I thought Fin Fang Foom was going to be SDCC exclusive this year. I'm not complaining, as this is a great set. I'm curious as to what FFF's fate is.

I think FFF will be the Masterpiece exclusive, like Galactus and the Sentinel were previously (single carded) ....but he'll also be available in stores.

Now... if they would just ditch the stupid shorts on FFF.

But then we couldn't have this:

lol... I admit I chuckled at it, but b/c of how stupid it is.

What's up with giving him purple shorts anyway? It's like someone lacking creativity looked at another big green character in the Marvel Universe for their inspiration...

I dunno... a giant lizard with purple shorts is funny?

I'm not all too familiar with FFF- when did the shorts start showing up?

Fin Fang Foom actually predates the Hulk by a few months - he's from the era when Marvel was doing monster stuff. And yes, he has the purple pants in his first appearance.

S"ok, most people don't know that, since his second appearance wasn't for another 10 years or so. He's one of those pre-Marvel Universe characters who later got added back in (like Captain America or Namor).
