[@TheDrRandomness]

One of the best marvel selects. I remember when selects were glorified statues. We are itching our way closer to getting more articulation but keeping the same adult collectible feel with the paint apps and details on figures. If only hasbro learned something from diamond select.

[@DisplayingModelBehaviour]

It took a while but we got there!

[@joseortega7815]

They need to give us an updated Wolverine and Captain America.

[@aFoxyFox.]

I like this new version of "inching our way" haha "itching our way" that is awesome! Diamond Select only sometimes manages to scratch my itch, otherwise some of their figures look pretty weird and even feel very stiff (in the past anyway), but some of the designs or sculpts are so cool seeming to me and they almost always look higher quality or fancier than Marvel Legends while being roughly the same prices sometimes or even less than some of the Marvel Legends on the after market occasionally. I actually have a lot of Diamond Select figures, a lot of which are boxed as well, and I even have "Art Asylum" figures which was some earlier thing or connected somehow. I'm excited to get them opened some day because the boxed are pretty insane seeming lol they are so humungous and take up so much space. I have some from all kinds of different series besides Marvel. I'd probably like to get that gigantic red robot Maximilian from Disney's The Black Hole someday too, but it is a low priority. I want Mephisto to be re-released and I'll probably get him, but I also think he looks sort of horrible and ugly as compared to some of the comic appearances where he might look cooler to me, maybe they could improve it, but even if they just re-release it, I'm likely to purchase it, the currently available versions are too expensive. If the that gift Mephisto has been kept, which I think it should absolutely be kept, I'd like to see that figure make more appearances in the videos for comparisons and appear behind scenes. I'd also like regular appearances of all Diamond Select figures that are available to re-appear with the Marvel Legends and others, like Titanium Man, Mephisto, Hulk, and whichever others you may have or get. Some good ones to consider adding for comparisons might be the Sabretooth, and if you can tolerate over-large types that seem like video game bosses (which is how I like my villains to me) then the Magneto and a certain version of Carnage as well. Cable also looks pretty cool and I don't have that one, and I've also wanted a closer look at the Psylocke. They probably have many others that I'd be interested in. I have some kind of almost classic looking Cyclops, brown and possibly also yellow Wolverine, Sabretooth and Zombie Sabretooth, Magneto, Ghost Rider, Daredevil possibly but I'm not entirely sure, Mar-Vell, Gambit, Spider-Man in two different versions, Taskmaster from the Disney Store so in an original costume and not the MCU film version, Abomination, Titanium Man, Thanos, and then lots from other franchises which aren't Marvel, and I might have missed some other Marvel ones, I have the Red Hulk, Apocalypse, and Beta Ray Bill all on pre-order as well. I'm interested in The Watcher sort of, but then also kind of iffy on it, it looks undeniably perfect and I like it way more than whatever the Marvel Legends has just released for a Watcher character, but I just don't know if I need more characters with giant heads other than M.O.D.O.K. Oh yeah! I just read another comment below and I remembered I have Colossus and Storm as well in the Diamond Select forms, and I'm alright with Storm at that height and I definitely wanted a big and imposing Colossus figure! Oh yeah! Another comment reminded me that I have a Destroyer figure as well! Oh and that reminded me that I have some version of Thor too in the Diamond Select form!

[@antoniocdechavez4409]

Marvel Select has limitations on how much articulation they can put on a figure. However, they have progressively been able to add over the years. Believe me, they've come a long way from almost being a statue to even getting foot swivel and double knee joints. The Select Hulk is my favorite between the two. However, I do collect both scales. I've pre-ordered Marvel Select Apocalypse, Red Hulk, Vision and Beta Ray Bill.

[@WiGgYof09]

I have select Hulk and Legends Hulk and it is hard to choose for me. The Select head sculpt is exactly as Dave said, looks like someone posing vs. someone that is actually mid yell. I also really like posing Legends Hulk with those butterfly joints all the way back. Select wins on paint and those feet though, plus the size. If I had a Legends Hulk head the same size as the Select one I think Select would win hands down, even without the butterflies.

[@saintjuvinile]

Dave please just keep both of them. exception from your rule...just like you mention...80th for your main Hulk, put the robot hulk head on Select and pose him as cyborg Hulk. Muaaaah perfect!

[@bx229]

Can’t wait for the Red Hulk version confining out…that said…. Love the vids! Love that Selects Hulk! Love that shirt! BC 4 life! 2Sweeeeet🤘🏼

[@DisplayingModelBehaviour]

Just too sweeeeeet! :)

[@DaikaijuDiscussions]

I much prefer the legends, it's more dynamic and scales better with other figs. Plus I just like how he looks more, it reminds me of the 90s cartoon or Earth's mightiest heroes. It works way more for avengers and other hulk villains for me.

[@DisplayingModelBehaviour]

I can totally appreciate that

[@marklawson2004]

So glad you finally got him. Had mine awhile and I'm so pleased with him. Looks great with my Legends Avengers.

[@ChewieEst]

The torn shirt definitely completes the figure!

[@DisplayingModelBehaviour]

Darn near essential!

[@tyestancil2783]

When it comes to the big guys, Select does a mighty fine job. I have this one in my MVC display and his massivness is quite handy next to the SC Zangief. The 80th looks him right in the eyes but the Select shrinks him down a bit.

[@scottroxford5715]

I wanted to get this guy but after my bad experience with a NEW IN BOX Titanium Man, so glad I didn't, I'm fine with the 20th anniversary Hulk.

[@xeno8484]

The grey hulk looks in scale next to the select hulk. Can’t wait for the Red Hulk select.

[@DisplayingModelBehaviour]

Yeah he looks good!

[@micklestapler4]

I have this chunky boy in my Hulk display with all his buddies and I gotta say I love him 😍 lol he's so big (that's what she said) but seriously this is one of my favorite figures. I agree with the butterfly joints, Its a shame it doesn't have them but still a great figure. Like you said that price point is what sold me.

[@DisplayingModelBehaviour]

You get your money's worth!

[@juanarasa2298]

Best Hulk action figure ever

[@A_Guy_Named_Hunter.]

Imo this is the greatest hulk figure of all time, mine is in his original packaging and is a hefty price.I hope your enjoying this beaut, wish I could unbox him 🥰🔥

[@vladimirlvov5395]

This one face is too insane even for Hulk. ML 80th Hulk one love. Further more for me ML Hulk size is perfect comparing for example with another cool big guy Select Juggernaut - ML Hulk a bit smaller, but no doubt stronger. IMO

[@jameslohr4943]

Mine is still in package, waiting for my new setup in my new house to be ready. Great review!

[@aFoxyFox.]

Also, if you don't have the shirt accessory from Hasbro, you can rip up a piece of paper-towel / kitchen-roll, or cut up a hand towel or something lol. I really enjoyed this review and the final rating as well, the figure looked really nice, the comparisons were a lot of fun, everything looks great visually, the colors were so nice, and I also like the Dr. Doom with the lighter and brighter colors. There were a lot of jokes and silly things said throughout the review which I appreciated, and I also noticed and laughed at various small bloopers or Easter Eggs like the sound of something falling while in the audio mode early on, and also almost saying something in the black & white mode but then not being able to think of what to say and going into mup mup mup or whatever lol it sounded like maybe "What will the neighbors say" or something might have made sense there, but I love little things like that and videos to be goofy and slightly broken like old "Public Access" television lol. The messier the videos, while still being high quality, I think there could be a lot of enjoyment in just having silly elements going on and things seeming much more loose and real. I also really liked the relatable and true "seed in the teeth" reference haha, which I recently went through, and helps humanize all this sort of thing, including the reference to the back butterfly joint anatomy stuff also and the observation about how it looks like a person posing and frozen for a picture "gah ih yeh?" ( "Got it yet?" because they have to keep their mouth opened for the artist to capture the pose haha) rather than how the other Hulk seems to be in the middle of action or dialogue potentially, which is an important point too and important also for artists to note. So there was a lot of commentary in this video which was entertaining and also useful and relatable, making it one of the better figure reviews. You've not done too many or for too long and they are already improving rapidly. See, these are very intelligent things that end up being brought up and they help people to really carefully think about these figures and not just blindly buy things, but to really give it a little more time and use their minds when looking at and comparing the nuances of a sculpt or design. I'm about to re-watch all the Robocop films now.

[@princebloodgrave8097]

I picked him up, last year, and use him as a "Robot" Hulk, cause of the extra head. :D As for the waist, mine does turn, a little bit, side to side.

[@prestonkanoa8114]

Congrats Dave on getting this awesome marvel select hulk!! Yes butterfly joints could have been added and clap hands to do that hulk clap!! Hope we get more hulk down the line besides red hulk!! Great video!!

[@OneColdMonkey]

Pre-ordering this chonky boy last year is what got me in to collecting! Without him I wouldn't even be here! I wound up deciding to make my focus MCU figures, but he's still my Hulk. I've never liked any of the Ruffalo Hulk figures I've seen. Gotta go with the classic.

[@JayWoods483]

We are similar in the sense the Immortal Hulk got our hobby's running. I collect comic based so you know a product is THAT good when it can be used in both.

[@aFoxyFox.]

You can be here even without collecting! Because David!

[@OneColdMonkey]

@@aFoxyFox. Oh yeah! He doesn't even collect MCU but here I am. He's a fun positive guy who loves the hobby and that keeps me coming back!

[@aFoxyFox.]

@@OneColdMonkey Absolutely, I have so much fun on the channel, it is great to be able to chat with like-minded people and to enjoy David's fun personality all the while, I've never quite experienced anything like it anywhere else online (or anywhere at all for that matter)!

[@comix1017]

Glad that finally someone agrees with me about this figure, I think he's great and this is absolutely my go-to Hulk for my classic Avengers/Marvel heroes shelf. I've seen the 80th anniversary Hulk in person a couple times and I had him pre-ordered and I just didn't like the figure, I wasn't a fan of the shade of green (too dark) and I didn't really like either of the face sculpts. I didn't even know that this Select version existed until I saw it at my local comic shop and I thought for sure with the size and weight it would be at least 50-75 bucks, but they had him for the 29.99 price and they were having a 20% off sale on all toys that day so it was an instant buy for me! I had finally found my classic Hulk! Then when I had put some pics up on a Facebook group a couple people said that the figure was way too tall or lacked the articulation to go with a Marvel Legends display and I was like, well sorry but, gotta disagree. I think the size is absolutely perfect, I want him to be that big when compared to the other Avengers and I have no problem with the joints/style being slightly different from the legends figures, I think he looks fantastic alongside "my" classic Avengers - the 20th Cap, Iron Man (AI version is the one I like the best), and Thor (painted the eyes on the Ragnarok figure)

[@DisplayingModelBehaviour]

Great minds thinking alike there!

[@blaketarpley8174]

There is absolutely waist swizzle but it is very tight. I made a fake butterfly on this guy by rotating his shoulder joints to the back and swiveling his bicep joint and bending his elbows.

[@feridradoncic2237]

It's also his 50th anniversary of the character

[@brendanorourke4727]

The waist does swivel, but it's super tight. No butterfly joints, but the arms can move further forward than the Legends which is better than back only butterfly joints in my opinion. I believe Legends and Select hired the same studio to sculpt both of these figures, and the Select sculpt really feels like an improved second draft. That being said, the Select is too big for my diorama action shelf, so I have to keep both. Woah is me

[@aFoxyFox.]

haha Woe is me is a great ending, I love your version especially lol it makes me think of Bill & Ted. How do people find out all about these behinds the scenes details like who sculpts these and all that? I'm kind of interested in such things and would like to know more, and more specifically, I'd like David to know more and know where to find it so he can bring it up in the videos where I can conveniently learn about it all!

[@brendanorourke4727]

@@aFoxyFox. I don't remember where I got that bit of info specifically, but I think it was a Fwoosh livestream. Major manufacturers like Hasbro don't typically disclose what work is done in house and what is contracted out, so we civilians have to just wait for those in the know to bless us with these jules. Luckily Select credits sculptors so I can tell you for sure that Immortal was done by Gentle Giant studios.

[@aFoxyFox.]

@@brendanorourke4727 Thank you so much for explaining all that, yeah I'd love if this information was just straight up available, I think the artists and the teams totally deserve the credit and recognition for their work, those are definitely jewels of information and nuggets of gold that I'd love to collect and know about, and also to keep track of their work, like if they post their sketches and stuff, I wish they were allowed to. There are so many talents just being eaten up by these corporations and not really supported when they try to do anything much for themselves or on their own.

[@ducksoda7]

I’m with you. I think the 80th Anniversary Legends is the superior of the two. The articulation is great and I actually like the headsculpt better

[@WiGgYof09]

Select Hulk seems more rugged, like a hand drawn comic look. Legends looks more refined, like a digitally drawn cartoon. I feel like the Select would look great in a display fighting a bone claws Wolverine while the Legends looks like he should be with the Avengers.

[@juggernaut3338]

I just need the diamond select juggernaut with no helmet

[@LLWDLWLYFE]

Cosmic hulk with the with the robot head

[@DisplayingModelBehaviour]

Ah yes that’s the one!

[@rulyarmaghetto]

This is an amazing figure, especially if you’re willing to shell out for a custom head. But I still prefer the 80th and 20th Hulk by just a bit.

[@darricksandoval28]

I never owned a select figure but this one looks really good! Thanks for the content Dave

[@Bocalt]

That's one to get

[@TheQuebecDragon]

Good point about the 80th Hulk head feeling more "alive" than the Select. However, I think I might actually like the head sculpt of the Select more... except for the eyes. The eyes don't seem quite right. I do prefer the bigger body and color variations on the Select, but the lesser articulation is a bummer. Articulation is much better than how they started, though. I do not like the bigger feet on the Select, they seem silly and out of proportion. Head seems a bit big, but I can live with it. I'll be honest, I love the Marvel Select figures I got, especially for the big guys, and I'm always pleased when I open one (okay, I like my Watcher, but I miss articulated legs) . Always lots of bang and value for your buck with Select, as opposed to Marvel Legends where it's a crap shoot. That Human Torch is a bit too big for Legends scale, unless you put him in the back of the display, but what a gorgeous, underrated figure with wonderful translucency, a great flaming stand and nice accessories. It "torches" the Marvel Legends Torches.

[@ThunderNerve]

My opinion : All we need that full face grinning head sculpt It will be 90 points from me If it include butterfly join to do clear thunderclap Gonna be 100 points But then again, you’re absolutely right, This is nowhere immortal hulk Immortal hulk supposed to have thick upper eye sockets And darker green skin from savage hulk So , you done a very very good review, All the point lift up in your video 🍻🫶👏👏

[@seanmaurice9072]

According to their licenses they are limited to only having a certain amount of articulation than Hasbro has as well as size.

[@secretsociety81]

I have select Punisher and Hulk Both are amazing

[@DisplayingModelBehaviour]

got the select immortal hulk vs select abomination display and other hulk for vs wolverine or avenger display love that figure

[@TheDrexLord]

He kinda just looks like the legends one but up scaled but still and upgrade in my eyes because it's bigger however one thing I really wish this figure had or even a legend one is clapping hands

[@joseortega7815]

I love comparing the Marvel Legends big guys to the Diamond Select ones. Hulk, Thanos, Juggernaut, and Colossus are some that I have doubles of and I can't decide which one I like over the other. You're absolutely right when saying that there are certain qualities that one will have that the other does not. Can't wait to get the Legends and Select Apocalypse figs that are up for pre-order now.

[@titanguy7316]

Thanos and Colossus are fine in ML, IMO, but Diamond Select does the other two better for me.

[@feridradoncic2237]

Based on the comics

[@TheMattTrakker]

The select one is infinitely better. If the 80 year one had butterfly joints that actually functioned and allowed the arms to go forward, it'd be closer I don't understand the comments about the select one being a boojie alternative (more expensive) either, since...it's not. The Hasbro Hulks aren't released at the basic figure price points, so they've always been the same price or more expensive than this select.

[@aFoxyFox.]

It isn't necessarily meaning, or the way I interpret it anyway, that they are literally more expensive (but they perhaps had been in the past), but possibly that they look fancier and higher quality? I took it to mean that they at the very least are fancier looking because they look like fancy painted and sculpted statues, but are now roughly the same price or even less than some of the Hasbro figures which very many times look totally cheap and garbagy sometimes.

[@JayWoods483]

ASD I am a DST MS collector & I too feel the same as you. The MS looks like the bigger brother to the ML. I do not consider the MS an alternative to the ML at all, in fact they both earned their respective places on the shelf with their work. I find the details in the MS better and the paint applications are over the moon when it is compared to a MS character of the same.

[@JayWoods483]

@@aFoxyFox. Good perspective. DST MS might scare off some consumers as some of DST products look more artistic in detail in comparison. However, I have never encountered an issue paying more for a DST then a Hasbro in Canada. They went for about the same price but now Hasbro has gained the lead. I have been replacing certain ML figures with the MS versions (Magneto, Sandman, Jugs, Rhino, and Abomination) and so far there has only been two real disappointments (Elektra and Cap Mar'Vel) that were unpassable statues. Still, the accessories make the DST MS worth the money. The MS Silver Centurion or the Human Torch are perfect examples of this. And if you don't care about accessories, the Titanium Man.

[@aFoxyFox.]

@@JayWoods483 Awesome! Any other recommendations for great Diamond Select figures can be mentioned here (no matter the price or availability) and I'll look them all up! Everything you replaced your Marvel Legends figures with make for so much more imposing versions, I really like what you've done!

[@aFoxyFox.]

@@JayWoods483 I agree, for me the fun with legends is how they often feel very much like toys one can play with comfortably and the consistency between the figures, and then the Select figures are like movable showcase pieces that look really fancy to my eye and less stereotypically "toy"-like, but I love the feeling of Marvel Legends as well and how they can be posed or I feel it is a lot easier to get a feeling of playing with them.

bruh, these are selects, they are not hard to get. diamond keeps reissuing them. you can get that super old now but still super awesome Juggernaut for like regular price. it's companies like Hasbro and NECA that create this artificial scarcity to get us buying everything in sight. stoked for you, though. he looks great in the display. 🤙

[@TheMattTrakker]

Their re-runs used to be way further between than they seem to be now. That's why the secondary market price on a few of the selects were and in some cases still are, nuts. I haven't checked lately, but to name a few that were really high - Lizard, Rhino & the Destroyer. As far as Neca creating artificial scarcity, I can't tell if they're actually doing that or if they're just a smaller company. I feel like they're leaving a ton of money on the table by not reissuing or producing more of a lot of their TMNT figures if it's just an issue of them purposely limiting production. I don't believe they own their own factory like Hasbro does though, so I'm less inclined to believe they're actually doing this. Would like to read about it if you have evidence to the contrary though, might change my opinion of them.

I don't get people that conflate weight with quality. If this Hulk were half the weight, but still had all the sculpt, paint, and articulation, it would sti be the same quality figure worth the price.

[@DisplayingModelBehaviour]

Not really. Half the weight would mean he's probably hollow and more fragile.

[@christanmartinez1238]

Clayface from McFarlane is a good example of a nice sculpt but is cheap feeling, hallow, and fragile. You can feel the quality is questionable based on weight, especially for bigger size characters.

[@WiGgYof09]

@@christanmartinez1238 but it doesn't change how it looks on a shelf. I have the Clayface figure and I don't think it being heavier would change my opinion of it. In fact, I'd like it if the figure was a bit lighter on top as it's a bit top heavy. All things being equal, I don't think weight it really a sign of quality in a figure. I think it is just something people feel ought to mean high quality. For other items it would mean higher quality, but not toys.

[@christanmartinez1238]

@@WiGgYof09 I disagree but to each their own. I don’t just own figures to put on the shelf. I want to do photography with them, and pose them. The feeling of a heavy figure vs that of a hallow one adds to the premium feel for me.

[@toylips]

I know what you mean, bro. it's like the price point is the price point for figures in the line. they just average them all out. they don't break down the weight to the gram and then adjust it by the penny. they average it out across their lines. so they don't go insane. a character who's supposed to be larger is going to use more plastic. a person would probably skip a wolverine toy because he has 25 of them already, not because he uses less plastic, right? I don't know. I love all of it and all of you, I'm just trying to say I know what you mean about that, @fiama98 😅

What you said when you went to forbidden planet and you picked up the Marvel select thing and you were saying wow this thing is really heavy and just like that one I have several figures that are big beefy chunks of plastic as you would say but I tell my best friend this isn't only a toy this is a sister beater

[@tamashorvath224]

I don't mind missing out on select they have a tendency to keep the popular figs in circulation.

[@DisplayingModelBehaviour]

Yeah they're often not hard to find!

[@inhaledfarts4221]

Gentle Giant is the only reason Marvel Select is still making decent figures.

same as me Diplays I walked into the comic shop and clouds opened angles appeared then there he was HULK!!!!!

@@DisplayingModelBehaviour Would a hot water bath help loosen a waist swivel? It usually works for other parts.

Thanos easily beat Hulk during the Infinity War, because he already had a collection of the Infinity Gems. Without them, it may not have been that easy.

I didn't either. I've missed the last couple which kinda sucks (and by kinda I mean really sucks 😞) hope you had a great day on the beach ⛱️ definitely very envious lol see you in the next one Thomas

[@latinlover1596]

Oh yeah and I enjoy your content

[@JayWoods483]

I have both and each requires its own special place in my collection. Immortal Hulk feels like quality and maybe have a shelf life of FOREVER. Articulation isn't such a grand deal for me, as once posed the product is on the shelf. I never experienced any problems with portrait expression, however I would have preferred an alt head instead of the Robo-Hulk. Thankfully, I did not experience any issues with stiff parts at all.

[@DisplayingModelBehaviour]

He’s definitely an absolute gem!

[@JayWoods483]

​@@DisplayingModelBehaviour DDMB - I would love for you to do more DST MS reviews. MS does a great job in character selection, paint and detail. They are bound by contractual conditions to Marvel to refrain from extra articulation, reserving that treat for Hasbro only. Knowing this makes accepting MS even better.

[@TheQuebecDragon]

@@JayWoods483 Is that true about being limited in articulation by actual contract? First time I hear about it.

[@JayWoods483]

@@TheQuebecDragon From indications of the review videos I have watched, each reviewer had stated this. I assume it is fact.

[@JayWoods483]

@@TheQuebecDragon The source of this information are other youtubers reviews. To substantiate would require actually knowledge of the agreement which I do not have. I hope that DT MS re-use this sculpt for a Maestro because the size would fit perfectly on any 6 inch action figure collection.

[@titanguy7316]

I'm still trying to get my hands on one. In my figure display I have the original Diamond Select Incredible Hulk battling the Diamond Select Juggernaut, but I wanted to replace him with this one [maybe make the stance look cooler if this Hulk's hands can fit into Juggy's, almost like they're in a shoving contest - I haven't seen anyone try that grappling posing though, so IDK if it'd work like I'd think...]

[@nostrathomas8057]

Hey Dave! I do like that Hulk as well. I did notice though that there are some vertical lines up by the neck bone parts. They're not colored in,just green but it looks like they had plans to maybe do more Mecha details but didn't paint. U see what I'm talking bout?

[@DisplayingModelBehaviour]

Dude I noticed those too. Maybe they were mech related.

[@nostrathomas8057]

@@DisplayingModelBehaviour right right. That's what I was thinking. Idk if that's gonna bug me or not lol. It still looks great tho. Frickin HUGE! Lol

I love my diamond select hulk

[@therapistx8912]

The DST Immortal Hulk is my primary Hulk. I'm wondering if he had butterfly joints and accessories like a ripped up shirt would he be elevated to a 9 on Dave's scale.

[@DisplayingModelBehaviour]

That would definitely make him at least a 9

[@exoticcarfactsofficialchan7050]

These Diamond select Marvel figures are pretty awesome! For these "Juggernaut" sized monster characters, Marvel Select can't be beat. They scale perfectly with the human sized characters in my Marvel Legends display and the level of detail is an added bonus. Their normal human figures mostly look like shite, but for the bigger more imposing characters, chefs kiss 👌😁👍

[@DisplayingModelBehaviour]

Yeah love their Juggernaut too!

[@JayWoods483]

Did you see the DST MS Emma Frost? Although too tall for a ML display, the product captures the female essence perfectly. Another is Magneto. I haven't seen anything out of ML yet that can beat either of those two. Also the Green Goblin towing Peter is pretty nice to look at, but it is a statue.

[@titanguy7316]

I've got their awesome Juggy as well!

[@Gen_IsANerd]

I know I’m pretty late, but unfortunately, I think because of Hasbro’s deal, Diamond Select has to give their figures, well, not as much articulation as they would want. Edit: Also, yeah, the waist does swivel, I was able to get it to move.

[@DisplayingModelBehaviour]

I'll play around wit the waist

[@Doctopian]

The waist does twist, but you need to put quite a bit of muscle into it. Frankly, twisting him at the diaphragm is much easier and is more natural. Speaking of articulation, the 80th Hulk can't turn at the diaphragm and the Select also has the McFarlane-style hip swivel. Both have points of articulation/range of motion that the other lacks. Honestly, he replaced my 80th Hulk as soon as I got him over a year ago. For me, it wasn't even much of a dilemma.

[@DisplayingModelBehaviour]

I'll play around with that waist!

If you want his arms to bend back further wouldn't turning the shoulders to aim the arms backward give you that to an extent?
