HULK SMASH PUNY KNIGHT MODELS!
March 7, 2014 by dracs
Avengers Assemble! Two more of Marvel's ultimate hero team are busting out from Knight Models. It's the Hulk vs Captain America. HULK IS THE STRONGEST!
I am getting serious shiny syndrome over these minis. And you won't like me, when I have shiny syndrome.
My one complaint about the minis is that Hulk's arms look so heavily muscled that I doubt he'd be able to move his elbow. But then he is the Hulk. You don't need much in the way of flexibility when you can juggle tanks.
These two classic heroes join their fellow Avengers which were previously released by Knight Models.
I hope this growing range of 35mm scale Marvel minis could mean we are in for a Marvel tabletop game, like Knight Models did for Batman Arkham City.
Who is your favourite superhero?

I don’t know who painted that Hulk mini, but damn! I don’t even like the Hulk all that much, and that mini looks awesome.
I’ve been eyeing the Batman game but the one thing that has been holding me back is that, 90%, people are going to want to play Batman + friends or Joker + “friends”. Let’s be real here, no one wants to play Penguin or Two-Face. A Marvel game however I would jump all over in a heartbeat. Overall I am much more interested in Marvel heroes than DC ones. Plus if their approach to a Marvel game is the universe as a whole instead of a narrow-focus (like with Batman) I feel you’ll see a much larger variety of characters… Read more »
“…90% of the time…”
I dunno, Two-Face is certainly a popular enough character.
But yeah, playing as The Penguin in a game doesn’t seem massively enticing, I’ll admit that.
You forgot Ra’z Al Ghul. Army of ninjas, led by The Daemons Head. Or, you know, Liam Neeson. Surely that’s got to be pretty tempting?
I would expect Penguin to act like a mercenary, someone you add to an existing crew to get some kind of bonus or special ability. He is an arms dealer after all (in the Arkham games at least). In the same vein I could see Catwoman ending up on either side. I could totally see people playing Two-Face over the Joker though. And as @compel says, Ra’z Al Ghul and his ninjas would be my pick before any of them. I think the biggest problem is actually Batman. You have one hero and his collection of sidekicks. That would get… Read more »
Personally I would go with the Riddler everytime
I’m surprised that Knight Models haven’t also done any Arrow minis, aside from the slightly-Arrowish Green Arrow one they’ve done. – That’d bring more ‘good’ independent factions to the Batman minis game too, if you have Ollie and Diggle doing awesome stuff.
I mean, just take a look at the ‘Arrow – Full Circle’ trailer. That’d just fit right into the game.

They had me with Iron man and wolverine, but hulk and captain america too? I think if I play any of the hero games, its marvel. Theres always also the potential for Marvel versus DC, THAT would be interesting.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
