    Run! Dr. Banner's turning green and... shrinking into a Lego minifigure?

    Written by (TFOL) in United States,

    I received this set as a free promotion with my first Lord of the Rings sets. Although Hulk was initially eclipsed by Gandalf, Shelob, an army of Uruk-hai, and the new horse design, I eventually realized I had something special on my hands...

    Box and Instructions - Simple. This is a polybag with no instructions in sight.

    Parts - One receives four parts here: Harry Potter's hair (which Hulk actually wears better than Harry, in my opinion); a double-sided head, with one side displaying a growling, perturbed expression, and the other showing full-on rage; a torso printed with the typical beefed-up superhero musculature on the front and a few lines depicting Hulk's spine on the back; and legs, which are sadly not printed purple on the tops or sides.

    The Build - Depending on your level of Lego expertise, this may take anywhere from one to three seconds to build, presenting no challenge whatsoever. Side effects may include sarcasm about the building time.

    Completed Model - I have to admit I was initially hesitant about Hulk's lack of scale to his fellow Avengers as well as his interesting color choice in clothing. Being the type that researches whatever I come across, I brushed up on my Marvel history and - lo and behold! - the original Hulk to join the Avengers in 1963 was little taller than his fellow heroes and was indeed clothed in purple. Thus, despite the polybag's obvious depiction of Hulk rampaging through post-Loki New York, I believe this minifigure actually represents the 1960s Hulk; this would make him one of the oldest versions of any Marvel character to be accurately depicted in Lego. Team him up with 76017's Captain America and 76018's Thor and you'll have most of a classic Avengers team. All that, I think, makes him pretty special.

    Overall Opinion - So the question is: are you willing to pay the high price on eBay or elsewhere for this one minifigure? That depends on why you want him. If you're a kid looking to build a team of Avengers to save your bedroom from Loki, there's nothing for you here; the big Hulk figure smashes better and offers a much superior play experience. If you're a Marvel fan wanting to collect Lego versions of your favorite characters, this is for you! It's the classic Hulk! If you're simply a minifigure enthusiast looking to expand your collection, you can't help but admit that it's hilarious to see everyone's favorite enormous green rage monster shrunk into a little plastic Lego person.

    Mini-Hulk!

    Written by (AFOL) in United States,

    This set contains the Incredible Hulk in mini-figure form. That's it. Nothing else. Not even a box or something to smash. I don't remember if the polybag even contained instructions. Take a look at him. He's green with some nice muscle printing and an angry face.

    Yes, that's Harry Potter's hair (I hope Harry doesn't miss it.) I've tried other hair pieces and it really does suits him the best. Try out some other hair pieces or hats on him and see for yourself. Go on...

    Why did LEGO produce this? Maybe they designed the minifigure but then decided he needed to be a large scale figure, so they later designed the version we see in the Helicarrier Breakout. I'm glad to have both. The big Hulk can smash like none other, but minifigure hulk can... drive a car... pilot the Quinjet... ride a bicycle... ride a horse(old style or new)... hold a popsicle... and so on. Just put him in a car or something and try not to laugh. Hulk smash? Hulk have ROAD RAGE! Hulk's popsicle is melting! ARRR!

    He was free from shop.lego.com, but surprisingly expensive on Bricklink and eBay. Your value for the money may vary.

    Excelsior!

    Puny Hulk smash!

    Written by (AFOL , silver-rated reviewer) in United States,

    I got this guy as a gift from my wife, who got him for free when ordering other stuff from Lego.  I must say, I love him and he made me no longer desire the larger Hulk in the Helicarrier Breakout set (sorry Lego Group!).  He's a brilliant green with nice bright purple pants--he really pops and stands out.   The two facial expressions are very appropriate for Hulk in a cartooney way. And yes, that is Harry Potter hair, but it adds to his goofy charm. He complements the other Avengers nicely in a comical way as well--it's more entertaining in my opinion to have him be a little angry guy smashing people/things than a big monster. So for a giveaway figure, I am thoroughly pleased!

    The Hulk in Minifigure form

    Written by (TFOL , gold-rated reviewer) in United States,

    I got this with my purchase at the Dowtown Disney lego store and I was glad I didn't miss out on this. But I'am surprised how negative the reviews are for this minifig. First off he has a double sided head with a angry grin and the other is a angry expression where he looks like he's unsure about something. He also has backprinting that shows he has muscles on his back. The hair is the same as Harry Potter's.

    Pros

    • Double Sided head
    • Back printing
    • It's the Hulk in minifigure form (Need I say more?)

    Cons

    • Chinese Palstic
    • Hard to find.

    Despite this is made in China, it is still a good minifigure and is a great addition to your collection and a must-have if your a big fan of Hulk or the whole Marvel Superheroes series.You can find this on Ebay/Amazon. Thanks for reading.

    Box

    Polybag
