This figure comes from Hasbro's 'Fin Fang Foom' line of Hulk-related Marvel Legends figures - she's referred to only as 'She-Hulk' (presumably so as not to put off potential buyers who don't know the character's history), but she's obviously the Savage She-Hulk, from Shulkie's debut title back in the early 1980s. Savage Shulkie hasn't had an action figure before, so as you can imagine (if you know my fondness for her), I was very pleased to spot one on sale.
First of all, I need to point out two things about the photo I've taken of her. One is that she's missing her slip - she comes packaged in a plain white slip, reminiscent of Savage She-Hulk's typical attire, the tattered remnant of her underwear (her equivalent of Hulk's purple shorts). More on that later. Second is that the accessories she's using - the metal pipe and the cracked roadway base - aren't hers, but are just pieces I pulled out of my accessories drawer to spice her up a bit. The base comes from a Dawn figure, the pipe... actually I can't remember. But besides her piece of the Fin Fang Foom Build-A-Figure (the head and neck), She-Hulk doesn't have any accessories of her own.
There's only one thing really wrong with this figure - we'll get to that in a moment. Her sculpt is quite good - the body is identical (besides the colour) with the one Hasbro are using for Shanna the She-Devil in their Shanna/Ka-Zar two-pack, and it's a powerful but feminine body, athletically powerful rather than bodybuilder-muscular. The body has underwear sculpted onto it, painted a clean white - the sculpt is for Shanna's homemade animal skin bikini, but the ragged edges of it suit She-Hulk too; the slip She-Hulk is packaged in fits fairly well over the top, though the final version being sold lacks the pointed 'tattered' lower edge that the prototype had, which matched the art of Shulkie in Savage She-Hulk. Still, you can fix that with a pair of scissors. Her hair is sculpted in a wild, windswept style, matching the savage aspect of the character, and the face is particularly good work, a very convincing match for the 1980s art-styled She-Hulk, but appropriate to a modern figure; she'd fit well into any collection of Marvel figures.
She's well articulated too, with a ball joint neck, swivel/peg ball joint shoulders, elbows, wrists, torso, hips, knees and ankles. The lack of double-peg knees may annoy some people who are used to seeing them, but it's been my experience that it takes a lot of additional joints in the hips and ankles to really get any use out of being able to bend the knee right down - I find the ball joints here quite sufficient for everyday posing. The head has a tendency to pop off if you tilt it back too far, but it's easily reattacted, and there's no damage being caused - it helps if you want to remove the slip, too.
The one problem is her size - re-using the Shanna body may make sense visually, but height-wise it means she's the same height as any other tallish woman in the Marvel Legends 6" scale, and that's just not right. We've seen Hasbro-manufactured She-Hulks before - the standard one, and the San Diego 'lawyer' variant - and their best quality was that they towered appropriately over other figures, properly representing Shulkie's 6'7" stature. If you display this figure on its own, it looks just fine - you can just assume she's a tall 5" figure - but surrounded by other Marvel Legends, her lack of height is a real drawback so far as character accuracy goes.
Another problem, though not to do with the figure itself, is the cost - these are more expensive than DC Direct figures, and regardless of the superior articulation, I don't think there's any question that the DCD figures are the better product. Part of the cost is the piece of Fin Fang Foom, which no doubt Hasbro regards as a good thing - it'll encourage people to buy the whole line, including figures they might otherwise have passed by, in order to get the complete dragon. But for buyers like me, who just want She-Hulk, you end up paying a lot more money than the figure itself is worth. The height issue aside this is a good figure, but I'm far from enamoured of Hasbro as a company because of it.
