Hollywood Hogan
Storm Collectibles - Ringside Collectibles Exclusive
Storm Collectibles and Ringside have joined forces to bring you the most controversial action figure since "Math Class is Tough" Barbie. Yes, the WWE and Mattel might have tried to erase the legend, but there are still Hulkamaniacs out there runnin' wild and there's money to be made! Hulk's bad guy, New World Order turn made it as far as prototype designs before the scandal pulled the plug on any current and future merchandise. How well does this figure fill that gap in the collection? Pretty good, if you ask me, brother! As you can see above, he stands in scale perfectly with Mattel's figures. 
The paint and articulation is better than you would get from other companies (which might make him stand out too much amongst your Mattel figures.) Double-jointed elbows, upper torso ball joint, and "butterfly" shoulders can give you more and better classic Hulk posing than ever before. Also, something else he has going over Mattel: he has nipples! Why don't most wrestling figures have nipples? They will go out of their way to flock George "The Animal" Steele with faux body hair but not give him nipples?! Weird. |

There are a few nitpicks about this otherwise awesome figure. The crotch section is just a rubber piece that kind of floats over the t-joint legs. Because of that, it takes some readjusting when posing to cover up the floating look between the waist and torso. And while you do get better articulation, paint, and accessories, it does all come at a slightly higher price than a Mattel Elite. Hollywood Hogan runs wild at $35, which is about $15 more. I think it's worth it for the quality, let alone the uncertainty that we'll ever see Mattel get to do a take. Don't miss your chance to fill this important gap in your collection. It's just too sweet!
