Al,

That "gladiator" Hulk statue is a nice sculpt, but, I confess to not liking when Hulk is all dolled up... his traditional look (big, green, lumbering giant) gets a little watered down.  Kind of like gilding the lily.  But then I didn't like when he went from ripped, purple pants to purple shorts.  I missed the "ripped" edges of the fabric.

Hulk wearing armor is a bit like a ballerina wearing elevator shoes. What's
the point?

(That said, he wore armor in the very first issue I bought, 5. But it was
Tyrannus who put him into it!)

Already Googled it. $3300 USD.

Problem is. . .   every year I reach a point, usually around August, when I
declare I will make no more Big Purchases for the rest of the year. Usually
I'm pretty good about keeping my promise to myself.

Unfortunately, with the current economy, I am more frugal that usual, so,
because of the cost of Fireball XL5 I made the promise last month!
