Stormer Wasss once a man Offline --> Posts: 1,430 --> Join Date: Nov 2006	THE O-RING LIVES!!! ...kinda I don't know if anyone has pointed this out anywhere else; probably. But I was just looking through coverage from Toy fair and found pictures of Hasbro's forthcoming Incredible Hulk movie tie-in line. Apparently, in the new movie the Hulk will still be bothered by the military in the form of a specialist Hulkbusters unit. And Hasbro has apparently decided to cut a few costs in making figures of the puny humans... Sgt. Bazooka/Grand Slam torso and Sand Viper helmet? Rollbar/SAW Viper body, DTC Low-Light rifle? Both of them at another angle This guy looks the same scale but might be a non-poseable part of that action-feature base (probably flips into the air or something). Hulkbuster Humvee... Retooled for an action feature? Unless it's the Hulk himself who does all the work... And there's that Sgt. Bazooka/Grand Slam body again! I forsee a lot more custom Night Ops teams showing up in people's pics by the summer... And another thing that could work out in our favour is the fact that movie tie-in toys more often than not hang around warming pegs then end up on clearance within a year...! __________________ * * * * * Come check out my Flickr account for more pics of my collection and additional shots from my JoeDios photoshoots.
