Immortal Hulk 3D Print by Possum_Art

Both Disney and Marvel have failed to provide a TRUE Immortal Hulk figure. Sure they have made some Hulk figures and labelled them as the “Immortal Hulk”. But they bear little to no resemblance to the Joe Bennett Hulk we love.

Thankfully for what corporations have failed to provide – the fans have delivered. I was searching Cults3D some time ago and came across a wonderful Immortal Hulk model uploaded by Possum_Art. The face has the closest resemblance to the Immortal Hulk I have yet to find anywhere. So of course I NEEDED to make this.

After a few weeks of printing and painting I present you the true Immortal Hulk.

I will admit I am not a huge fan of the pose…for this character. Let me explain. I am also a big fan of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. and as far as visual adaptations I love Berni Wrightson’s rendition. I encourage you to check out his work if you aren’t familiar. His creature is both terrifying and oddly beautiful. This model for me invokes some of that same feeling. And this pose would be perfect for Frankenstein’s creature. But since Hulk is a derivation of Frankenstein…it sort of works for me.

Other then the pose (which I wish was a bit more aggressive) I am loving the sculpt. The level of detail in the musculature is amazing. Though I feel there was more focus on the upper half and the legs weren’t given the same level of attention. The face is a bit odd at a couple angles…not sure it’s exactly right. But it’s not a deal breaker.

He was also a lot of fun to paint. I attempted to give him a bluer color palette as he’s depicted in the comics mostly at night. For the most part this came out ok but maybe I went a bit heavy on some yellows for the highlights. I was also having a horrible time getting his pupils lined up right. Ultimately I gave up on pupils and left the eyes as glowing yellow orbs. Which I think adds to his animalistic ferocity.

Most parts printer perfectly and it was easy to assemble. But oddly enough the most issue I had was with the rock. I had to use a heat gun to make it fit into the ground plate. They were separate parts.

Overall this is a wonderful model and I thank Possum_Art for making it. Be sure to visit his page on Cults3D and consider making one yourself.

Sephon66 – (Compound) Hulk Smash (3D Print)

PREPARE TO BE….COMPOUNDED!!!

For some time now I resolved not to attempt another Hulk 3D print. The Planet Hulk project took so long and the Vengeance Hulk was a huge headache. But then I found this amazing model from Sephon66 over at CGtrader. I instantly saw potential for a large scale compound hulk. The artist must’ve based the head sculpt on the cover from Hulk #30.

The model at full size was a bit too big for my printer…mostly due to the base which was the largest piece. So I scaled it down to roughly 75-85% if I recall correctly. In retrospect I probably would’ve retained a bit more detail in the model had I gone bigger, but for the most part I’m happy with how it printed.

Going smaller took less time to print and paint which I also preferred.

Overall the making of this figure went smoother then previous prints. However, painting it threw me a few curveballs. I didn’t quite have the right metallic paint for the Hulkbuster so I had to improvise. It’s decent, but not as metallic as I would like. Also, the green skin of Hulk initially was very bright and clashed strongly with all the red/warm colors of the figure. Referring back to color theory this I should have predicted as they are complimentary colors. Visually somewhat jarring. So to make this less of a problem I painted a thin wash of red over the surface of the green. This helped a lot, but almost too well. I had to lightly remove some red to let the green highlights come through. Once I found a good balance the the colors of the figure seemed to better mesh together.

This figure was a lot of fun to make and I am happy with it. Though I still feel it’s not as good as the Planet Hulk statue I made. In any case it makes an incredible addition to my collection and highlights one more form of Hulk rarely seen as a toy/statue/etc.

If you are interested in making this yourself I recommend you check it out here and support the artist.

Hulk BH Fig (3D Print)

Well hello there!! I know I haven’t been posting much here for some time. But these are crazy times we are living in. I’ve been fairly preoccupied, but my love of Hulk has not ceased.

Recently I’ve been getting into 3D printing with the purchase of my new and first printer (Creality CR6-SE). And of course one of my first prints had to be Hulk related. I truly underestimated the amount of Hulk models created and available for printing online.

The first one I was interested in was this Hulk BH Figure by KnightSoul_Studios. This design had a very animated style. I loved the look of it and wanted it for my collection.

With my new printer I was able to make this figure a reality. The body and head were printed separately and for the most part it came out really nicely. There were some issues on the underside of the arms and chin. But these printing errors I was able to sand away or cover up. Still not perfect but for my purposes I was happy.

Priming and painting took about a week. I used acrylic paint. It actually came out really nice.

Now he sits proudly among my many hulks in the case. For the most part I don’t think you can tell he is a DIY Hulk figure and he looks great.

If you are a Hulk fan and/or the proud owner of a 3D printer I recommend you check out this designers other figures and see what might catch your eye.

Spider-Hulk: Funko POP! #374

This is another Funko Pop! I felt would be a nice addition to the collection. Released in July 2018 – this figure represents a psuedo-Hulk much like the Hulked-Out Heroes or maybe A-Bomb. This is Peter Parker (Spider-man) after he comes in contact with Gamma radiation from the Incredible Hulk.

This causes a mutation turning him big, green and a bit dumb. From what I can tell this version of Spider-man only shows up in a single issue of ‘Web of Spiderman #70’.

Given the level of detail and the fact this POP! was made at a larger scale I felt it was worth having. But I did learn an unfortunate lesson in Supply/Demand. At the time of it’s purchase it was a hard to find item. I only came upon it as my LCS had just purchased it from Wal-Greens. Like literally the item still had a Wal-greens receipt on the box and I snatched it up right away and paid almost double for it. Nowadays the figure goes for about $20.

I’m happy to have it in the collection but maybe I should’ve waited on this one. For Spider-man fans this might be more desirable. As a Hulk fan I can say you can skip it if you wish. That being said its nice to have a big Hulk funko of this character alongside the comic (if you have…which I do :-)…)

Venomized Hulk: Funko POP! #366

Personally I am not a fan of Funko Pops. Sure they are cute and I get the appeal. But I feel they are too simplistic and in most cases, poorly made (in my opinion). I see these as at best – desk clutter.

Admittedly I do own a few that I deem worthwhile. One of which being this creepily designed Venom Hulk POP. The paint job was decent and I really dug the design. Clearly its meant to reference the variant cover by Del Mundo, created for Incredible Hulk #4. (BTW that cover being one of the MOST expensive Hulk variants on the market as of this writing).

This figure was released in 2018 as part of a series of Venomized heroes; which included Iron Man and Captain America.

The figure is not hard to find or is very expensive. So if you want him it shouldn’t be a problem. If you are a Hulk or POP! fan then this one seems worth owning.
