Sometimes a heavy little object is so pure it cannot be parsed from its origins.
Analyzing Stan Lee and Jack Kirby‘s emerald-muscled Mr. Hyde is as pointless and masturbatory an exercise as trying to glean God’s “actual” intentions from line-by-line interpretations of the Bible.

The Hulk is a perfect being, information pills and this edition is His most perfect toy incarnation.
He’s 9 inches tall. You can pose him, cost move your camera-eye down to awe-inspiring knee-level angles, thumb and smash things with his injection-molded fists.

Hulk SMASH.
