Product Description
Fans of Marvel's The Incredible Hulk comic books share an affinity for the big green guy - but what many of them might not know is that Dr. Bruce Banner's alter-ego was not always green! When the now-iconic character made his debut in The Incredible Hulk #1, published in May of 1962, the character was colored grey! The skin-color decision belonged to then editor-in-chief Stan Lee, who wanted to make the unlikely - and very angry - hero a color that was not associated with any particular ethnic group. However, due to inconsistent coloring techniques at the time, the grey coloring never really worked. Throughout the first issue, Hulk appears in various, inconsistent shades of grey. And so, for the sake of consistency, from issue #2 onward, the Hulk's skin became its trademark green!
Now, Master Replicas and Marvel have teamed together to create a Comic Book Scene Replica of the infamous cover of The Incredible Hulk # 1, featuring the Hulk, as Stan Lee originally intended him - in shades of grey! This dynamically sculpted resin piece brings artist Jack Kirby and inker Paul Reinman's beautiful 2-D art into stunning 3-D life!
- Made from high-quality resin
- Realistic sculpt, based on the original comic book artwork
- Individually numbered, and strictly limited to 2500 pieces

Absolutely Incredible!!!
By GeeBee
Words escape me on how amazing this piece is! I've been eyeballing this piece for a long time and I finally broke down and bought it and boy, am I glad I did! You will be overwhelmed at the quality of this piece, and besides that, it's enormous! The pictures you see online for this piece cannot do it justice. I know you've heard that before but it is the truth in this case!First off the pictures do not even show the backdrop accurately. In real life the entire cover is represented including Ross, his daughter Betty, the soldiers, the missile heading upwards, the whole ball of wax!, it's all there! Just like the actual comic cover! In the pics this detail is missing. Also, the title at the top is not merely printed on, it's on a raised Plexiglas sheet that gives it an awesome 3D effect. Really, it's amazing! I was expecting a cardboard backdrop and was blown away when I saw it first hand. The quality is first rate!Next up is the Hulk himself. When my 9 year old son (who is a Hulk fan like Dad) saw it, the first words out of his mouth were "HE'S HUGE!", and I concur. Not only is he big, but he is a sight to behold. They really captured the look of Hulk here. He's a mixture of old and new. He's grey (like old), He's very muscular (like new), and he has an almost "Frankenstein" like head structure that I think really conveys what Stan Lee had in mind for this character. It gets an A+ for character representation from me and I've been a fan since the beginning!Then right in front of Hulk is his true self, Bruce Banner. What can I say other then he looks exactly like the comic cover and really aids in conveying how puny the human form is compared to The Incredible Hulk! He really aids in showing the scale in size between the two. He has that tortured look on his face that really conveys his torment at what has happened to him. Awesome!All I can say is that if you have the means and are a true Hulk fan this piece belongs in your home. I can't say enough about the mind blowing quality of this piece. BUY IT!!

By Samantha
This is not a toy for the purpose of this review. It is a replica for display. When I purchased this item, it was a gift to my husband for Christmas. I expected it to be solid and about 8' in design. Boy was I surprised when I picked it up. The box filled my trunk. It was so big, that the postmaster carried it to the car for me. The box was about 2 feet square. The product itself is about 10' wide, 8" deep and 18" tall made of solid material. Although it was big, the detailing is the best I have ever seen. It was as if you froze the characters in place. The detailing is so amazing that the ridges in the Hulk's fingernails were included in the statue. My husband being a fanatic about comics, was so impressed (not easily done) that he purchased the Spiderman statue and will look to the vendor for others. I purchased it on 18 Dec. and it was at the post office by 23 Dec. Great timing for Christmas.
