Marvel Action Figure Review - She-Hulk Action Figure

Jennier Walters wasn't a typical comicbook woman -
one of those impossibly perfect and perky folks who only exist in
fiction. Nor did she fall into the "totally hot but totally unaware of
it category." No, Jen really was a mousy little frump. It was only when
she got an emergency blood transfusion from her cousin Bruce (yes, that
Bruce) that anything interesting happened to her. But while Bruce's
alter ego was driven by rage, Jen's was driven by... well, mainly she
seemed horny - just ask Juggernaut. No longer quiet and reserved, Jen
revelled in her new outgoing personality, and was hardly heartbroken
when she found she couldn't change back.

She-hulk marvel action
figure Caught in the crossfire of a criminal conspiracy, victim of a
tainted blood transfusion, lawyer Jennifer Walters found herself
transformed into the uninhibited personification of her repressed
longing for a life of adventure. The most powerful woman ever to walk
the face of the Earth, she-hulk marvel action figure retains her normal
intelligence and personality. she-hulk marvel action figure possesses
superhuman strength and can press at least 75 tons. By and large,
she-hulk marvel action figure is impervious to injury, pain and
disease: her skin is able to withstand extremes of temperature, as well
as tremendous stresses and impacts without puncture wounds or
acerations. she-hulk marvel action figure's highly efficient physiology
renders her immune to all terrestrial diseases.

She-hulk marvel
action figure has an interesting history. Like Batgirl or Superboy, she
was created mainly to protect a potentially copyrightable name, but
she's gone on to better things. She was also the last major marvel
action figure character created by Stan Lee before his position became
more of a ceremonial one.

7 inches of HOT marvel action figure,
and a little taller if you count her hair...HOT. I think this is one of
the best marvel action figure out there, The detail on the suit, face,
hair and shoes is perfect, the paint job is flawless, and she's also
pretty to boot. The suit is painted with dirty-white (slighty dark
white) and metallic-lavender, complimented with stitches and seams and
wrinkles and a great pair of legs.

There's really no major flaw
in this marvel action figure, the body-sculpt is awesome, the scale
perfect, and she's got a great smile! The green eyes and painted lips
are neatly done. The hands are in a "ready" or "catching" position. If
you put she-hulk marvel action figure's arms up, the hands look like
they're carrying something large like car, etc. It's odd that she
doesn't have a fisted hand. She's a Hulk character, shouldn't she be
able to punch things? If Hasbro is going make the hand so static then
we should at least get inter-changeable hands in the package, like
SOTA's Street Fighter marvel action figures.

No
problems with articulation, she's been able to stand in any pose so
far. But once the ankles get loose...No, the waist isn't swiveled, done
to perserve sleekness. The mid-section hinge is a click-joint, it can
hold she-hulk marvel action figure's weight well. The elbows do NOT
bend all the way, she can't touch her chest (may sound wierd that I
know that but that's just one of the tests I conduct, hah) and the arms
don't turn, but the elbows can, solving this problem; the shoulders are
normal. The fingers and toes don't move. Hinged-toes would be useless
due to the size and weight of the marvel action figure and hinged
fingers would ruin the natural look. The feet are hinged AND they turn!
(just like the elbows and wrists, it's the same type of joint and looks
decently natural), but they don't rock side-to-side. The hair limits
lead-movement, but I think she looks better with big obstructive hair
than no hair at all.

She-hulk marvel action figure is the only
marvel action figure actually worth the money you'll plop down for
Hasbro's marvel action figure Legends (maybe Thor too). She also comes
packaged along with The Upper Torso of Exodia...uh, the upper torso of
Blob. But really, with how hard these darn things are to find in
stores, you might as well be trying to assemble the fat wrinkly parts
of an ancient Egyptian god.

There were a couple of things about
this Shulkie that I was a little disappointed in though: the lack of a
shoulder/bicep articulation and the way the hip joints were
articulated. Hasbro could take some notes from Jakks Pacific on how to
articulate hips. True, you can just about move she-hulk marvel action
figure's into any pose, but you have to make sure that the ball joints
are turned the right way. Yes, the elbow joints ind of solve the lack
of shoulder/bicep joint, but this marvel action figure would have been
so much more awesome with the added articulation!

Oh, Yeah, I'm
not too fond of the "Barbie" hands either. Like you said, an extra
closed fist/s would have been a great accessory for this marvel action
figure. Overall, a great, sexy, Shulkie, and this is the first female
face that Hasbro has done in this series that did not look like some
kind of butt-ugly alien or something. Like Dr. Nightmare, I think
Shulkie and Thor are the only ones worth getting. Sadly, Thor is the
only one I have not been able to find.

I like the look of
she-hulk marvel action figure's - but wouldve liked a little chunkier
mucles on the calves, thighs and arms - even on uscular women this is
their best feature if done correctly, A recent Wonderwoman I seen from
DC direct had better thighs than this. I must say that I think the loss
of articulation in the hips to make a much more appealing womanly
marvel action figure is a good move on Hasbros part.

Yet shes as
white as Weird Al Yankovich. The joints that they have been using
lately are just copied Sigma 6 joints. In some cases it works out OK
but thay can be slightly tedious to get them in the poses you want.

She-hulk
marvel action figure looks great. The marvel action figure is based on
Adi Granov's cover artwork for her new series, art that quite possibly
gives us the sexiest she-hulk marvel action figure ever. She's
muscular, but not one of those roided-out freakshows you see posing on
ESPN; she manages to be strong and feminine in a way possible only in
comics. She's wearing a purple and white leotard, black gloves and
black boots with silver buckles.

While the sculpt is excellent,
the paint isn't quite up to snuff. The highlights and shadows on Jen's
exposed green skin are quite nice, but the apps on she-hulk marvel
action figure's costume are pretty bad - the purple spills onto the
white, the white overlaps the purple and the entire edge where the suit
meets skin is a sloppy mess. You'd think a limited-production marvel
action figure would garner some extra attention, but apparently not.
