So I'm just an idiot. Actually, I also forgot Smart Hulk, Joe Fixit and War Hulk from the Hulk Classics line, plus FA Hulk from ML9. So I'm just an idiot.

I just realized that you forgot about Planet Hulk, who has brown pants. But then I realized you were probably <i>trying</i> to forget about Planet Hulk.

Or do you want me to describe it? It's the Riddler in his question-mark-covered business suit, saying "Riddle me this...do <strong>you</strong> know to get free money from the government?" A reference to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Lesko" rel="nofollow">Matthew Lesko</a>, whose ads are almost, but not quite, as annoying as the ones featuring Billy Mays or Bob from Enzyte. @Tom-Tom: You mean a scan?

I too find it to be a shame that more figural artists aren't given their credits. It's somewhat shaming for me to praise incredible figures like Icons Hulk, ML6 Deadpool, Face-Off Captain America and Masterpiece Prime, and not even know who was responsible. For quite a while I didn't even know who Dave Cortez and Phil Ramirez were, and in fact I now know that I own more pieces of their art than I can remember. NECA continues to prove themselves to be a class act with moves like having credits on their packaging. After learning what they did to get the Horsemen's FanEx molds out of hostage status, I've sworn to keep a sharp consumer eye on their stuff. And it's paid off...has everyone seen their upcoming Ryu Hayabusa? YIKES! <a href="http://www.actionfigureinsider.com/main/?p=599" rel="nofollow">http://www.actionfigureinsider.com/main/?p=599</a> I find those Tonner dolls just…creepy.
