulmetal]

Championship belt, multiple hulkamania shirts, maybe a sculpt with a headband. Maybe a bd, sweaty head. Gold crucifix. But the belt is key. Or some belt.

You're definitely on the right track. I'd also like to see different hands, to recreate his poses and gestures he would do.

Yes! Hulking Up, the No Sell, hand to the ear, etc.

Exactly.

There's so much potential for an '80s Hogan. Might be a candidate for Most Beloved FOTY.

 

[Chockles]

Agree with everything here ....especially Malone.
Would love to see a young headsculpt with 80s Jazz uniform and a 2000 era Jazz uniform and old headsculpt !
I think you could probably shift 1000+ units in a week in Utah where he is still worshipped

Would also add -
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Young headsculpt and Game of Death outfit
Old headsculpt with goggles and Lakers outfit
.....bring in the NBA and Bruce Lee fans at the same. It'd be an instant seller.

Wow, All you guys are nuts!!! How can you all remember these names? Even some of them I havent heard of, either too young, or im losing my memory. I had to search a few of them and instantly I recognised them right away. Sure are classics indeed. Theres many Ive forgotten until you all brought them up. haha
Sadly Im pretty sure none of these would have been heard of in HK. Just a different culture thing. Though if they are a worldwide phenomenom, thats a different story. This is really good guys. Made me remember the 80's and 90's.

As for Rocky license, Im hoping Hot Toys still has that. Though if Storm has that license, that would be great as well.
Def a top question for Storm, is what other 80's, 90's popular culture/stars/celebas they are looking at.

Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs figures would be most welcomed.

Those would be funky looking figures. Though most if not all will be wearing suits, and that maybe a bit boring to others. Storm are great with doing specific bodies for each personality, and it would be good to highlight their skills in this area.

You're definitely on the right track. I'd also like to see different hands, to recreate his poses and gestures he would do.

This is a good point. If they could tailor make bodies for each character, it would be even better to have tailor made hands too. Not much use for Tyson I suppose since gloves is all he needs haha. Though for wrestlers, so much fun could be had.

Well done you guys.

Hope this dont end up looking like those old stretch armstrong dolls.......gonna be very orange lol.

I want Storm Collectibles to focus on the main parts (headsculpt, body, outfit, base). If this is executed perfectly, I am totally happy. Just a few items that are of great quality. I dont need an unlicenced "Wrestling Champion" title for example.

However, here is what I would love to see:

1.) Highly detailed muscular body featuring Hulk Hogans physique of the 80s including interchangeable arms (one set with a double jointed elbow, comparable to HT new Terminator body or KP 02; the other one with rubber skin comparable to HT Light Armor Thor in order to represent Hogans Python arms adequatly)

2.) Two heads featuring Hulk Hogans likeness (one with a general smiling expression, the other one with his trademark "YOU!" expression. Both with a bandana, however one is red and the other one yellow and both are interchangebale, similiar to the DX Luke Skywalker hair/head

3.) Costume
- red Hulkamainia shirt
- yellow wrist bands
- red tights
- red kneepads
- red and yellow 80s cowboyboots
- yellow Hulkamania weightlifting belt

4.) Alternate costume
- yellow trunks
- white wrist bands
- yellow ringboots with real laces
- yellow Hulkamania shirt

5.) Accessoires
- wearable ripped away Hulkamania shirt to display the famous shirt ripping pose

- USA flag
- hands (1 pair general relaxed, 1 pair shirt ripping gribe, 1 pair fists, 1 "hear the crowd", 1 "You!" finger pointing, 1 microphone gribe)
- "Hulkamania"-microphone
- stand/base either a ring corner with turnbuckle and ropes, similar to the bases Jacks Pacific gave us with their Unmatched Ury Series a few years back or a Hulkamania themed base


Thats it... Some pics to follow what I had in mind when typing this will follow.

Throw in a championship belt(not sure if the newer mattel ones fit...anyone else know?)and this would easily be one of the greatest 1/6 figures of all time.

 

[EVILFACE]

His yellow outfit as an alternate attire? That is his outfit.

If Tyson gets a belt. Hulk must have a belt too. Its fair that way. lol

 

[KingGrayskull]

Thanks guys!

I think we can all agree that we do not need any kind of BS such as a fedora, soundaction or backstage stuff such as lockerroom diorama similar to that Unlicenced Rocky about 1 year ago.

This is what I dont want:

this is better but still totally overloaded with not neccessary accesoires. Just focus on the important stuff...

Again, totally overloaded. Less is more in this case.

However the base could be very similar to the above set. I have always been a fan of the colour scheme of the Hulkamania-Tour ring. Althoughit is not 80s, it would fit in nicely.

Always happy to help. You can tell them that I am here, ready to give input and ideas as much as they want me to. Wrestling has been my life for ages. I bleed Wrestling, so this will be my holy grail if executed right.

Throw in a championship belt(not sure if the newer mattel ones fit...anyone else know?)and this would easily be one of the greatest 1/6 figures of all time.

The problem with a championship belt would be that there seems to be no licence from WWE but just Hogan. I rather have no title instead of a fake/nameless one and let them concentrate on other accessoires. Just look at the title of ZCWO MH07 and you know what I mean. i dont want atuff like this to waste any money. I would prefer a well executed weightlifter belt + cowboyboots over a fantasy title.
A proper title would be something for the customs section I think.

His yellow outfit as an alternate attire? That is his outfit.

Hogan wore both outfits. He used to give his interviews in red tights and cowboy boots (he even turned to NWO in this attire). Of course his wrestling attire was the yellow trunks. However I believe that just the trunks, wrestling boots and yellow Hulkamania shirt would feel a little light. So had the idea of his "out of the ring" attire incl the weightlifting belt. It might be a better eyecatcher when displayed and make you feel getting more for your money. However there is no way they cannot include his true wrestling attire. Even better: you can mix the outfits. Red tights and yellow shirt will look as cool as visversa.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

I don't know how much we can expect from Storm. His tearaway shirt, his gold chain and his bandana would be a good start. A championship strap would be a welcome addition. Alternate headsculpts and interchangeable arms and hands would be gravy, but I don't know how feasible they would be.

[ali032373]

I'd rather have a good knockoff belt than a ripped shirt or an alternative red shirt or something like that. Belt is much harder to make at home than that other stuff.
