“Jennifer Walters, attorney at law.”
The Jennifer Walters She-Hulk figure from the 2022 Disney+ series was released as part of the Infinity Ultron BAF wave of Marvel Legends, a wave that just missed the change to window-less packaging. The wave itself featured a mix of other Disney+ characters such as Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight and Hawkeye.
She-Hulk is an entirely new figure and one that has considerable shelf presence standing at 7 inches tall (18cm) and towering over most standard characters. She is presented in her final outfit from the show as designed by Luke Jacobson, a close-fitting vest and shorts with a textured finish with a predominantly purple colour trimmed in lighter purple and white panels. These secondary colours are overpainted to the base plastic and the white in particular looks dulled in places and has a few slightly off-line edges. Jen’s green skin tone is a good match to the CGI She-Hulk across her arms and legs with the outfit completed by her white trainers with black trim.
The head sculpt is a fantastic likeness to CGI Tatiana Maslanyi as She-Hulk with the same skin tone as the body overlaid with facial printing technology for the eyes and mouth. The hair piece is added on top as an individual piece and is a black base with very subtle green highlights. We do only get the one head, which is fairly standard for these Disney+ releases. But an angry She-Hulk head would have been a fantastic additional extra as this neutral look can look a bit flat in some poses.
Articulation is 18 points in total, all pinless, and providing She-Hulk with a full range of motion despite her size but obviously unencumbered by a complex outfit, skirts, cloaks or other paraphernalia. Posing is supported by the provision of two sets of hands allowing a choice between clenched fists or an open palmed position. The latter is perhaps a little too splayed and looks more like an expressionary gesture than maybe it was intended.
Overall She-Hulk is a definite highlight of the Disney+ figures to date, and within the Infinity Ultron wave which itself is a strong offering of great figures like Moon Knight, Kate Bishop and Sharon Carter. The figure is not only impressive in height and posture but with a fantastic likeness, a strong recreation of the costume and brilliant articulation. Her only downside at the time of this review is the lack of any supporting characters from her show with a definite need for Daredevil in his new suit, Wong, and Abomination who was perhaps a miss for the BAF for this wave.

About Me : As a child of the 70's and 80's I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force) and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licences - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
