I'm sure one of our Hulk fans on this forum will be able to identify which "version" of Hulk this is from. I'm an old Marvel fan, true, but Hulk was never my fave (oops! sorry!) compared to say "Thor" or Spidey (who always got the coolest villains...).

Regardless of which era it's from, it is a true wonder and you can be so VERY proud to own such a treasure!

Kuddos!

 

I'm the same.  A big fan of the old Spidey not so much the new one.  

I like the larger size statues(roughly 2' tall) and this one fit my budget as well.   

I was looking for a Spider-Man originally but I couldn't find a larger one for a decent price.  

I got lucky as well as I am sure the seller misquoted the shipping on this.  

I was charged $55 Canadian for express shipping from Florida to SK. 

The box was 3' x 2' x 2' and almost 50lbs.  

I'll be picking up a smaller 13" Venom and a slightly smaller Harley Quinn tomorrow or Saturday.

^^ Gorgeous Hulk fig my friend! Wonderful purchase!

I'm trying to place which rendition that face is though...

I don't think it's Kirby...Simonson maybe?

What does the paperwork say?

Thanks bud.   

I'm not sure as I am not big on Hulk's history.

The Hulk's grimacing portrait features a large brow and shaggy hair, reminiscent of his early appearances in the comics.

My picture of his portrait isn't so clear so here is the image from someone with a lot better photography skills. 

I'll post the rest in a few hours when I have more time.

Wonder what's happening with this release. We're getting other release announcements mentioned well after this one before we're getting any news or release info on this one. Sigh.

Same as Steelarchive Tales of the Crypt.  

The Benchwarmers  & The Beer League  

2 very stupid funny, corny movies full of "bad" actors and a bad story line. 

If you don't take life so serious and enjoy movies Adam Sandler type movies you will love them.  

These types of movies suit me perfectly.  

Easy to watch and puts a smile on your face one way or another.  

Of course they are not for everyone.  

But if you are the type who can laugh at lifes daily struggles and laugh at yourself when you do stoopid things you might enjoy them.  

Definitely not for Germans.  As Germans have no sense of humour at all.  

I judge movies for what they are, not what they are not.  

They both get a 9/10 for me in the stupid, corny comedy movie category.  

You're a sick man.  Sick! Sick! Sick!  

We would get along together great.

Hi @Kingpin

I believe that there are several scenes in Artificial Intelligence that are good for testing out systems one such scene is when the AI gets left at the roadside to fend for himself .. the sound of the doors opening on the car is supposed to be a really low bass sound ..... and a good test for subs .... sad to say I don’t here it  ........ but I bet your system would rock the foundations.....

Thanks for the information.  

There are many movies with "Subsonic" bass(less then 16hz).  There is a list somewhere but I have to find it.  

Here it is: https://www.avsforum.com/forum/113-subwoofers-bass-transducers/2763785-ultimate-list-bass-movies-w-frequency-charts.html

I haven't followed it as much as I use to but a lot of today's movies will have content down to 3-5hz.  

Very hard to reproduce but some can.

 2 x 21" ? 

 

I'll have to check that War of Worlds scene out.

 

In the DIY circles it's known as a sub killer so be careful.  LOL  

If you have store bought subs they have a high pass built in so most likely you are ok and they won't play down below 16hz in most cases.

That is surprising. Maybe the cancelled/failed payments back up for sale?

From what I have read it all started about people complaining about how the quality of the 4K transfer. 

Studio Canal got tired of the complaints and said F-You to the majority of where the complaints were coming from and pulled the product from certain countries. 

Apparently SC got even more flak for that not to mention how bad it made Amazon look to pull the product.  

It looks like SC has relented and allowed the product back on the shelves. 

Now I just wish I could find the endo-head for retail.   LOL  But I don't see that happening. 

Surprisingly in stock at Amazon US.

Amazon Canada.

Dang, that's cheaper than I paid!

I don't need two but nice to see some friends here can still get it!

At one time on Amazon Canada they were $135.  I missed it and figured I would pick it up later.  

When I went back it wasn't availabel except from third party sellers at 3 times the price.  

That's when I researched and found out about Studio Canal cancelling French, US and Canadian orders.

Hmm, interesting.

I also could not find it on Amazon.uk

?

@Kingpin are you talking about the arm or the heads?

I was talking about the arm.  I now see there was talk of the arm and the head.  Sorry for any confusion.

@Grendel It is gorgeous mate. Despite being light and made of plastic it doesn't look cheap in the slightest. I think it's worth every penny... even the later, more expensive price, it's definitely worth it.  My only change would have been to house the discs in the base of the arm  - it would turned it into a proper box set and not just an awesome piece of memorabilia - but that's just me, I love unusual designs/ packaging.  Can't wait to see pictures of your collection, especially the Alien model!  Sounds like you've got some awesome treasures on display        

@Skid Mark do you know anybody place still selling them at retail?
