Marvel Legends 85th Anniversary Hulkbuster


Man, are we getting a lot of plus-sized Marvel Legends figures coming in! I got ten bucks off this big buy recently, which certainly helped me to pull the trigger. This Hulkbuster is about 9.25" tall and 2.350 lbs. -it feels substantial. The outer chest armor can be removed, and the helmet exchanged for a Tony Stark head. His joints are pretty tight, and while his girth limits his articulation to the expected degree, he can do quite a bit for such a bulky figure.


But what we came for here today was a rumble with my Marvel Legends 80th Anniversary Hulk ...




Below, Hulkbuster with my Marvel Legends Invincible Iron Man, which also came with an alternate Tony Stark head. This Hulkbuster looks a lot like what is referred to as part of the Model 13 Modular Iron Man suit with a style/details update to the overall aesthetic, but has also been directly referred to as its own Model 14 armor.



And now for some more comparisons:
with my Marvel Legends 80th Anniversary Hulk and Spider-Man Retro Card Series Rhino...


                                        ...with my Marvel Legends Ulik and Thing...


...with my Marvel Legends Venompool and Mister Hyde...




...can you imagine Mark 1 Iron Man bumping into Hulkbuster at the arcade ...?


And finally, Hulkbuster with my Marvel Legends Iron Man 3 Wave BAF Iron Monger, absolutely dwarfed by the former. The Marvel Legends has come a long way since it's relaunch in 2012- the figures are better than ever and there are more of them- well over 1,300 and counting. The character lineup is astounding, and they are bordering on import-level quality, with more accessories and extra hands/heads. I've written 158 posts about them here on the Super-DuperToybox in the last 14 years, and this won't likely be my last! Excelsior! 

More Later- Make It FUN!
