I like toys. Who doesn’t, right? Even the people who think they’ve “grown up” like toys. You put a pile of brand new toys (all boxed up or carded) in front of a “grown up” and when no one’s looking? They’ll be straight flashbacking to Christmas morning past.

I’m mostly into action figures. But, I don’t want to put myself in a box (as it were) either. I branch out a bit into Lego and such, but when it comes right down to it, I’m about action figures. My point in admitting all this, is that I don’t necessarily have to be a collector of one particular line to buy any given figure. I consider myself mostly a “collect what I like” collector. I’m not a completist by any stretch of the imagination. Likewise, if there’s a figure of a particular character that I’m into, but, looks all around terrible, I won’t buy it.

Which brings us to…Hulkette(s). Before I saw this figure, from the first wave of Marvel’s Legends 2013 line, I wasn’t all that familiar with the “Hulkette(s)”. I am familiar with the “Rockettes”, though. But, I believe that’s another post entirely.

I know She-Hulk (Jennifer Walters, cousin of Bruce Banner). And I’m vaguely familiar with Red She-Hulk. But, these Hulkette(s)? I had a feeling that this was a Hasbro created name. So, I did a bit of research (not much, though) and consensus appears to be just that. “Hulkette(s)” is a name concocted by Hasbro. When it comes down to it, though, who we are dealing with is Red She-Hulk. Good ol’ Betty Ross, Bruce Banner’s one and only true love. Awwww…

Red She Hulk, Hulkette(s), Betty Ross…whatever name you want to call her, she’s a great figure. She’s got all the right articulation to make her wicked poseable. If I’ve got to get nitpicky, she’s painted a glossy type red, which is ok. But, she has black lips which look a little off against the glossy red paint. But, like I said, that’s just your friendly neighborhood jman being nitpicky.

Hulkette’s part of the Hit Monkey Build-a-Figure line. She comes with Hit Monkey’s headless, armless torso. Which, is a little creepy, especially considering how articulate his feet (lower hands?!?!?) are. She also comes with a gigantic sword, which she’s totally known for in the comics (She’s not. I’m just being sarcastic).

All in all, Hulkette’s a very solid outing for Hasbro and Marvel.
