Maybe it'll look better painted?

So, I finally took the plunge and bought a Marvel figurine.  The Destroyer, who was the first non-big 3 Timely hero I ever read, so he's a favorite of mine.  Naturally, now I have the figurine bug.  Can anyone direct me to a web site that has a gallery of all the figures to date??

Off the main page, you'll want the Hard Facts section.  It has four threads, two for Marvel and two for DC.  One has a picture of each released figure and the other is a checklist in order of release as well as the photos we have of those that haven't been released.  I'm pretty sure you have to register before you can get in there.

Here's the official blog updated every/every other Friday by Richard Jackson, the editor of the magazine.  Most of the sneak peeks and news we get show up here first.

The thing that bugs me about this line is that I don't like
the default green Hulk that I saw early in the line. MY
Hulk would be the late 70's early 80's version. Are they or
have they released different versions of the Hulk?

Beyond a few quibbles I think the majority of the line is
fantastic, though.

There have been so many different versions of the Hulk, it would be impossible to pick one representative model that would please everyone.

As most of you know, I finally went ahead and commissioned a Kirby vintage Hulk to replace the "official" Eaglemoss version in my collection.

There are two versions of the Hulk out there, but the other one is just a grey repaint.

The maddening thing is that on the official site there is a
sculpt of a Hulk figure in the background of one of the
images that's amazing looking. Really not sure why this
wasn't picked as the final.

Just picked up the latest two figures. Chameleon is quite cool looking with the face mask in his hand and X23 is well, like X23. Yes, I'm a completist.

While in my LCS I had my first ever experience of 'Jerk Comic Store Guy' dissing JB. Naturally I put him straight.

I picked up Machine Man and Fist of Kung Fu.  Pretty cool.  As for the Hulk, it would be cool to have an older Hulk represented.  I think most figurines would be better served with the first incarnation of most Marvel heroes.

I agree, Brad. With the possible rare exceptions. (Blade,
for instance.) I think the most popular and well known
versions should be released first and after that release
others down to the modern versions. I would think that it's
the older fans that're the main market for things like
this. Makes sense to me.
