Me HULK.
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/legoaymaar/H-U-L-K/thehulk-2.0.jpg
Me angry at military who want to kill HULK. HULK big and not afraid.  HULK's
2nd and 3rd toes equal, so not only is HULK smart but STRONG. ;] HULK likes
orange.  Boys and girls, HULK is also cool because me is easy for you to
bring to life.

-----------------
Hallo-

The HULK was inspired by DaveE's Rock Golems and the sheer mass of the
Incredible character.  I thought about creating a Golem like Dave's but then
I realized that the HULK was feasible.  I never read comics but I have seen
the movie trailers and some artwork.  I spent an hour or so creating version
1 Wednesday afternoon.  I was informed this (Thurs) afternoon while showing
a preview that HULK was naked. [HULK]HULK no like being nakey.[/HULK]  I
really like the eyes of the small frog in the Wild Collection set except I
realize that even though his bulge, those would not do.  I also went back to
the first design of the shoulder blades (seen in 1.0; 1.1 added a 1x3 plate
so as to eliminate the horizontal "hole").  I rebuilt him late Thurs night,
early Friday.[1]

My rendition of The HULK is made soley from the parts of a single Wild
Collection (http://guide.lugnet.com/set/4101).  (Therefore, for $30 you can
have your very own! ;-)  I designed the HULK with respect to the anatomy of
a minifig.  Arms and legs move in the same manner, except HULK has movable
feet and instead of rotating hands, movable elbows.

(Will take better pics with natural light.)

Enjoy!  PLMKWYT.

[1]Andrew realizes that he should have just waited til the morning because
messing with the pics and uploading them has allowed 5:00 to appear soon.

Andrew,

   For someone only having seen th preview images and some artwork of the
Hulk and limiting yourself to only a select set of parts, you did a very
nice job in capturing the essence of the Hulk.  I would be curious to see
what you could do after seeing the movie and expanding the piece selection
(Perhaps a She-hulk is in order :)

Keep Building,
  Jim F.

Jim,

Thank you very much.  I am really happy with the result given the
parameters.  I wanted to be able to create him from one set if possible so
that he could be easily "purchased"; I'm extremely glad that you think his
essence is present.
I already have some ideas for "set" setups just from some of the newer parts
this summer.  Hmmm....She-hulk...iNteresting...I know I can go searching for
images, etc (which I'll probably have to do) but are you familiar with her
proportions in relation to those of Hulk?
