If the inner shirt is orange and the outer coat is white, it makes perfect sense that as he transform the outer garment would fall off first, leaving the inner to still be hanging.
Personally, I think this is one of the best Hulk's they've made. It's a grey hulk I think they knocked it out of the park. The Bruce Banner I could have done without but I think if you are a newer collector this is a great addition to your collection.
I agree 100%. The head sculpt and them purposely making Hulk less toned is very accurate to the early Silver Age Hulk. Superheroes didn't get defined or toned until the late 60s to 70s.
I haven't been compelled to buy another Hulk figure since the one from the 80th Anniversary Hulk/Wolverine 2-pack. That one is pretty much a perfect classic comic Hulk IMO and that's all I really need. I actually do like the way the larger head looks on this new figure. But since I have no real need for a gray Hulk, I passed on this set. Great review though.
This is another great looking hulk from hasbro. Still hoping we get a new Professor Hulk done in this style, or possibly even a Marvel vs Capcom themed version like that recent War Machine repaint.
I've recently started using matte finishes on my customs and even adding it to figures who have that "plastic" look to them. These figures, especially Hulk just looks really cheap with the gloss finish (or is it just molded grey plastic), like a toy you'd find in the babies section
In the original The Incredible Hulk comics he was originally Gray not Green, and Bruce Banner turns into the hulk by Night like Werewolf style not by anger
Excellent review! I have the old pre-Toybiz Bruce Banner and REALLY need a better Bruce....but that grey hulk...ugh. I've got the Toybiz grey Hulk and am enjoying that a lot more (just like you said!). As it is, I've dropped my pre-order of this.
This is a great Grey Hulk figure , to me it looks much better than the earlier ones, love the head sculpts and the smoother chest , way closer to the Jack"King"Kirby art work.👍🤘
They gave him a new upper chest and the reason they most likely didn't change the articulation was because they wanted to reuse the same inside arm piece. If they made a cut in the front then they'd have to resculpt that piece too. Right now it's flat and not defined. I am sure the team tried to fix that, but it was cost reduced by management.
I would like a hulk with the short torn pants, And more characters from the hulk family. Where is Doc Samson, A Bomb, Skaar. Where is the love for the hulk fam hasbro?
Personally stoked for this, newer into marvel figure collecting so this is my first gray and banner, so it'll be nice finishing up that part of the collection
Yeah, the old Toy Biz grey Hulk, with it's green shadows on the grey skin, and it's purple shadows on the blue jeans. Back then (and before), Toy Biz didn't have the 'bottle' (courage) to 'step away from the green' when it came to a Grey Hulk figure, or a Mr Fixit figure. It's like they equated the green skin to green money. Toy Biz just didn't have the creative courage that Marvel Comics Group had (HAD...past tense!).
"Hey guys. we're retooling this mold right. Should we improve anything at the same time?" "What!? Of course not! make it worse somehow, just a little bit, but it has to be worse in some way!" "Okay boss, whatever you say."
I got this set for $29 free shipping from Amazon, the biggest problem I have with it is there is no texture on the chest and stomach, but there is everywhere else. I got it for so cheap that I'm going to dissect it, and make it the hulk that it needs to be
Glad they changed the color of Hulk to green, he would look straight copy of Solomon Grundy if they did not changed it. But Grey Hulk would look even more terrifying if he was grey in a live action.
I personally think the best look for the Hulk is gray, but as traditional savage hulk … not joe fixit. And also have him with bright glowing gamma green eyes, and like gamma green veins in his musculature showing the radiation courses through him powering him. So in essence a live action version of Tim Sale and Ultimates Hulk. Visually at least. Definitely most frightening. But I definitely agree with your assessment. What came first Hulk or Solomon Grundy btw?
Thank you once again. I'm that die-head Hulk fan, and I desperately could use the Bruce Banner... great classic look for him, but the actual figure itself could have been soooooooo much better, agreed. Other than the lack of shading on the pants, I love this grey Hulk figure. Admittedly, I almost want Hasbro to figure out the forward butterfly joints... almost. Would it mean I'd be buying a bunch of green Hulks all over again? And for me personally, this is a 1st appearance grey Hulk while the 80th anniversary grey Hulk is a Todd McFarlane-inspired grey Hulk. But what is KILLING me... I really, really wish Hasbro would have made these grey Hulks in more accurate smaller proportions to the green Hulks.
I got it because I’ve only been into collecting legends for a year and a half. I’m also a really big hulk fan. I got this, 20’th toy biz so far for hulk. I really need hasbro to make a 90’s professor hulk now, and a new abomination while they’re at it
Good review. I would have bought Grey Hulk on his own. I've got no interest in the Bruce Banner figure. He looks like my girlfriend's gyno, Doctor Seidman. My favorite Hulk is still Compound Hulk or Christmas Hulk, as I call him.
I think the retro Peter Parker head would look great on this figure. Maybe change the colors to have like purple pants and maybe a different shirt and bam, custom Bruce Banner.
Thank you for this review and all your reviews. I have the Hulk/Banner on preorder off Amazon. Tbh I was going to cancel but I just had to get your opinion. I can sell the Hulk and keep Banner. Thanx again, Shartimus.
Since it's so much lighter than the SCDD Grey Hulk (which only had one set of hands) it doesn't even at least offer a 2nd set of hands for the SDCC Grey Hulk. The two blah-boring heads don't say 'rage' or 'angry'. The soft fleshy chest isn't sinewey, 'stressed', 'straining' or 'roid rage'. The light grey skin is very 'daytime' or worse it's too 90's Marvel Cartoons (ugh!!! not those!). As Grey Hulk primarily was/is a nighttime character (with nighttime transformations), and Stan Lee wanted Hulk grey to be "spooky" and scary...the SDCC Grey Hulk just runs rings around this two pack. Put your $60 towards a SDCC Grey Hulk, it's worth it!
The new Hulk heads look fantastic. I don't mind the smoothed out torso, but why not do the same with the arms? I'd like more out of costume/unpowered versions of more heroes and villains, Steve Rogers in his civvies, Dr Donald Blake etc. So I was looking forward to a Bruce Banner, but this on the old suited bod is disappointing. His head looks like he's still in college. Young Sheldon looks more mature. Some other civillians would be cool. Betty Ross, Ned Leeds or even armed forces types, Thunderbolt Ross, Major Talbot etc.
a partially transformed head or arm with ripped coat would have added more value for the bruce banner figure, they could have added a smoking pipe accessory as well.
I agree with @Shartimus but when you break down 30 for Hulk and 30 for Bruce since Hasbro is over charging anyway it's NOT bad like the amazing friends pack at $80.00.
In the early Silver Age, all of the artists never drew much definition into the muscles. It was only in the 70s that they started drawing them looking like bodybuilders.
I dont know the Top Part of this Hulk seems a little Bit off it dont Match with the arms luckily i have the last Grey Hulk for me, the muuuuuuch Better Option. But i got the Space knight Venom two Pack today.
Love your reviews because of your brutal honesty and all your comparisons with prior iterations. However, I feel you are being ticky tacky about the shoulder joints or the gaps. Doesn't even faze me. As for the lack of muscular definition on the torso, I actually love that. If you read early Silver Age Marvel comics drawn by Jack Kirby, none of the characters have much muscular definition whether it's Hulk or Spider-Man or even Cap so I appreciate the accuracy to the original vs the earlier Gray Hulk which was essentially a repaint and was too ripped. It's only in the late 60s to the 70s that you started seeing a lot of definition in the art. Also the head sculpt is more accurate to the original comic. If anything, this is a faithful rendition to the original comics of that era and is a great figure except for the pins on Bruce Banner's joints.
4:55 Banner's shoulders are on backwards. The sculpted lines on them are the sleeve seams and they're supposed to be on the other side. Check the original figures that use these parts, Coulson and Chameleon have the lines on the back. It's not QC, all Banner figures are like this. The render they showed has the shoulders on the correct sides, but somehow the final product doesn't. First ML Banner figure and they botched it. Makes me so angry I want to smash something.
Same hulk figure with just different head really tired of hasbro giving same body moulds and most frustrating part these 2 packs are for 60 dollars not even worth it. Although marvel select have less articulation compare to legends but still marvel select gives us big chunky highly detailed hulk figure with affordable price.
The bare chest has to be the STUPIDEST idea from the legends team. And that’s saying a lot considering how many idiotic decisions that team has made these past few years. Who tf asked for that? They make it seem like they know so much better than the community sometimes and then someone on that team suggested that they should PAY FOR NEW TOOLING to remove the sculpted detail on hulks chest . . . WHYYYYYYYYYY? How could you possibly think that the community wanted something so random? The legends team has lost all logic and reason. You could’ve put that money into shading, more accesorios, etc. So dumb Dark days of marvel legends 2.0 going strong
Why doesn’t Bruce Banner come with a scared/nervous/stressed face?? He just looks like he’s standing there. Which is effectively all he’s gonna do. Supposedly, this set is supposed to be based on one of the most iconic comic covers of all time and you can’t even properly recreate it because Bruce looks immensely bored with what’s happening.
camera is WAY too close for all that shaking around dude; all that shaking around is making me queasy and its hard to see the figure. Try to avoid that my man.
They did the orange shirt because that’s what it was in the comic book. You’re getting lazy with your videos take a few minutes to investigate before you press record my man.
The ONLY reason they should have retooled Hulk's chest is to give him forward butterfly movement!! The fact that they didn't, and left the pecs completely plain and undefined makes it look ridiculous! 🤷♂👎👎
If the inner shirt is orange and the outer coat is white, it makes perfect sense that as he transform the outer garment would fall off first, leaving the inner to still be hanging.
The Toybiz First Appearance Hulk is much more accurate to Jack Kirby's art
Honestly this Grey Hulk gives me more McFarlane vibes than Kirby

Not having a screaming head for Bruce Banner to recreate the art on the box is a massive missed opportunity
The Banner head sculpt looks young enough to be 1st appearance Rick Jones. But it's still a cool set.
They need to make a new comic abomination and use the game abomination body that will be awesome

HULK SMASH!!! LOVE THE NEW MARVEL LEGENDS GREY HULK AND BRUCE BANNER 2 PACK FIGURES!
Personally stoked for this, newer into marvel figure collecting so this is my first gray and banner, so it'll be nice finishing up that part of the collection
The average marvel legends collector is not a normal breed of human
Great review, brother! Bruce Banner reminds me of Chris Evans and I cannot unsee it!
Looks more like justin bieber
My friend told me it looks like Tom Holland and now I can't unsee it

Ah, damn it. Would've loved to see How the glasses would fit with the Mark Ruffalo head. Wish to see it maybe atleast in community post pics Hopefully

Thanks for This video! I pre-ordered it and can’t wait for it!
I got this set for $29 free shipping from Amazon, the biggest problem I have with it is there is no texture on the chest and stomach, but there is everywhere else. I got it for so cheap that I'm going to dissect it, and make it the hulk that it needs to be
Same. Just got mine 2day
Hasbro told us the hulks torso was brand new when they announced it
I like that they still kept the crushed pipe accessory
Glad they changed the color of Hulk to green, he would look straight copy of Solomon Grundy if they did not changed it. But Grey Hulk would look even more terrifying if he was grey in a live action.

Hasbro needs a reality check. Giving Banner literally nothing, and bare minimum new sculpts, while charging a premium is NOT ethical.
i saw this at the store..should have grab it..
Wouldn’t mind getting these new head sculpts in green or reused for a comic version of gladiator hulk.
I have both grey Hulks from Hasbro and I like this one more, especially the lighter grey and head sculpt. I'd love to see this figure in green.

This hulk looks great, reminds of me of the hulk comic before he became Robert Bruce banner (smart hulk)

I think that Bruce Banner coupd have used a screaming head but The Hood's head should be a good choice for that.
Hulk looks pretty cool
Dope! ...put ur hands up,if U caught dat Target Sale🎯🙌😂
i love my old toy biz gray hulk but this 2pack is relly growing on me
I LOVE IT
I just preordered my gray hulk two pack
0:12 yes my favorite TH-camr
Where is this in stock? Mine is still on pre-order from BBTS.
This one has strong McFarlane vibes. My favorite by far.
they should make the hulk green next time
and update the bruce banner and make the pants purple

We need a comic ‘90s Smart Hulk! And not that version from that one panel with the bunny slippers; a normal version standardly released.
How did you get this so early??!
I'm sitting here watching your review and I'm getting Toby maguire vibes from that bruce banner head. A stylized version but ya. Maybe it's the hair?
The new Hulk heads look fantastic. I don't mind the smoothed out torso, but why not do the same with the arms?

is it possible for bruce banner and egghead to swap heads? I'm thinking about displaying bruce banner with the Green hulk 2 pack.
I agree with @Shartimus but when you break down 30 for Hulk and 30 for Bruce since Hasbro is over charging anyway it's NOT bad like the amazing friends pack at $80.00.
Not bad. But I hope they do a little bit better with the next grey Hulk, Weapon H.
One day I'll get that toy
This Bruce Banner figure looks like a teenager lol
i'm pretty sure they said that this hulk is slimmer than the other hulks. so that's why i think the details on the chest isn't the same
In the early Silver Age, all of the artists never drew much definition into the muscles. It was only in the 70s that they started drawing them looking like bodybuilders.
I think they said hulk was less muscular because this is a first appearance.
I wonder how Bruce would look with the red hood screaming head 🤔
It was perfect for me.
I don't know man, the last thing I want to leave my kids is a container full of plastic, I can see why Shenlong stop collecting.
The Dr Bruce Banner Hulk 2 pack could pass for Victor Frankenstein and the monster
I dont know the Top Part of this Hulk seems a little Bit off it dont Match with the arms luckily i have the last Grey Hulk for me, the muuuuuuch Better Option. But i got the Space knight Venom two Pack today.
