I'm currently at work and can't check, but are Luke's arms the same as Herc/Thor's?

that'll be a straight out yes and replace for the old one.
Dude, the Hulk is my favorite character of all time, but he has a weak supporting cast and rogue's gallery. Betty and Rick are his strongest supporting cast and Leader and Abomination the only villains who can really be considered top-tier. I love Marlo as a character far more than I do Doc Sampson and even I would say she is a weak cast member. Sampson was always included so the Hulk could be impressively stronger than someone else.

Just don’t go tooo heavily into John Byrne because the man was single handedly responsible for introducing cheesecake to 13 year olds. Whenever I open one of his comics to a big opening splash page where the character has the playful smirk and dimple, I feel like they want to mouth kiss me.

It makes me so endlessly happy to see this artwork's face and hair brought to life nearly 1:1. It's the romantic ideal for both. More of that, Legends team. More of that!

Love the love, and you're completely right - this is an idealized ML release, and possibly the most exciting thing they've revealed all year for me.It makes me so endlessly happy to see this artwork's face and hair brought to life nearly 1:1. It's the romantic ideal for both. More of that, Legends team. More of that!
I think you nailed the source material based on the hair and smile, too - for all the times they seemingly don't use accurate control art, this one is dead on to his classic look from classic art.

Also to add, I'm glad they didn't go full swing on this one artwork for the costume details. Shorter sleeves, the proper studded belt, straight across logo like we usually see? Absolutely lovely.
ML loses me hardcore a lot with many of their headsculpt and costume choices, but I'm glad they went all out to please me with the leak that excited me the most.

That is a good question. I tried to figure it out with a Google search or two, but the only thing I could discern is that Hercules appears to have pins and so does Thor (80th?). I know Herc has the same pumpkin shoulders as Absoring Man with no butterflies so, probably not?
Maybe someone can state with authority what is reuse and what is novel tooling.

Nope. Luke's don't have pins. They are slightly less large as well.

Very good. For some reason I kept thinking they were. My thanks, sir.

I stand corrected. Doc Sampson is a hero for taking advantage of a mentally challenged monster and punching him as hard as he can (and breaking his hand in the process) when said monster wasn't expecting it. And then committed un-lawful experiments on non-consenting human test subjects.
Eat it, green genes!
Wasn't this the issue that was included with Hulk aaaaall the way back in Toy Biz series 1? Nice little connection there.
We sure is was MODOK who turned him evil?

It's hard to tell from the pics, but I think they even got the little stitching on his booties right. Great stuff.

Dethlok can go with xforce. Shang chi may go with avengers? Not sure on that.
