We’ve all been waiting with bated breath to see what the Hasbro SDCC 2019 Exclusive Marvel Legends product would be this year—and, well… we don’t have to wait any more! For a nice change of pace with all the recent leaks, the San Diego Comic Con exclusive this year is something totally unexpected! For those who don’t like the exclusive two-pack Hulk with Wolverine, you’ve got another option: the SDCC Marvel Legends Vintage Hulk on Retro Toybiz-inspired cardback (with crushed pipe accessory)!

We Marvel Legends collectors have been really spoiled over the years as far as SDCC exclusives go, receiving whole sets of figures for themes like X-Force, Thunderbolts, Asgard, Defenders, Doctor Strange and more.

And while it’s still possible that a multipack for this year is still forthcoming and is yet to be announced, the first ML item announced for the show is coming all by its lonesome: a remixed version of the upcoming 80th Anniversary Hulk figure!

Basically, this is the soon-to-be-released Hulk mold from the two-pack with Wolverine, but with a new head, no shirt or alternate hands, and darker purple pants. “My” Hulk is the one from the two-pack with the bright purple pants and more classic head, but I know a lot of 90s fans are gonna dig this more modern version.

Obviously this figure is too large and expensive to be included as part of the $19.99 waves of Retro figures on Toybiz style packaging, so I love that Hasbro has found a way to get him out to collectors that want him.

And yes, he comes with a crushed lead pipe accessory, just like my first-ever 5” Hulk figure from the Toybiz Marvel Super Heroes line. Hasbro swoops in for the win via nostalgia once again!

That said, it’s a little disappointing that the Toybiz Hulk this is inspired by is actually much better represented by the figure in the 80th Anniversary two-pack with Wolverine. But I suppose you can’t win ’em all!

This SDCC 2019 Exclusive Hulk Retro Figure will be priced at $34.99 at the convention next month, with a limited supply being put on the Hasbro Pulse website for non-attendees afterwards. I don’t think this version will have the same natural demand that the classic iteration from the two-pack does, but with its exclusivity and limited nature, I’m certain this will be a swift sell-out both at the convention and online all the same.

Thoughts on the first (perhaps only) Hasbro Marvel Legends San Diego Comic Con 2019 Exclusive? Are you still holding out hope for additional items to be announced for the show, or will you be satisfied if this is the singular ML entry this year?
