That's the issue, though. This figure feels like the first foray into Legends making figures purpose-built to appeal to action figure photographers (or, perhaps, to their own photographers to try to get more sales based on how cool it looks online?). The whole reason this figure exists in this format is so he can do a pose that you absolutely should not leave him doing on your shelf unless you only want him to do that pose forever and ever. So... why buy this over any other Hulk beyond the ability to just do the pose one time and say 'that's cool' and then put it on the shelf in a regular pose that won't damage it. What's even the point?
There are certain pieces in my vintage GI Joe collection that have crumbled apart in my hands from just light handling.
Yeah. I mean, I've bought sealed '90s toys, opened them up, and already found yellowing, degradation, that gross 'slimy' feel of old plastic, etc. Now, I want to clarify that I'm not saying it's okay for new toys to immediately fall apart of be made of materials we KNOW won't last very long. But also we have to accept toys are still essentially designed to be played with and eventually disposed of when they break or get too old. If people want lifetime longevity, they do need to be considering things like statues and art prints.
We've touched on this already, but I'm still puzzled by the line as a whole. They're supposed to be maximum figures, presumably to compete with MAFEX, but the second figure in the line has significant re-use and visible pins. They should've released Hulk as a Fan Channel exclusive instead of diluting the Maximum brand out of the gate.
Now that Maximum Hulk is starting to hit everywhere, it won't surprise me if they announce Maximum Deadpool during their livestream next week. It's honestly difficult for me to imagine them doing a whole lot more than what they did in the Deadpool/HydraBob 2-pack. They could probably add toe articulation and slightly better waist and neck articulation similar to Max Spidey, but probably couldn't expand other accessories too much more.
Yes, you're right - he does. My bad. Even less for them to improve upon.
