Understood, but what's surprising to me is that prototype is close enough to being final that pre-orders will be up soon; I thought it looked like it had a ways to go yet. Secondly, I was surprised that Plastic Enemies didn't pose the "rubber" arms at all. To me that says that either the arms aren't rubber and don't bend at all, or at the very least that prototype doesn't have rubber arms but the final will.
Although a bit harsh, I can understand this. If I never had a clue that HT was doing a Hulk figure & I saw this pic .....
Although a bit harsh, I can understand this. If I never had a clue that HT was doing a Hulk figure & I saw this pic & someone said "Hey, check out this Hasbro deluxe Hulk figure. It's only $25.", I don't know if I'd even be surprised. I might even be thinking "Nah, pass, that Barbie Catwoman looks better."

Better to see some more official pics. That pic is [IMG
New sculpt means a new mold is necessary.
This isn't a TrueType body that can be covered with clothes. There appears to be much more engineering/planning involved with Hulk.
Let's take the Iron Monger as an example.
It's 17.5" in height. It comes with an Obadiah Stane head sculpt. There's no real need to "hide" shoulder, elbow, knees, etc. joints. I bring that up because (obviously) the joints for a Hulk figure need much more time spent in R&D. This is evident by how vocal the members here are with the elbows.
List price for the Iron Monger... $479.
So, even at $350 for a bare bones Hulk might be underpriced. Who knows? We're all speculating still.
You're not allowed to utter a single complaint about any figure from now on.
