Storm Collectibles is no stranger to one-sixth-scale sports icons, as they did their Mike Tyson Figure in recent times. That being said, many have been excited for their release of Professional Wrestling Icon Hulk Hogan in One Sixth Scale. After so much anticipation, it is satisfying to see Storm Collectibles deliver a strong Hulk Hogan figure. Our Storm Collectibles Hulk Hogan Figure Review pretty much covers everything so please enjoy!
The figure arrives in a plain shipping box labeled with the character’s name and Storm Collectibles branding.
That being said, as soon as the shipper comes off, it is clear that what is inside is something special. The art box is pretty brilliant, displaying bright reds and yellows. It also includes raised imagery, and houses the figure behind a removable flap as is typical with window boxes. Behind that window of course, is the figure and accessories.
You Get Two Head Sculpts
The figure is a beast, with neutral and angry portraits and a specially made muscle body. The head paint captures classic Hulk Hogan well. The arms and chest look seamless apart from the shoulder connections. The body has a small ab crunch, and the one-piece boots have no ankle pivot. Take care with the painted soft body when moving the joints. Our figure-cleaning guide explains gentle routine care for painted surfaces.
Storm Collectibles Packed This Figure with Accessories
While the figure’s body and sculpt are fantastic, what is really amazing about this figure is the abundance of accessories. The Hulkster comes with 4 bandanas total, 2 sculpted, and two fabric in red and yellow. He also comes with two pairs of sunglasses, in red and yellow. Two scarves and belts are included, in, you guessed it, red and yellow. Finally, he comes with four tank tops, two unripped in red and yellow, and two ripped. Basically you have all of the accessories to have two different outfits for the Hulkster. The hands are where it really shines, offering a wide selection of hands for a ton of different poses, as well as achieving the look of tearing his shirt off via magnets.
A few notes to wrap up our Storm Collectibles Hulk Hogan figure review. First, his boots slide on and off the legs. Extra care should be taken to not break those when swapping for the exclusive red boots. Additionally, a stand is included but it is slightly different than the typical Hot Toys stands. Those are minor reservations about an otherwise impressive figure. It should appeal to a wide variety of collectors, and we cannot recommend this one enough. A great piece that is extremely well made by a passionate company.
How the Shirt-Gripping Hands Work
The special hands separate across the fingers, with small locating pegs and a magnet bringing the pieces back together. Fabric from a pre-ripped shirt sits between them, creating a grip that an ordinary closed hand could not achieve. The review finds it easier to position that fabric while the hands are off the wrist pegs, then fit them back for the final pose.
The stand has a wide black base and a metal Hulkamania nameplate. Its support post clips into the rear instead of dropping vertically into a socket, and that connection flexed on the reviewed example. The exclusive red boots also fit differently from a typical ball-jointed foot: they slide over long pegs without the usual click.
