It’s a shame Christmas is over, because the traditional colours have arrived–albeit, in Hulk form. After flying off the shelves in the first run, these Marvel Select figures are back and possibly better than ever, which is all the more impressive when you realise they’re exactly the same ones. They stand about 10 inches tall, which put them into accurate scale with the rest of the figures from the collection. Each one comes with a stony base, showing off the strength (or just the density) of the Red/Green behemoth.

Hasbro’s Marvel Universe line expands at NYCC 2011–October 13-16 at the Javits Center–with the Marvel Universe Special Edition Compound Hulk figure. You can only get your hands on Compound Hulk, which was inspired by HULK #30 by Jeff Parker and Ed McGuinness at the NY Comic Con 2011.
What does HULK writer Jeff Parker think about seeing his and Ed’s creation turned into a toy? “This is not surprising at all considering how big Ed factored into that character–everything he thinks of makes a great toy,” Parker said. “It’s very cool, and they better send us each one and not make us share just because it’s two Hulks in one!”
“The first cool thing was seeing Jeff take a completely absurd idea and make it work on so many levels,” added McGuinness. “The second cool thing was seeing said absurd idea become a really great looking toy. I can’t believe I get paid to do this!”
What’s more powerful than Hulk and Red Hulk? The two Hulks combined into Compound Hulk! This 3 3/4″ Marvel Universe figure recreates a memorable moment from this year’s HULK #30, when the two hulking enemies were combined into one red-and-green behemoth! The figure is based on the artwork of superstar artist Ed McGuinness, and his artwork adorns the special edition blister card and outer packaging of this one-of-a-kind figure!

We’ve all heard the urban tales about fast food giants making cheap meals out of unsavory ingredients like meal worms and headless chickens.
Well, now, Taco Bell is under the spotlight for allegedly questionable practices. An Alabama law firm has filed a class-action lawsuit against the chain saying the stuff they call “seasoned beef” is only about 36 percent meat.
The firm tested the “meat mixture” and found that it contained ingredients like water, wheat oats, soy lecithin, maltodrextrin, modified corn starch and an anti-dusting agent.
According to the complaint, Taco Bell does not meet the minimum requirements set forth by the USDA to label its product as “beef” and uses false advertising.
Here is the official reply from Taco Bell:
STATEMENT REGARDING CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT – January 26, 2011
“The lawsuit is bogus and filled with completely inaccurate facts. Our beef is 100% USDA inspected, just like the quality beef you would buy in a supermarket and prepare in your home. It then is slow-cooked and simmered with proprietary seasonings and spices to provide Taco Bell’s signature taste and texture. Our seasoned beef recipe contains 88% quality USDA-inspected beef and 12% seasonings, spices, water and other ingredients that provide taste, texture and moisture. The lawyers got their facts wrong. We take this attack on our quality very seriously and plan to take legal action against them for making false statements about our products. There is no basis in fact or reality for this suit and we will vigorously defend the quality of our products from frivolous and misleading claims such as this.”
What is in Taco Bell’s recipe for seasoned beef?
“We’re cooking with a proprietary recipe to give our seasoned beef flavor and texture, just like you would with any recipe you cook at home.
For example, when you make chili, meatloaf or meatballs, you add your own recipe of seasoning and spices to give the beef flavor and texture, otherwise, it would taste just like unseasoned ground beef. We do the same thing with our recipe for seasoned beef.
Our recipe for seasoned beef includes ingredients you’d find in your home or in the supermarket aisle today:
• 88% USDA-inspected quality beef
• 3-5% water for moisture
• 3-5% spices (including salt, chili pepper, onion powder, tomato powder, sugar, garlic powder, cocoa powder and a proprietary blend of Mexican spices and natural flavors).
• 3-5% oats, starch, sugar, yeast, citric acid, and other ingredients that contribute to the quality of our product.
Our seasoned beef contains no “extenders” to add volume, as some might use. For more information about our ingredients go to http://www.tacobell.com.”

President and Chief Concept Officer

Good reply from the Taco Bell corporate guy….Red Hulk’s favorite snack is the Quad Steak Burrito….he eats 24 of these babies in one sitting.

Al Yeganeh, “The Original SoupMan” who inspired Seinfeld’s “Soup Nazi” character on the popular TV show, reopened his store in Manhattan earlier this summer and I had to pay a visit.
Yeganeh, who hates the “Soup Nazi” character, apparently did not show up for the ceremonial cutting of a zucchini to reopen his store. He even banned Jerry Seinfeld from his stall after the “Soup Nazi” episode aired in November 1995.
For 20 years Yeganeh had very strict rules for his customers: “Pick the soup you want! Have your money ready! Move to the extreme left after ordering!” and if you fail to obey these rules there is “no soup for you!”
Yaganeh sold the rights to his business in 2004 and closed his 100 square foot stall on 55th street. He still, however, controls the brand and his famous lobster bisque, mulligatawny, crab bisque, and lentil soups.
Bob Bertrand, “The Original SoupMan” president, said, “He’s still the heart of the company. We cannot change the recipes, we do not change the recipes, every time we want to have a new soup he develops it for us. We have the rules, but they’re not enforced.
Bertrand responded to Yaganeh’s failure to show up to the reopening, “That’s his mystique. He’s an artist and all artists are a little bit eccentric. This is his passion, he takes pride and he takes his soup very, very seriously.”
He added, “As much as they depicted him in Seinfeld, he’s a businessman, he knew people were waiting for an hour, he didn’t have time to chit chat. Move the line, get more people in, sell more soup.”
As much as the “Soup Nazi” character made him famous, Bertrand said Yaganeh has “never embraced Seinfeld.”
Review: The soup is simply amazing! Just one tip…follow the rule. Place your order, pay and move to the left. If there is no bread in the bag…forget it and leave.

RED HULK from FALL OF THE HULKS is the latest statue from the Japanese statue wizards at Kotobukiya! It stands a full 13-inches tall and looks as imposing as you might expect from one of the best toy houses out there.
Here’s the word direct from the studio!
The Hulk has been a staple superhero of the Marvel Comics for years, battling foes across the universe in epic storylines. In 2008 the gamma-powered powerhouse met his match in a mysterious crimson-hued mirror image: the RED HULK. Massively powerful and frighteningly intelligent, the villain has all of the Hulk’s strengths and none of his weaknesses. With a mean streak matching his might, the Red Hulk (also known as “Rulk”) has beaten many of Marvel Comics’ superheroes and remains a threat to the entire Earth in the current Fall of the Hulk story. Based on the stunning art of Ed McGuinness, the Red Hulk Fine Art Statue continues Koto’s tradition of excellence.
The unstoppable Red Hulk rampages across a blasted volcanic landscape, preparing a lethal blow for his foes. The brute is absolutely covered in rippling muscles, with muscular definition rivaling (and even exceeding) that of Bruce Banner’s gamma-powered form. The detail on the tremendous villain’s intricate sculpt highlights every sinew and fiber of his being, while the fantastic paint work emphasizes his skin’s subtle crimson gradations. A dark smoky gray appears on the Red Hulk’s shredded pants, close-cropped hair, and finger and toe nails. Gleaming white teeth stand in stark contrast to the monster’s gaping maw, while his tiny beady eyes shine with a hellish yellow.
You can display the Red Hulk in two different ways according to your preferences with two included heads; one depicts the monster grinning in evil glee, while the other is a mask of rage crisscrossed by a yellow “X.”

By Haley Cohen. It was like something out of M. Night Shyamalan’s Signs. A gaping, perfectly circular sinkhole appeared Sunday in Guatemala City, devouring a three-story building in the process. The gargantuan cavity appears to be about 60 feet wide and 30 stories deep, according to National Geographic. If it wasn’t caused by aliens, how did the sinkhole form? Where did its insides go? And why the heck is it so round? We consulted David Bercovici and Mark Brandon, both professors of geology and geophysics at Yale University, to fill in the gaps in our sinkhole knowledge. Find their condensed and combined answers below.
What caused the sinkhole?
Sinkholes often appear in areas where the rock below the ground is limestone, carbonate rock, salt beds, or rocks that can be naturally dissolved by circulating ground water. As the sediment dissolves, caves and air pockets develop underneath the land surface. If there is not enough support for the land above the spaces, then the ground collapses and results in a sinkhole. Natural depressions that collect water and man-made structures such as houses and streets with poor drainage are especially vulnerable to sinkholes. Heavy rainfall, like that from Tropical Storm Agatha, only accelerates the process.
Where did all the material that used to be inside the hole go?
Most of it is eroded and washed to the bottom of the hole long before the final collapse into an open hole. When the hole opens, the surface material simply drops to the bottom.
Why the heck is it so round?
Holes often occur when the dissolution of bedrock results in a surface depression that collects water. As the depression gathers more water, the water leaks downward and eats away at more bedrock, catalyzing its further dissolution. Eventually a vertical, circular hole forms straight through the bedrock.
What is the REAL cause of the Sinkhole?
UFO? Aliens? NOPE. Very simple. It was the…..Red Hulk. A military surveillance camera captured this highly sensitive photo (see below) of the Sinkhole immediately after it appeared.
Why did the Red Hulk cause this sinkhole? I do have a theory….it probably was a matter of urgency. While leaping from country to country, Red Hulk needed to take a crap and he created a poop hole (since he used to be a Cub Scout).
Why not use a restroom? Look at the dude….he doesn’t speak spanish…how was he gonna find a can. I read in the medical journal that it is not healthy to hold it. When you gotta go…let it out! The helicopter pilot was spooked and kept a good distance (I don’t blame him as the stench was probably unbearable…you would need an industrial grade Fabreeze to mask that smell). Yes…what you are looking at below is a giant size Latrine! I just pity the fool who cleans that up!
We do have some Red Hulk Figures available from our store at www.cmdstore.com.

Red Hulk from the Marvel Select series is my favorite friend. He follows me everywhere….but he has to eat freakin’ 10 times a day. He’s always hungry so I have to pack lots of extra meals to go!
Red Hulk loves southern comfort food but it is hard to find it up in the North. According to my little buddy, Campbell’s Chunky Chicken and Sausage Gumbo soup hits the spot…..if it’s good enough for him….I recommend it too!

Article by Chris Nikolopoulos (Montreal Comic Book Examiner)
In May of 1962, the world got its first taste of the Incredible Hulk, created by legends Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. Dr. Bruce Banner, showered by gamma radiation, became one of the most iconic characters in comic book history. For decades, the Hulk wreaked havoc in the Marvel Universe, particularly within himself. For years, he was on his own.
Today, it’s an entirely different situation. Walking around the world, and even in other parts of the universe, are Hulk-related beings. To be more specific, there are 8. One is a cousin, another one’s a best friend, two of them are Hulk’s children, and two are still unknown. Marvel Comics is set to begin another big Hulk event called “Fall of the Hulks,” a story in the making since 2006’s “Planet Hulk.”
It’s safe to say that some people might be a little mixed up. This article is for them. This is a quick rundown on where these Hulks come from and where they stand now.
HULK: Dr. Bruce Banner was showered by gamma radiation and became the Hulk. For many years, he was alone. Right now, he’s been deprived from turning into the Hulk by his most recent of enemies, the Red Hulk. Right now, as Bruce Banner, he’s trying to teach his son, Skaar, how to kill the Hulk should Banner ever turn into the jolly green giant again.
SHE-HULK: Jennifer Walters is Banner’s cousin who needed a blood transfusion after a car accident. Bruce was the only family available to give it to her, and thus, she has his radioactive blood inside her, turning her into She-Hulk. She is also a lawyer, often representing the super-human community. Right now, she is MIA since Incredible Hulk #600, and is presumed dead.
RED HULK: Red Hulk, or Rulk for short, is a creation of Gen. Thunderbolt Ross and M.O.D.O.K. as part of the Gamma Power Super Soldier Program. They successfully create a more cunning and calculating Hulk than the original. Unlike the green Hulk, who becomes stronger the angrier he gets, Rulk emits strong levels of heat with rage. His human alter ego remains a mystery to those in the story and the readers, as well.
RED SHE-HULK: Very little is known about Red She-Hulk. Much like her male counterpart, her identity is still a mystery. She possesses super strength, invulnerability, and a strong healing factor that even survived an attack from mutant Wolverine.
SKARR: During the “Planet Hulk” event, Hulk married Caiera and had a child. That child is Skaar, a savage in his own right. After being banished from his home planet, Sakaar, by his mother’s spirit, Skaar came to earth to kill his father, the Hulk. When Banner was depowered and no longer able to turn into his big ol’ green self, he decided to train Skaar on how to kill the Hulk, should his Hulking powers ever return.
A-BOMB: Rick Jones is the reason why Bruce Banner became the Hulk. Banner saved the teenager from a gamma bomb testing, but absorbed all the radiation himself, turning him into the Hulk. Rick stuck around to help Banner deal with the monster inside him. Throughout the years, Rick has been one of Marvel’s most important sidekicks, assisting other heroes such as Captain America, the Avengers, and both Captain Mar-Vell and his son Captain Marvel. Much like Red Hulk, Jones is experimented on by M.O.D.O.K. and Gen. Ross, who turn him into A-Bomb, a new version of one of Hulk’s biggest enemies, Abomination. With much of his intelligence intact, A-Bomb is now helping Banner “raise” his son, Skaar.
LYRA (SAVAGE SHE-HULK): Lyra is the genetically engineered daughter of Hulk and Thundra from another reality. When her people were at risk of extinction, she was brought to the main Marvel Universe (Earth-616) to prevent that. Unlike her “father,” the angrier Lyra gets, the weaker she becomes. She-Hulk and she struck up a friendship, in which Lyra was being helped into adapting to her new world. Now, Lyra is out looking for her friend, who is missing.
With all these Hulks running around, nobody knows what to expect and how dangerous their powerful unpredictability can be. Unfortunately for all these Hulks, M.O.D.O.K. has been a part of a cabal of villains that also include the Leader, Doctor Doom, Mad Thinker, Egghead, Wizard, and Red Ghost. All these other villains got their hands on the knowledge M.O.D.O.K. used to create Red Hulk. They plan to use this knowledge to begin the “Fall of the Hulks.” The event will be written by Jeph Loeb, Greg Pak, and Jeff Parker, while the art is from Ed McGuinness, Paul Pelletier, and John Romita, Jr..
Here is a checklist of the issues that tie-in to this event (December 2009 to April 2010)
Fall of the Hulks: Alpha (One-Shot)
Fall of the Hulks: Gamma (One-Shot)
Hulk #19-22
Incredible Hulk #606-609
Red Hulk #01-04
The Savage She-Hulks #01-02
My favorite HULK is…..Red Hulk. Buy the Red Hulk Marvel Select Action at Cmdstore.com:
