The Incredible Mego Hulk
MEGO HULK SMASH!
(Didn't see THIS background coming, didjya? )
The Mego Hulk stands slightly under eight inches tall due to the
short, squat legs on this body type Mego developed for the Hulk
and the Thing. This size disappoints some folks who want the big
green guy to tower over their other heroes. It's nonetheless a great
Mego with a fine head. Hulk was Mego's "late bloomer" a modest seller
at the beginning but when the TV series aired, he became part of
Mego's "Big Four" Superheroes.
What sort of machine must they have used to produce his pants?
The rips on the legs are always exactly the same...
 
The Hulk box features a unique diecut and some striking Herb Trimpe
artwork on the back panel.(That's my childhood Hulk in the box BTW).
