Since 1989, Kotobukiya had been marketing two popular brands of collectible figures: ArtFX Statues (vinyl) and Fine Art Statues (resin).  For the 2008 movie, they released three collectible Incredible Hulk Movie Fine Art Statues:

They also have a collection for Iron Man, Blade, Fantastic Four, Daredevil, X-Men, and the Punisher.  Along with Bowen Designs, there should be plenty of neat collector statues for Hulk and Marvel comic book fans.

In a lot of ways, the Abomination’s looks had misled fans and movie goers because he seemed to be something born from water.  Greenish and reptilian-looking, in some drawings, his ears looked like gills kinda like the Creature from Black Lagoon.  But he’s not from the water.  Emil Blonsky became the Abomination from an exposure to gamma radiation, just like Dr. Banner. 


Even in the movie, Tim Roth’s character transformed into the Abomination from a series of exposure to the blue serum and gamma rays.  The process was very similar to the one that turned Ed Norton’s Banner to the Incredible Hulk.  Unlike the Hulk, however, Blonsky’s changes were stable and permanent.  He had no ability to resort back to human form, but he kept his human senses and intelligence.  Presumably, he also maintained his fighting skills and training as a Soviet spy.

The Abomination was one of the few Marvel villains who can outmuscle the Hulk.  He did so in the movie and in some comic book issues.  He’s actually stronger than the Hulk if the Hulk had just transformed from Dr. Bruce Banner.  Eventually, the Hulk will outlast the Abomination and everybody else the madder the Hulk gets.

Because of their similar origins, the Hulk and the Abomination are kindred spirits in a sense.  Except that one was always trying to kill the other.

Limited Bowen Bronze Hulk Statue

Limited Bowen Bronze Hulk Statue


The Incredible Hulk is one of the scariest beings in Marvel Universe if he’s pissed at you.  Not too many things can stop him.  The earth shakes when he’s mad.  He can hold up mountains (Secret Wars #4), he can smash asteroids bigger than the planet Earth into pieces (Marvel Comics Presents #52), and he can hold a planet together so that it doesn’t rip apart (The Incredible Hulk #102).

This Bowen Bronze Hulk statue personifies the sheer brutality of the Hulk with intricate details.  Greenish hue and purple pants, this limited statue portrays the classic raging Hulk.  Now rare, only 350 copies were made of this Bowen classic.  If you’re a collector, this is a must have!<>
