Joining the Incredible Hulk and Red Hulk, Sideshow is proud
to introduce the Gray Hulk from our Marvel Comics Hulk Premium Format™ Figure
series.
A fantastic tribute to the original character design by Stan Lee
and Jack Kirby, Sideshow’s artists have captured the full menace of
Hulk’s gamma-fueled fury as he was first depicted in
Incredible
Hulk #1.
Inspired by classic monsters like Frankenstein and Jekyll and Hyde,
Stan Lee originally intended Hulk to have a gray skin tone,
thinking a melodramatic, somber color would be perfect for the mood
he wanted to establish.
However, when copies of the first issue showed that the printers
were unable to maintain a consistent shade of gray from one page to
the next, he decided to make the change to Hulk’s coloring to the
more familiar green in subsequent stories.
Featuring the hallmarks of his classic look, Bruce Banner’s alter
ego is all muscle in his shredded denim shorts, with a prominent
brow and monstrously intimidating scowl. Rampaging onto the scene
in one quarter scale, Hulk tears up the terrain with one hand
outstretched to taunt his enemies, and the other ready to deliver a
mighty blow.
Sideshow Exclusive
The Sideshow Exclusive version will include additional costuming,
featuring Hulk’s retro orange shirt (shown below).
A time-honored champion of the Marvel Universe, the Gray
Hulk Premium Format™ Figure is a must have for fans of the
Hulk!
