Looking at your blog and what you're looking for I'd recommend the Malifaux Seamus Avatar for the hulk.
Big, over developed, torn cloths and a top hat.
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.

Someone on TMP recommended the same thing. I'll have to order one. I have thought that The Hulk was a reworking of Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde. Someone said that Stan Lee is on record as saying there Stevenson novel inspired The Hulk.

I like the Thor from Foundry

Great project so far!

That is a nice figure. Shipping from the UK to the US for one figure probably would be prohibitive. I'll have to see if anyone carries it here.

I did find a good deal on ebay on the Seamus Avatar for the Hulk.

For a moment, I thought this thread was going to feature a Victorian John Steed and Emma Peel.


I joined my gun with pirate swords, and sailed the seas of cyberspace.

It is expensive
