We have seen a giant Hulkbuster Iron Man statue before, but it just stood there and did nothing. That doesn’t count as an action figure. This action figure from Comicave Studios and Play Imaginative is a massive 1/4 scale action figure that stands about four feet tall.
It has a full range of articulation and animatronics. It’s chest even pops open and you can see Iron Man inside. It’s perhaps the most awesome thing I’ve seen in years. This is a prototype so the final product might change a bit.
We have no idea how much it will cost, but it’s a fair bet that the action figure will be something you need a Tony Stark bank account to afford. Check out the videos to see more detail.

In what seems like a belated April Fools’ cross-promotion, Marvel and Gillette made four concepts for funny super-powered razors based on Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America and Thor. Iron Man’s razor is the only one that you can arguably call practical, but all of them will probably kill you. I still wish they were real though.
Gillette is promoting a new kind of razor called the Fusion ProGlide, while Marvel is of course hyping up Avengers: Age of Ultron.
They should at least consider making replicas. I bet those would sell.

I am a Hulk fan and grew up watching Lou Ferrigno bust through walls every Friday night. I loved that show and was a bit mad when the new Hulk movies and The Avengers used a computer generated Hulk. I really wanted them to just get a massive body builder and paint him green.
If you like CGI Hulk, you will want to check out this sweet new Hulk collectible figure from Avengers: Age of Ultron. The 1:6 scale collectible is 17-inches-tall and comes in two versions. The basic version doesn’t have much, but the deluxe gets a few extra doodads.
That version comes with a flexing Hulk torso and a Hulk torso with arms raised ready to smash something. It also comes with a set of open hands and a set of clenched fists. The basic version will cost you $274.99(USD) with the deluxe version going for $374.99 at Sideshow Collectibles.

I can think of no better way to celebrate your passion for Marvel’s superheroes than to make some tasty baked goodies in their form. That’s exactly what Flickr contributor Cindy Li did when she baked up this batch of delicious looking banana bread, baked in the shapes of Thor, Captain America, The Hulk, Iron Man, Spider-Man and Wolverine:
These are truly bananas, Cindy. Great job!
Fans of Marvel superheroes who want to take their favorite character with them on the road and jam out of their favorite tunes at the same time will want to check out these Marvel Rechargeable speakers that are at ThinkGeek. The speakers have cartoon bodies and the face of the hero is printed on the speaker grille.
There are three characters including Hulk, Iron Man, and Captain America. Captain America is definitely the lamest of the three, if you ask me. Hulk and Iron Man both have more substantial arms and poses while Captain America only has his shield attached to the side.
They are rechargeable for listening on the go, and the battery is good for about ten hours per charge. However, they need a 3.5mm input for music since they don’t have Bluetooth. You can get any of the three designs right now at ThinkGeek for $24.99(USD).
If you are a fan of the newer Hulk films with the computer animated green guy, you may get a kick out of this. An artist named BanHunLek has made a sculpture of the Hulk that looks just like the one from the films with Edward Norton out of old scrap metal.
The close up look makes it look like the body of the Hulk is made from nuts welded together, which is quite possible. The Hulk wears tattered pants made from some sort of sheet aluminum and the sculpture even includes hair and veins.
I would think the most awkward part of sculpting the Hulk out of metal would be making the crotch bulge. I’m a fan of the later Hulk movies, but nothing replaces Lou Ferrigno in the original Hulk TV series I grew up with in the ’80s.
