Hulk Wave pics!

[marvelfreak]

My guess is that they are saving them for a later day to show, at least i hope anyway.

 

Looks like they won't be shown till Toyfair 2008.

 

hasbro said in a Q&A

They have no knowledge of a Fing-Fang Foom wave. They leaked no information, and anything on the net is unconfirmed.

Yes I know they did. That's why I said it won't be shown till Toyfair. It's real, we've seen the pics. Hasbro already has enough on their plates right now that they don't want to admit it's scheduled for release. If they shown too much at once they're worried some of the peoples attention will bypass HML4 and the FF waves. It's the same reason they only release one wave at a time. If everything comes out at once people are more prone to skip items or waves altogether.

Actually i don't think it will be at the Toyfair as they didn't do it last time. i think it will be at the NYCC which is usually a week after the toyfair.

Release date, please or else: @rambo@

Well, the NYC ComicCon is supposed to move to mid-spring next year, to bring it in-line with the other Cons of the season, as a run-up to San Diego. So Hasbro will probably be showing more at ToyFair than they did this year, especially as they'll be a year into production by then, as opposed to just starting out. Lots of prototypes tend to build up over constant production. They should have plenty of stuff on-hand by then.

The second figure in the first post looks like a Kratos/God of War Hulk.

 

And the the second Hulk in the 2nd post looks PERFECT.

That's exactly what I see for a Hulk figure.

Has everyone forgot about these?? When are these supposed to come out.....And since this is supposed to be a FFF wave doesn't anyone find it odd that there is a solicitation for a Hulk/FFF one shot coming out.

I don't find it odd, it makes perfect sense. Hasbro probably was looking for a way to make FFF, found out about this from Marvel, and so tied FFF to the Hulk line. Not necessarily in that order.

[drzenith]

Hasbro responds,

 

"Hasbro Smash, you buy."

 

"Hasbro will is the only way. Take it or leave it."

 

"Hasbro don't like words only action figures."

[nobody1898]

I got the sense that if the release date was even 1 second after the ball drops, Hasbro will not tell you anything.

 

its like 2008 is a giant black hole

[SatanLovesYou]

There's a new Hulk movie coming out circa Summer 2008. That's when we'll see the FFF Hulk waves.

[Leatusiv]

We should see them before that because They'll have movie toys as well.....So who's winning Hulk or FFF??

[ransomz]

At last year's Toy Fair they were trying to put the focus on the movie properties, Transformers, Spidey and the FF. Next year they have Iron Man and the Hulk, so I figure they'll be focusing on those. We should see a lot at Toy Fair.

[skeezix]

I think the Valkyrie head would make a good head swap with the crappy Emma Frost from the Annihilus wave.

Since FF and Hulk are getting ML comic waves I'm PRAYING (and I'm not religious so my prayers go straight to Hasbro) that we get an Iron Man ML Comic wave (8 figures) with the Neo Classic Armor. And I'll be happy with anything else they give us after that.

[drzenith]

I am pretty sure the Iron Man is in the works. (afterall he is the top seller but no need to make those modern IM but the Neo Classic would do)

 

FFF figs would probably be released in June.

A classic Ironman wave is a must in 08!

 

Sleeker re-do of the classic yellow/red armor

Crymson Dynamo-80's armor from the "Armor wars"

Spymaster-classic look

Beetle-80s look

Ghost-80s look

Blacklash

Grey Gargoyle

Constrictor-80s look

BAF-70s Titanium man-10' scale

Great choices but don't forget there HAS to be at least TWO IM Armors (look at the hulk wave 4 Hulks!) So I say Ghost goes in favor of a second Armor.

[ToyWorldBreaker]

YES!!! A World War Hulk Wave. I guess the Son Of Hulk figure was made to show what his son would have looked like if he lived. Ya know his son is alive in some alternate reality anyway and will find his way to regular continuity somehow. It would be great to see his son in an upcoming story arc anyway. The Samson figure should have a variant of his current costume. They forgot to make a Planet Hulk Silver Surfer, he'll probably be in the next wave. We also need his Warbound buddies. #tank#

I've been pretty much staying out of any Marvel topic since Hasbro took over the line, because it's pretty pointless for me to even attempt to describe the level of dissapointment and agravation I feel about these toys, especailly to people who can't seem to see anything wrong with them.

Wether it's because of the blinding devotion to Marvel related characters, the lack of basic awareness of what toy makers are actually capable of producing, or the possible fact that these opinions belong to kids who are just too young to know any better, they don't see what I see.

 

I've been collecting action figures for over 20 years, and I've got everything from high end collectable figures from Japan that cost me over $100.00 a pop, to super cheap & junky things like TMNT items, and I can honestly say these look horrible.

 

HULK is probably my favorite Marvel character, and while I have bought a lot of dissapointing HULK figures from ToyBiz, they actually look pretty good compaired to this.

The only good thing I can say about them is the character selection covers some of my most wanted HULK related characters, kind of like the new Fantastic Four ML set, but also like the FF set, these will look like total junk when the actual products hit the pegs, because Hasbro will ruin what few, if any, good qualities these pics show off.

 

As has already been pointed out, those are hand painted prototypes, so the non glossy paint looks more like real skin, which we know will not be the case on the actual figures unless something pretty drastic motovates Hasbro to change their tactics. Hasbro will produce some heavily photo-shopped pictures that people will go ga-ga over some time next year, and then they'll show off some more doctored-up figs at Toy Fair, or some such show, that will be "well recieved", so when the actual products come out we'll have more cheap looking kiddy toys to show for it. @grumpy@

 

Yeah the sculpters who do these probably also sculpt the products for Marvel Toys, and both Hasbro and Marvel Toys are working for Marvel, so they even share the same molds for a lot of figures, like the recent Ann O'brian has the exact same hands as She-HULK, but the Devil is in the detail.

Hasbro ML loose the detail in the translation from the original sculpt, and may even deliberately downgrade to make the molding process easier, so the Hasbro figures look like slightly melted candle wax!

 

Remember what the original Blob prototype looked like? Now imagine that kind of a detail downgrade on these already pretty bland looking HULK figures.

So now people just expect the final product to never look as good as the prototype, which I think is a more realistic point of view, but the idea of HULK figs that actually look worse than these cartoony looking jokes is not a good selling point to me.

 

In the mean time Marvel Toys managed to deliver a PITT that was so near as good as the prototype, that the only thing I could even find they missed on the actual product was the paint apps on his nails/claws and the snap on his vest!

 

People keep complaining about how bad the Witchblade figure was, well now try making that comparison with the new Ann o'brian from the second set!

Ann has the She-HULK beat on all articulation for range of movement, count, and design. (Not to mention looks!)

 

This Valkerie figure looks like the kind of female figures we got ten years ago. @loll@

 

As a HULK enthusiest I have to say, buying these would be a worse insult to the character than the worst ToyBiz items were, and that's pretty darn bad.

As for the people who actually like them, I think they would buy snow cones if they lived in the North Pole! @smilepunch@

I would absolutely love if JohnnyRebel's line-up came true...a classic or Armor Wars wave would be perfect. And if you've got Spymaster, you've gotta have Ghost, too. If any of them had to go to make way for yet another Iron Man armor, I'd say the Beetle. At least there's a hope he could show up in a regular ML wave since he was also a Spider-Man foe.

in the beginning of your post you talk about the people who refuse to see the bad in what hasbro does, and i agree those people need to wake up, Hasbro has made a lot of crap so far, but you're the opposite in that you are blinded by the hasbro name and refuse to see when something is better then what toybiz made, if you think Valkerie (or any of the protos) look worse then a lot of the crap toybiz made then theres really no point in trying to reason with you. you have it set in your mind that "Toybiz good, Hasbro bad" and no matter what they do it won't change that. and for the record a snowcone is delicious no matter what the temperature outside is @smilepunch@

Unless that snowcone is made of urine...

Watch out where those Huskies go......Don't you eat that yellow snow!!! lol

[jjlecaros]
