Storm Collectibles- Hulk Hogan

[Chockles]

The Dennis Rodman figure is a work of art with a level of detail in the musculature of his torso, arms and especially his legs and feet. As a big fan of Hulk Hogan I can only dream he is sculpted as well as the Dennis Rodman figure. Can we expect the Hulkster to receive the same attention? Thanks for taking our questions.

Hey dude. No problems. Im sure if you have followed Storm enough or heard from others, they are well known for their dedicated bodies for each character they make. Care and attention are put into each of these, so rest assured on that aspect. Only downfall is getting out their products to their customers and they know about this and sometimes its out of their control. Factories in china can be a hassle.

Storm are a very small team, so you can imagine how much they can actually get done. That is what they told me since Jan/Feb time, so hopefully things have improved since then. Time will tell if their production is up to the job. Keep a look out.

Hogan is so strapped for cash nowadays I don't think killing would be necessary to get his signature. Maybe $25

People like to say Hogan is broke but its not really true.
He lost a lot in the divorce but he is still living large. He is taking on so many endorsements because well, why not? Its all retirement money at this point.
.....he is not exactly 'Ric Flair broke'

I remember reading in an interview he gets free Air Jordans.

No matter if he is broke or not, he was one of my childhood heroes. He was the reason why I ate my stupid vegetable and fruits (lets be not to strict with the prayers though ).

Sometimes it hurts to see your hero go down like this... Same with Bret Hart BTW...

Anyway, I am still a Hulkamaniac!

Oh I have no complaints. I've been very happy with the Rodman figure; in almost every way it's better than the Enterbay Rodman. Now as much as I love this figure I am a bigger fan of Hulk Hogan. If they make a Hullster figure that is half as great as the Rodman figure then we are all in for a treat. Everything they has shown has been amazing and I just want to show my gratitude.

Thats cool. Even if you have complaints, thats still a plus in my books, cos it shows you care about the product and you want it to be the best it can be. Of course, not over the top complaints though lol.

Unlike you, Im not really into the rodman figure, as im not really a basketball fan. The main issue I heard about that figure was the hairsculpts looked like putty when placed on the head. Of course at the end of the day, the final production product will differ from the prototype so things will always look out of place. In general though, apart from that and product release delays, the figure was good. Some plus and negatives when compared with the enterbay figure.

Im not sure if you have heard, but Storm are making a wedding ver of rodman for release. I mentioned it a while back, but i dont have anymore details than that. However, everyones tastes are different, so im glad you liked that figure.

Its good to know you have a big interest in this. Im sure they would be pleased to know that too. I myself would like to see this in person, to compare the size of it to tyson for example. I'll post some pics in here if I get to see more of the figure.

Oh, I'm not a huge Rodman fan either. I actually just bought the body for a Darth Vader kitbash; once I received the Rodman body in the mail I was amazed at how great the sculpting is and the ingenuity in making the left arm removable so it is easier to dress the figure. As I dove deeper into the aspects of the figure I found the feet and hands to have the same great sculpting plus they painted the nails of his hands, all the hands, and his feet. As a fan of the hobby I was impressed with the attention to detail they made and am now absolutely a fan. Now I am not the biggest fan of Dennis Rodman but if they make as great a Hulk Hogan figure as they did with Rodman I will be very pleased. I am a huge fan of the Incredible Hulk Hogan and this seems to be the greatest figure they've ever made of him. I cannot wait. Every pic they have from displays of current toy shows are like appetizers and the Hulk Hogan figure will be the main course.

Partyman Hogan.

That sculpt actually looks pretty good.

Shiiiiit. In a time like this, would this affect this figure?

 

[crazygmpoker]

Yea this is pretty bad after seeing the transcript of what he said, can't imagine people wanting to be associated with him right now. Wouldn't blame them for shelving this figure for the time being.

*To be clear, that linked article references what people thought was the original reason, him using derogatory words in a podcast within context of what people have said to him, but new information pertains to what he said in the video he's suing Gawker for.

Doesn't Hogan have the rights to his name?I believe he used "Hulk Hogan" in TNA as well?

If so,doesn't affect anything regarding this figure,unless Storm decide to cancel it.

 

[Y4NK33 PL4N3T]

Tyson did a lot worse and they're cranking figs out of him, wouldn't worry about Hulkster.

 

[The Mike]

I'm not sure if Hulk has the trademark to his name although I would think so at this point. Like Rock posted the bigger fear is that Storm will cancel or delay it because of this controversy. I doubt they'd cancel outright after putting so much time but in order to make sure they've got the highest amount of possible sales, I could see them delaying it.

Tyson did a lot worse and they're cranking figs out of him, wouldn't worry about Hulkster.

After how long though? This issue is fresh and is kind of in a different category. Tyson's missteps are from a while ago and he has rehabbed himself in the media eye so you've got a different situation there.

I had thought about that too, but look how much time he's had to smooth it over, along with The Hangover movies, etc. I don't think they'll wash their hands of this figure entirely, but right now would probably be the absolute worst time to release it.
