Marvel Legends Valkyrie & Hulk
I have to admit, the breadth of my comic knowledge is very narrow, mainly limited to the brief time that I collected them back in the 90’s. As such, I had no idea who Samantha Parrington is and how she was related to Bruce Banner until I put my considerable Google-Fu and Wiki-jutsu skills to the work.
Apparently, Brunnhilde the Valkyrie had been trapped by The Enchantress and she forced the soul into socialite Parrington’s body and threw the man-hating Brunnhilde at The Hulk. She is supposed to have battled him to a draw, though I don’t see how that happened since the bio at the back of the box clearly states that The Hulk is the stronger of the two, and enjoys invunerability. Anyway, the spell eventually wore off and Sarah returned to normal and walked away.
I know I say this on every Hasbro review I do, but jeez, I wished they’d get another guy to do their toy photography. The way the showcase their figures on the back is just positively dreary. The photos are clear and crisp, but there’s no imagination to it at all. They’re ACTION figures, guys. Make them DO stuff!
The box that this 2-pack is housed in hasn’t seen any changes since the last few times we saw it. It has the same shape and style as the one’s that the Iron Man/Maria Hill figures came in, just with different artwork. Then again, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. That box was pretty good the first time around and it hasn’t changed now. It allows you to open the package easily with a pair of scissors to cut some tape and a few rubber bands. No twist ties. Then if you want to store them (or sell them), it’s easy to replace them in the box.
In no time at all, you’ve got our Jolly Green Giant and his playmate out of their plasitc prisons.
Now they FIGHT!
