I have the first Red Hulk sculpt, which was horrifically expensive in the UK and not cheap in the US (where I bought mine from) either. It is though a cracking model and far better than the robot Hulk sculpts, so if you can track one down... it'd be worth it imho. The Mars Attacks scenery will certainly be doubling for "Bolt Action" etc when its all painted, so that's a big yes in my books, my friend.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-11246432534022083182016-01-12T10:38:32.766-08:002016-01-12T10:38:32.766-08:00She-Hulk!

Not sure why its taken me so long to finish him, though his handwraps were a real pain to get right, as was his face - as it was rather inaccessible due to the pose. Mindless Ones seem to be rather rare in the UK sadly.

I am familiar with the character, but always thought his costume was a little...silly. I also like the Mindless Ones figures, but as noted, they do seem to be popular and therefore pricey. :(<br />And I too have that She-Hulk figure, but once I'm done with her, she won't be She-Hulk anymore...Carrion Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12243490491778253955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-68851468806477815872016-01-10T04:28:40.946-08:002016-01-10T04:28:40.946-08:00Cheers Gordon.

I don't think "DC Comics" gives Wildcat much coverage in its "New 52 Universe", and unless you're a JSA devotee I guess he'll sadly slip under most comic reader radars. The robot Hulk mini is nice. Though I'm not sure I'll be saying that after painting five of 'em. The Mindless Ones are one of the more expensive Common "Heroclix" minis I know of, and although reasonable in the US, cost a small fortune over here (if you can get them)... Hence I've only ever been able to afford two.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-72140185784329858962016-01-10T04:22:17.304-08:002016-01-10T04:22:17.304-08:00Cheers Bill.
