This set isn't too bad. Honestly, I hate having yet another Wolverine, but this comic is such an iconic image, that is seems okay to have these two packaged together. Furthermore, I didn't have First Appearance Wolverine, so I'm glad it's included here, even if I didn't need it.
It isn't a bad set, but the $18 a spent seemed kind of high for essentially one figure.
To my knowledge, this Hulk figure is the same as the single carded version that just came out. It's a very solid figure.
This is the standard Wolverine sculpt from multiple figures. The head is a little different, but seems to be almost the same as single carded First Appearance Wolverine, but this one doesn't seem to have the same whiskers painted on, but I could be wrong.
That's about enough for Wolverine, as I'm sure nobody will be buying this two pack for him.
Here are some comparison shots to past Hulk figures in this line. This is the Classic Avengers Team Pack Hulk, and honestly I've never been a fan of the Kirby Hulk (Sorry), so I don't think that figure is in any way better than the new one.
Here is the Secret Wars Hulk. Prior to obtaining this new figure, this had been my display Hulk. I've always liked everything about this figure but the neon green. It isn't bad, but it seems a little bright. This new figure is obviously a little smaller, but seems much more proportional. I mean look at the hips to shoulder width on that Secret Wars figure!
Here is the previous single carded Hulk figure. The only thing this figure really had on the Secret Wars one was the open hand. I thought it was a nice touch.
Here we have my previously favorite Hulk. World War Hulk! If you read comics, but haven't read this, I highly recommend you check it out. It's great. Anyway, this new figure seems to be the same sculpt minus the armor. It also has a new head, and pants obviously. The color is a little more "green" as well.
Here is another shot of World War Hulk without his armor. As you can see, very similar.
Out of all the Hulk, this new one is clearly the best in my opinion.
Even though this new Hulk is not as wide, it is actually a little taller. It still doesn't seem quite in scale, as he isn't much taller than a head over Captain America (seemed like an average height guy).
Overall, I would say this set is a buy. If you can find the single carded Hulk, I recommend you get that instead. This pack does include the famous Hulk VS Wolverine comic book, so if you have never read that, it might be worth it to get the set. If you are like most Marvel Universe collectors, you probably don't need another Wolverine.
