Doesn't look like lips. I do hope they paint his teeth white, unlike the many 25th Tele-Vipers with flesh colored teeth.
ahhh, teeth, that looks more like it...its very rare Hasbro makes open mouthed figs so i forget about that
You're not? I don't like that he's got a solid torso, and I'd replave the head with a better looking skull. It's a good base at least.
I agree. It's no fun if he's not uber-nazi numero uno. The body is a better base than the RoC Destro body- that one was always too big to my eye. Crossbones was the muscle, RS is just evil. Skinny, but very very evil.
I don't get how Hasbro can make Joes and Marvel figures with uber articulation and then make these figs and star wars figs with crappy articulation.
Makes no damn sense.
Makes no damn sense.
Different designers across the different lines I gues. You'd think these, Joes and MU would just use the same construction though. I kind of understand why SW construction would be required to be different by Lucas Films.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Wasn't that why it took so long for the t-crotch to go away?
It doesn't really make a whole lot of sense to have four different Marvel properties out with action figures in this scale, and all four of them have differnet articulation styles. Granted, there's not a whole lot of standardization within the MU line.
I'll give the SW reasoning, but yeah, Marvel and these should at least utilize the same design at least.
It bugs me that I have a red Hulk and Green Hulk that have vastly different styles of articulation than the World War Hulk, Thanos and Thing. They really don't look like they're from the same line.
I'd say SW has gotten more consistant recently, between the CW line and the Legacy line. But you're right, it was all-over the place for a while.
He would if he could move his arms and legs. Thing has taken over in the "SMASH" department in my colection. He's currently clobbering the Juggernaught.
No, the WWH figure is pretty awesome. Very articulated and well sculpted. It's the other versions that are essentually moveable statues. They have articulation, but it's not very uesful do to the design.
He's got more of a leather.... thing on his head. Hold on....

Even now, Star Wars figures have all over articulation. The Clone Wars line doesn't count because it's aimed at kids and they need the playability. Heh.
The Vintage Collection is one of the first to have a pretty standard articulation on almost all the figures. The Legacy Collection was notorious for having wonky articulation. Some figures would be super articulated, while others (who would need the SA) were missing ankle joints.
For the Marvel Universe figures, the initial molds seem to have been a learning curve for Hasbro. They've adapted some, and upgraded certain style mold that need it. Thanos and WWHulk come to mind for sure. Now, if they'd only do something about that god awful female body they have.

Wait, that's the one I meant.... I don't think there is a WWH out. My mistake, I was looking over a review of WWH this morning and had it in my mind.
Yeah, the Planet Hulk one has more of a leather strap thing like Marvel's Hercules. What is that thing?
