It's called the Hulk beats other guys into a pile pose!<br /><br />And the answer is: if Hulk has beaten them into a pile, I don't think it would matter. Lol. ;P<br /><br />@vernisgood - Haha, no, no. I'm no "celebrity." Just have to work like everyone else. ;) I was also on 938LIVE giving an interview about toys later that afternoon, strangely enough. Yes, busy day at the office for me. Lol.<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting. Yes, the size issue is a fair enough criticism of the figure. But right now I think Hasbro have nothing in between in terms of the right buck size for Skaar. Somehow someone thought "as large as the rest" would be ok.<br /><br />No doubt the line is here to stay. It's been thriving in the last few years and I'm sure it's not for the lack of ML figures--fans of the 6" scale would rather do without ML than buy into 3.75", I suspect. But with the relaunching of Legends, I can imagine lots of 3.75" fans "dabbling" into the line, myself included. ;)SirDragonBanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09061860978530022895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874789746848317241.post-77283839960543686382011-08-03T18:15:29.396+08:002011-08-03T18:15:29.396+08:00Saw you on the morning news, SirDragonBane!

Nothing new to you but an excellent review once again. Great that this figure is somewhat value for money but the size of Skaar is the only thing that bugs me, as mentioned by Meangreen.<br /><br />But similarly, as pointed out by Meangreen as well, it seems that this line is here to stay and I wouldn't be surprised one bit if this line of toys eventually play a larger role than simply being a "complement" to the ML line.vernisgoodnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874789746848317241.post-18625874070995671182011-08-02T12:17:36.719+08:002011-08-02T12:17:36.719+08:00Yeah, but I couldn't actually pose them doing ...Yeah, but I couldn't actually pose them doing stuff if I crammed too many more in!<br /><br />(The question is, which will give people more fits trying to ID?

Then it's a FUN party.<br /><br />In other news, I missed a transluscent Human Torch(awwwwwww) that apparently sold on my way to Wal-Mart, but I DID pick up the last Spidey/Thunderball set in the area, thus finishing my set of the Wreckers.

@Meangreen - You ...@Ridureyu, AFLI - Thanks, dude!<br /><br />@Meangreen - You have agreat point there. Skaar's been drawn slimmer than Hulk but bulkier than most more often than not in his short career so far. I think the only one that draws him as bulky a the Hulk is Ed McGuinness. I do love Skaar as a toy on his own, though. But I do admit, I'd like Hulk to be the biggest, baddest, meanest and greenest bar none! :)<br /><br />@Soundwave - Pass?!?!?! Nooooooooooooo!!!!! :P Yeah, he's not a character that you can get into just by looking at his design. Dr. Starnge does have effect though. It's that Eye of Agamotto, I tell you! ;P<br /><br />@TPS - Thanks! Yeah, I've not seen this wave in department stores yet either. Gotta go to specialty shops like Simply Toys or any of those in CSC.<br /><br />Actually, I do quite like the Gamma green plastic they used for SW Hulk. Only that version could carry that color skin!
