One of the Hulk's most popular arch nemesis is Emil Blonsky, a former special forces operative whose obsession with power made him a monster. A combination of the Super Soldier serum and Hulk's gamma blood resulted in Blonsky being transformed into the being known as The Abomination. This statue is based on the movie and features Abomination in a fighting pose as well. His base interlocks with that of The Hulk to create a fighting scene diorama.
Package Contents:
Aside from having a black box similar to the Hulk’s, it also has the gold seal indicating the production run of the statue. The bonus is an extra head sculpt of Hulk, which replaces (via magnet) the current Hulk roaring head sculpt.
Collector’s Perspective:
What is interesting here is that by buying the 2 statues you instantly have your own diorama. Whenever I buy toys I prefer to collect the heroes, rarely do I buy the villains. I would probably get these 2 statues because of two things: One, the extra head sculpt of Hulk and two, their bases interlocks together to form a battle scene. Abomination's 12inch size also makes it a great display piece for me.
PhoTOYgrapher’s Perspective:
Statues are limited because they are not pose able and you get 2 kinds of poses - Museum or action pose. The clincher here is the fact that if you own both Hulk and Abomination you can re create the battle scene from the movie.
If you are a bit adventurous then you can probably bring this statue out on a street with the city as a background and do some cool perspective shot there. An added touch would be some good light setups. On the other hand if you were restricted (like me) then a good option would be to polish your Photoshop skills and do a composite (meaning combining Abomination and a digital background) like what some of my colleagues are doing. If you are more interested with this then check out my friend Bleau Aquino's site at http://www.flickr.com/photos/11178052@N03/. This guy’s creative talent will amaze you.
1.) I never liked how the movie version of Abomination turned out. He does not look as massive as he is in the comics.
