Best Week Ever (the Toy Version) and the Spread Good Karma Giveaway

I’ve had a really good week (or so) for toys. It started on our anniversary – as a gift, my wife got me the Wal-Mart exclusive Avengers Hulk that has been eluding me for some time. And she didn’t even blink when I told her that I was planning to Frankenstein him with some other Hulks to make the best Hulk ever (maybe some day). And it’s kept going since then:

  • Hasbro Return of Marvel Legends – BigBadToyStore let me know that my pre-order of Wave 3 was in.
  • 3A Toys Action Portable – My most-anticipated figure, the Fighting JC, was announced in 1/12 scale, and on order day I also scored an AP blue-suited Zomb for a great price on eBay and the secret Dark Sarge Zomb on bambalandstore.com, right as the JC sale was closing up.
  • Hot Toys The Dark Knight – I missed out on the pre-order window for the SWAT version of Jim Gordon, but Sideshow just let me know that they found one for me (I had put myself on the wait list).

With all this good stuff happening to me (aside from now being completely broke :)), I figured I should spread the good toy karma around with a Free Stuff giveaway. Here’s what’s up for grabs and how to get up to three chances to win.

Hot Toys Avengers Hulk is Always Angry

We got our first full look at the upcoming Hot Toys Hulk at Ani-Com, and with the official release pics I continue to be impressed. Some folks in the 1/6 community are a little jarred by the visible articulation points – but I figure this is a big green mostly naked guy, so there isn’t a lot of opportunity to hide those joints. Hot Toys did implement a “seamless” articulated elbow, but that raises the concern of possible rips in the “skin” and hindrances to posing.

One surprise – does “rolling eyeballs” mean full PERS or just some side to side action? Either way, Hulk likey! I mean SMASH!
