HULK VERSUS! Marvel Legends Face-Off vs 80 Years vs 20th Anniversary vs Marvel Select Immortal 5POA

It's still my definitive Hulk as well. I just wish it came with an alternate screaming head

[@blackhazeification]

I love the immortal hulk

[@5POAFigureReviews]

It's a nice one, for sure.

[@ThornOfSociety]

Your comparison with heads just makes me wish more that Hasbro will with a few minor changes(remove side burns, recolour pants etc) use the 20th anniversary heads on the maestro body/colour scheme to make the 80's animated Hulk. Also still hoping they modify the sculpt to have front butterfly joints so we can do the double fist slam better and add open palm hands for the thunderclap.

[@brentwerley6762]

Love this buck, but would love to see one with two-sided butterfly joints just to get the motion and at least see it in person. I wouldn’t go for the maestro color scheme for the 80s cartoon Hulk, something brighter. Would love to see the cell shading for it though. And a Professor Hulk from the comics would be great!

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Professor Hulk is my dream Hulk figure.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Yes! I would love just once for a Hulk I can pose with the thunderclap! Also, fun fact, I listened to the intro of the 80s Hulk cartoon to get jazzed up for making this video.

[@captainskipper4858]

Bro that brown pants hulk actually looks fire, I might be spending a 100$ lads on hulks to make it

[@brentwerley6762]

Congrats on the 150 vids and thanks so much for the in-depth vid… interesting conclusion you got to, and while I disagreed on some of the individual points, interesting that my two favorite are the ML 20th and 80th anniversary Hulks. I think most people would say that the DST Immortal Hulk is their favorite and I can see why; but nobody talks about how easily the hands fall out and I’m not a fan of the Hulk sculpt (the eyes) for a classic Hulk look. The ML 80th is the iconic Hulk look (including the color and shading, and the ML 20th is a more stylized Hulk which I actually like a lot.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks so much, I appreciate it. Yeah, the right hand on mine was pretty loose. In hindsight, I should have mentioned that. I didn't have any trouble with the left hand, though. I do see why the DST would be a lot of people's favorite, but the proportions bother me too much. The head is just too big, and the arms are too thin compared to the body.

[@brentwerley6762]

@@5POAFigureReviews Definitely agree with you points about DST Immortal Hulk; always thought the Face-Off Hulk was too skinny as well, but otherwise the sculpt end texturing are FANTASTIC. I’ve noticed that with ML 20th Hulk that the shading and head sculpts appear to be designed to look best with natural lighting that comes down on the figure: the colors blend better with the torso still having a vibrant look, and the natural shadowing effect seems to blend the head sculpts more into the body while still emphasizing certain features of his face. He definitely looks more unnatural with the a bright camera light straight on, especially if the whole figure is captured in the view. I think the best shading and color overall comes to the DST Immortal Hulk; Face-Off Hulk is just way too dark.

[@zenquantum1246]

First time viewer. Great presentation with editing & comparisons! I have an unopened 80th, but your head-swap between the 20th and Maestro is a brilliant change. The paint between the two and the accessories from the 20th give me pause. I may want to create that version just because he looks more like the ToyBiz-style ruggedness

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it and that it gave you ideas.

[@Smoke_and_Mirrors23]

Congratulations on the 150th video milestone, great Vlog keep up the great work. I love the head swap segment; I had gotten two Maestro Hulks in error and could not get rid of one, so it stayed in the box until now. After seeing how great the Paul Harding head sculpt (not one of my favorite looks for the green giant) pairs with the Maestro body, I intend to hunt down the head sculpt just to have that variation. BTW you are correct about the Hasbro 80 year and the Marvel Select Immortal Hulks, they were both sculpted by Gentle Giant Studios.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Happy to help! Funny thing is I shot a part where I mentioned Immortal was sculpted by Gentle Giant, but I cut it for time.

[@DanB.0]

I loved this video, versus are your strongest suits, if I may say! Congrats on the 150 videos! I love that you mentioned the fight with Thanos in the MCU. I would have loved to see them fight again but I really think it didn't happen for many reasons, the main one being that they sort of ended up making a joke out of Hulk. He was more for laughs than for fights at some point and he lost the "anger" and wildness that for me defines him. I understand it was meant to be character evolution but when you see the first Avengers movie and he says he's always angry and then you see him having a selfie with kids and thumbs up... I just can't help thinking they disolved the character in bad humour and other meaningless things. So I think that's why we couldn't enjoy that "round 2" we would have loved (and also why I think the ruined the character for me). Hopefully, they do something cool with him from here on but I doubt it with the She Hulk thing, most likely, she'll be the angry one now and not him...

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks, Dan! I love doing the Versus, and people really like them, that's for sure. I agree with you about Hulk. Doing this video really had me think a lot about him and how he has been handled. It seems to me that Marvel Studios has made a very intentional decision from the start to disconnect Hulk from his roots as a man struggling to maintain his temper. In the Norton movie, it was mostly stress. In the first Avengers, he was just "always angry," and then in Ragnarok he was just a fun macho brawler. The only time we have seen a truly unhinged, rageful Hulk was in Age of Ultron, and even then he was under Wanda's influence, which removes a certain level of responsibility from him. I think the MCU is afraid to make him unlikable or non kid friendly, so they have gone the route they have -- to the point where he has become utterly divorced from his pathos and what makes him relatable.

[@DanB.0]

Amazing review! Comparison with everything and other versions of Hulk

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks so much! Keep your eyes peeled I have a new Hulk versus coming soon

[@georgemitri1171]

Excellent Comparision!!! Btw When you mentioned giving up on the Diamond select line, I felt the same with Legends as I've sold my entire Spiderman legends line and replaced each character with the select version. I've personally realized that the 7" is my favorite scale since I still get a decent amount of articulation, accessories and solid paint and sculpt. To this day there hasn't been a standalone release Spidey that can compare to the Select Spectacular since that comes with a peter parker head, all different hands including web holding ones, camera, and a loose mask all for 20 bucks. Also Happy 150!!

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks, George! Yeah, that Spectacular Spider-Man is something special. I originally was Select only until Legends started to really ramp up their quality. Now I reserve Select for the larger scale characters. I can't wait for Apocalypse!

[@blake2697]

Yeah, that is a great figure. If you could still easily find him for $20 he would definitely be the best value figure ever, but nowadays you can only find him for like $65+. At his current price it makes more sense to go for the new Spider-Man Spinneret two pack or spring for the new Mafex comic accurate classic Spidey. I do like 7 inch scale a lot, but 6 inch is kind of the industry standard so it's easier to build a 6 inch scale collection. Unless you exclusively work in 7 inch it's not really worth it now imo.

[@georgemitri1171]

@@blake2697 oh yea I've slowly realized that 7" is my prefered scale. Diamond Select said they were working on putting that figure back in stock, it's just tricky cause it's a Disney store exclusive.

Great video and review. Thanks and happy 150! A huge Greenskin fan from the Silver Age, I have a penchant towards the DST for my dioramas. I have the Immortal and the Planet Hulk. However I also have the 80th Anniversary Hulk and I truly think it is Hasbro's best version of the character. The 20th Anniversary portrait color threw me off from purchasing it, but I love what they did to the highlights on the pants.

Thank you! Yeah, the pants are great, and I do like the 20th heads on the Maestro body. DST has some really awesome Hulks. I don't have the Planet Hulk myself, but I got one for my dad.

Man I saw the 20th Hulk in the Amazon and nearly buy it, but the dark tone of the face what gave me to hold back, I'm hesitant to buy him, and it also quite expensive, there's also some poses that makes the head to the body looks unproportion and makes the head looks wide and big in some view. 80th Hulk is what I'm wanted and he looks more like a comic character hulk but it's hard to find him with a decent price on the market.

[@CBKwldge]

My absolute favorite design for the hulk is the Alex Ross/Immortal Hulk design. To my knowledge, that design has never had a good articulated figure, closest thing is the toybiz galactus wave Grey Hulk variant. I might get the 20th anniversary hulk and one of those 3D printed immortal Hulk heads and try to paint match it to have the ultimate immortal hulk figure. I was kinda wishing we’d get an official marvel legends version for the 60th anniversary Avengers program but sadly I don’t think we will 😔

[@CBKwldge]

Maybe in ten years we’d get the avengers 70th anniversary program and get an immortal hulk but I doubt it. Or if they do a Hulk Anniversary program which I doubt would ever happen because he’s not as iconic as Spider-Man, but we could get a Lou ferrigno hulk like the Spider-Man toei figure, just an idea

[@5POAFigureReviews]
