I colored his pants and hair black with a marker and used him with my Mego Comic Action Heroes. He was a little shorter but good enough for me.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03119827816698009731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-89753620081770324572013-11-21T19:54:33.658-05:002013-11-21T19:54:33.658-05:00Campus Craft took a chance and printed this kit wi...Campus Craft took a chance and printed this kit without The Marvel Comics copyright. They had to stop production when they sent one to Lou Ferrigno who showed it to a show executive who reported them. This company also printed some very collectible Kiss posters too. The real gem is the membership card.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-60457911509982802902013-11-20T13:22:29.638-05:002013-11-20T13:22:29.638-05:00I've been seeing this item with a few dealers ...I've been seeing this item with a few dealers here in Montreal for years now, must have been a local warehouse find as they always have a ton of them.

That's awesome!! That would go great with the Six Million Dollar Man Fan Club Membership (with dossier) and Batman '66 credit card!<br /><br />I now realize that as much as Kenneth Johnson wants to attribute The Incredible Hulk adaptation to Les Miserables and Victor Hugo, he basically made it an updating of The Fugitive. With Mcgee as both Gerard and The One-Armed Man, and Bill Bixby as Richard Kimble.

Technically n...Was Banner/ The Hulk a homeless man? Technically no, not in the modern connotation of the term.<br /><br />For a truly correct answer, we need to strip away a few 21st Century Politically Correct eupehmisms muddling everything up and return to the days when people were more concerned with being truthful than being "sensitive". Back then, the "homeless" were called "bums." Regardless of their fancy name switcheroo, nothing's changed. They don't work, don't care about working, pan-handle money on the street, and sleep in whatever alley, hallway, shelter, or subway platform they can find. A "bum" that moved around from city to city, usually either by hitch-hiking or on the railroads was a "hobo".<br /><br />Banner was what is still today called a "drifter". Due to his condition, he frequently had to leave in a hurry after another outbreak of Hulk-itis, moved from city to city, and worked at a huge variety of different menial small-time jobs, pretty much whatever he could find. Usually he slept in whatever cheap hotel/ motel/ apartment or some accomodations a new friend, co-worker or employer offered him. Those are the two main differences between a "drifter" and "the homeless". While drifters may not have a fixed residence, they still work, earn wages, and aren't living on the streets consuming society's charity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
