I actually forgot to measure this for an offical size, but I'm thinking it was somewhere near 6.5" when I was working on it. I know with the top of his fin it's at 8" tall. I have a pic of him with the Hulk for size ref. One of my favorite bad guys I love to hate. I always thought of this guy as an underwater Sabretooth, but his guy is stronger and meaner than Sabretooth. This guy can lift press 70tons, so I think he can handle himself pretty good in a fight. He gave ol' Jade Jaws a good fight way back in INCREDIBLE HULK NUMBER 160. I was going thru the Hulk archives and stumbled upon this story. I was more than pleased to be able to add him to my INCREDIBLE HULK'S GREATEST HITS. That story in the Hulk went a little something like this... Hulk stops by a lake to think how to reach the Niagara falls. The calm surroundings turn him into Bruce Banner. The physicist reaches the closest city and hires a pilot, McKraken, to take him to the falls. When they arrive, Bruce realizes that Betty Ross has wed Glenn Talbot. Tension turns him into the Hulk who jumps out of the plane, splashing in the falls. Talbot sees the green giant and calls Thunderbolt Ross for help. The army general advises his son in law to leave the area immediately. Glenn convinces Betty to leave for Canada without telling her anything about the Hulk. Meanwhile, Hulk is attacked by the Tiger Shark, amphibious villain hidden in the falls after his defeat against the Sub-Mariner. Hulk wins the battle just when Ross arrives with his fighter planes. Hulk escapes by making a tunnel through the rocks and shows up many miles away. Like having a sixth sense, the Hulk leaps towards Canada... INGREDIENTS; base figure was a Spider-Man orgins Venom I cut off the hands and replaced them with a 5" movie Hulk's fists used a DCUC Despero head I filled in the joint holes and added vinyl for the fins on his arms, legs, head and back. primed and painted ![]() |

This body was one of those early pre-Legends pieces that definitely shone a bit brighter than others and rendered as you have here, makes me wonder if they made a mistake in not releasing that body for this very thing way back when they were releasing the slightly less articulated but beautiful things like Beta Ray Bill, SC Rhino and HC Absorbing Man. Those were more like art pieces, as is this.
So very striking.
