My Hulkster display...

[HardyKOfan01]

Well let me tell you something, brother! This is a fantastic collection of Hogans you got there, dude!

In all seriousness, it’s pretty awesome to see almost all the different eras of Hogan represented in figure form. Just waiting on that Mr. America now. If I had more room, I’d definitely make dedicated shelves to a specific wrestler that I have the most of. Would have a shelf just for The Hardy Boyz, Triple H, Kevin Owens, and Seth Rollins.

Admittedly and obviously not a Hogan fan, but I grew up a big Hulkamaniac. The one era of his I can still enjoy is his 2002 run. So I’d glad accept an Ultimate if done right. Needs new heads.

Same here on that 2002 run. He seemed happy to just have a job at that point. He did his share of jobs at the time too, including tapping out clean to Angle and a young Brock putting him to sleep in a bear hug. He also wanted acceptance from the current locker room at the time and changed with the rest of the boys as opposed to having his own private room or Special treatment. And Formed a tag team with edge who was a hulkamaniac growing up.

Hey gang.

I got my Mr. Americas in earlier this week, and while I think they're a lot of fun, I couldn't resist sending them to the gym and the tanning booth.

Now, I know this won't be to everyone's liking, but honestly for me, the scant amount of non-tanned skin showing on the fully-masked heads/portraits is a very small price to live with. In my head canon, Mr. America applied sunblock with a greater SPF on his face during that tanning session.

Also, I felt that I had way too many yellow boots and yellow trunks, and I wanted to add some color variety to my display.

Thanks to triplehpotter7 for his tips; he's the best! And also to a couple of folks on YouTube who provided nice tutorials. Granted, I destroyed one Ultimate Hulk during my efforts, but I really needed the practice.

So, here are my my customizing attempts, and how they look in my overall display.

[stormbreaker]

Redoing my Hulkster display got me thinking about which incarnations I’d consider to add to it.

The ‘80s and early ‘90s are pretty much covered. Aside from minor variant accessories such as the sweet Python Power bandana, and maybe an American Made shirt and a couple of other things, I don’t really need another ‘80s Hogan. Although some unsplit shirts would be nice.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see a figure from his January 23rd 1984 title match with the Iron Sheik (red American Made shirt and big green belt).

I also think we’ll see a figure with the Ult. Edition 13 belt with a gold finish. And an Ichiban Hogan from his Japan run.

I think above and beyond all incarnations we need an Ultimate Edition Hulk Still Rules with the Undisputed title belt.

I hope there are no “must-have” (for me) Hogans in the new crowdfunding set!

Hey gang,

(Too funny; just as I started this post, Eye of the Tiger started playing on the radio.)

I did a few tweaks to some of my Hulk figures, so I thought I'd share.

Here's the Legends figure that just came out, combined with an extra Fan Takeover I bought:




I always liked Hogan in all-white attire, like in his match against Nikolai Volkoff on SNME. Maybe I'll pick up an American Made shirt one day.




Here's an Ultimate 13 wearing the Defining Moments shirt and belt. I switched out the headband from the Mega Powers set for the Defining Moments headband. I wasn't a fan of plastic shirts until I used it in this fashion. I still prefer cloth shirts, but this one works great for the tearing pose:

WrestleMania 9 Hogan, using my original Fan Takeover, and a Hall of Fame figure I got off of Ebay:




Red and White Hulkster (Just a switch out with kneepads). I like the difference that made.



Swapping out the red trunks from a Coliseum Hogan, and using blue from a Mr. America:



And finally, a bit of the Multiverse thrown in. Here's Mr. America from an alternate Earth, one in which by changing the color of his trunks, he was inspired to greater heights, and captured the US Championship. I like the more superhero look this gave him, along with the belt being used as a sash. It's reminiscent of a beauty pageant winner (Miss America), as well as Marvel Comics' Hercules (who sometimes wears a sash in a similar fashion).

If you look at them all together...



I could probably only fit two more at most to my Hogan army. The one definite I want is an Ultimate Hulk Still Rules with the Undisputed Championship. Otherwise, I think I have every era and major look pretty much covered.

What exactly did you do for the Mr. America kitbash? I have a spare elite tan Hogan that I was thinking of using for Mr. America.

I used the lower half of Mr. America and the upper half of an Ultimate 13 Hogan.

I can’t crack an Elite without destroying it. Otherwise I’d make more customs.

There are some master customizers here on the forum like Apocalypse who can crack Elites without a problem.

Thanks!

I’m tempted to get Summerslam Hogan in fatigues. It’s a great, unique look. Plus that bandana is sweet. One funny thing about it is that whenever I see pics of it in the package, at first glance I always mistake the mask accessory for a hand grenade! 😅

And, you can’t see it because it’s in the box, but this edition comes with a Pollywog-stage Demogorgon accessory.

Ok, let's see if I can do this.

First up, here are the Coliseum "variants" I received when I opened up my Hogan vs Funk set from Mattel Creations.

Wait how many hogan variants are there in the colliseum collection?
