Marvel Legends – Maximum Series Hulk

The Marvel Legends Maximum Series Hulk is a deluxe-sized action figure produced by Hasbro, designed to represent a highly detailed, comic book-inspired, and extremely articulated version of the Incredible Hulk. It is a premium entry into the standard Marvel Legends 6-inch scale line, but it is much larger.

Here is a detailed breakdown of its product features:

1. Scale and Design

• Size: The figure stands at approximately 8.5 inches (21.5 cm) tall, making it significantly taller than standard 6-inch Marvel Legends figures, allowing it to properly loom over most other characters in a collection.
• Aesthetics: The figure is inspired by the classic Incredible Hulk comic books, featuring a bright green skin tone (often with airbrushing for muscle definition) and torn purple pants.
• Maximum Series Deco: It features a “Maximum Design” with enhanced paint applications and sculpt details intended to make it a definitive, timeless representation of the character.

2. Maximum Articulation

The figure is engineered for a high degree of posability, a key feature of the “Maximum Series”:

• Articulation Points: It boasts approximately 30 points of articulation across the head, arms, legs, and feet for dynamic posing, including:
  • Fully poseable head and neck.
  • Soft Skin Upper Torso Cover: A flexible rubber overlay on the upper torso is designed to hide joint gaps and maintain the muscle sculpt while allowing for a broader range of shoulder movement (butterfly joints).
  • Articulated Toes: The inclusion of hinged toes allows for more realistic and dynamic poses, particularly useful for “smash” and running stances.
  • Swivel-hinged elbows and wrists.
  • Double-hinged knees and hinged/rocker ankles.

3. Accessories (11 Total)

The figure is sold as a deluxe release and comes packed with numerous accessories to recreate iconic comic scenes:

• Alternate Heads (2): In addition to the default head, it includes two alternate heads featuring different facial expressions (e.g., intense rage, open-mouth roar, or a unique grin) often reflecting different comic eras or moods.
• Alternate Hands (4 total/2 pairs):
  • Grapple/Clenched Hands: Used for holding objects or crushing things.
  • Open Palm Hands: Designed specifically for use with the included thunderclap effects.
• Thunderclap Effects (3 pieces): Clear plastic “energy” or “air” effects that attach to the wrists and hands to simulate the powerful kinetic force of Hulk’s signature thunderclap move.
• Missile Accessory (1): A classic comic book prop that can be split apart (often showing wires and a damaged interior) to pose the Hulk catching or ripping it to pieces.
