Certain to be one of the most controversial figures announced by Hot Toys this year, today the company announced another new entry in the Hot Toys Iron Man 3 series.

Hot Toys was cruising along at breakneck speed with announcements about the Iron Man 3 Hot Toys figures line–right up until the movie came out two months ago.

But today, Hot Toys has definitely proven all of those people wrong. The Hot Toys Avengers Hulk figure has now been released overseas, and it is one massive beauty of a figure!

They say you never forget your first time getting a Hot Toys figure. Well, this is my first time, and I know it’s going to be unforgettable, because the Hot Toys sixth-scale figure that I’ve received first (I have about a dozen on pre-order) is one that I’ve been waiting literally an entire year for: the Hot Toys Avengers Loki figure!
