So yeah. After almost 10 years, I spent two freaking hours with customer support to get control of this page again.
Why? So that I can start posting about my Hulk Build. My white whale. Errr green meanie. Whatever you want to call it.

So... where to start?
Why not start with the plan.
The plan is for a 10-foot tall Hulk. I've never seen one done. In fact I've never seen a Hulk costume that approached anything close to realistic... except for a Facebook friend of mine named Salomon Boudreau from Quebec. His is quite good. But there's room for some substantial changes.

Funny, note. I did a lot of design work for a 12-foot Hulk, but somewhere a long the way, I flipped the numbers and it just turned into a 10 foot version. While I think the 10 foot will be better and still allow enough room for mechanics above my head, little twists of fate like that fascinate me.
Let's go into more detail:
Let's go into more detail:
- 10 foot tall
- Head moves with wearer - side to side, up and down
- Jaws open and close with wearer
- Arms move realistically
- Elbows move realistically
- Hands and fingers move realistically
- Video unit to see in the costume
- Audio unit for Hulk sounds - both lines of dialog and perhaps sound effects like stomps and damage
- Ability to dress and redress basic costume for different versions of the Hulk
1. Savage Hulk
2. Gladiator Hulk
There's the alternate version of Gladiator Hulk in... uhm... spa attire.
3. Maestro Hulk
I got to meet George Perez multiple times. One of the absolute highlights of any con. Such a sweet, smart, funny man.

4. Professor Hulk
There are two versions of Professor Hulk - the Comic version and the MCU version.

There are really a bunch of alternate versions of the MCU Hulk too.
Here's what I call the "Jumpsuit" version.

The internet seems to call this the "Team Suit", as they're all wearing it to go back in time during Endgame.
Of course there's "Sweater Weatha" Hulk.
5. Indestructable Hulk
Such a great run that is totally slept on by most folks. Banner trying to make a place for himself and show his worth - making a deal with the Devil (aka S.H.I.E.L.D.) to do it.
The armor presents a great opportunity to do a completely different look. I understand the backstory for it, but I'll always find Hulk in armor a bit ridiculous.

Is there another version of Hulk you'd like to see me add?
Tell me in the comments below.
Some other considerations for the overall Hulk project.
I feel like that's a really good target for a costume that looks like the Hulk come to life.
Once the costume is done, I'll post about the history of the build... it's been a wild ride.
It won't be easy or quick or cheap, but I'm going to continue this journey and make it happen. No matter what.

Some other considerations for the overall Hulk project.
- Able to hold and wear props
- Life support equipment
- Cooling equipment
- Bio-break equipment (my wife suggested a "condom cath" that would allow restroom breaks)
- Communication equipment
