Hulk Classics - Abomination

ToyBiz ( 2003)

Finally the real Hulk figures have arrived! This is the real deal comic based HULK, not some re-invented CG Shrek look-a-like from the movie. Thanks to TOY BIZ for not giving up the toy line despite its previous lackluster quality movie based figures which are currently still peg warmers despite its 50% sale price.

Series one consists of 4 incredible and amazing figures namely: Savage Hulk , Smart Hulk, Joe Fixit and the traditional enemy, The Abomination. Boasting an average of 40 points of articulation, these figures are very detailed and very poseable. Now on to the review:

Abomination

Finally we come to the complementary Enemy of the series. The Abomination. Being one of my favorite enemies of the Hulk, I had high expectations for this figure. With the usual 40+ points of articulation, the Abomination is sculpted perfectly, his skin detail is just awesome.

The only thing that doesn’t work for me is the action feature. He has a button behind his back that when pressed, is supposed to bring down his arms together in a smashing motion, sadly this doesn’t work and ends up like he’s flexing his muscles.

He comes with a breakable rocket accessory that is supposed to collapse when you get his action feature to work right. Being the first Enemy of the series, Abomination is an excellent figure nonetheless.

****1/2 (4 ½ )

The first series in the HULK Classics line is simply amazing. At an great price of $6.00 ( or about 350 Philippine pesos) the sheer size and excellent quality of these figures are already well worth the value for your money. So I suggest you get the whole lot ( If you can get your hands on the 1 per case Abomination that is ) once it hits your local toy stores.
