So I'm shopping with the GF. Like I stated in another thread, I get toy rewards for sexing her good. The trouble is I have all the stuff I want that can be found at retail over here :-(
So I'm in the toy aisle, and I'm pretty much looking to get anything just to open. I see Avengers Hulk. Now I know he looks like a retarded fat arsed baby. I know he has crap articulation. I know he has a dumb action feature. But I figure Avengers toys in general are fun to play with, so I thought I'd get Avengers Hulk, use him as cosmic Hulk, and have my MU Hulk beat the shit out of him.
So my GF walks up and says straight away "That looks like shit!" I laugh and tell her I want it. She laughs, looks at me and realises I'm not joking. She then asks me what I want with baby toys. I say it's not a baby toy. She looks at it again, then cusses the figure. She actually thought it was a Duplo figure or something similar.
Moving on. She buys the figure. I open it later. Then for the first time in many a year, I felt like a total spastic for buying a toy. Avengers Hulk is just sooooooooooooooo bad! It fucking sucks! I thought at least his legs would move like regular Avengers figures, but no. They are like normal movie figure hips only without the swivel. So basically, unless you pose him like his legs are broken backwards, his hip articulation isn't worth having. The knee discs were brown and not green which is unforgivabley crap, his torso joint is completely loose, and his hands are pre-posed pretty much upside down.
I couldn't even use this bastard as a whipping boy. I returned it after about half an hour. When the woman at customer services asked what was wrong with the figure, I simply said "It's shit". I got my money back without argument.
This "figure" has definitely just peaked as my pick for the worst Marvel action figure of recent times. It just absolutely fucking sucks in every way possible.
