#259 - Ulysses Klaue\/Hulk<\/h3>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

Ulysses Klaue is an arms dealer in possession of a large amount of Vibranium, a metal with unique properties that is only found in the African nation of Wakanda.<\/i><\/p>\n

Klaue (Klaw) was not part of the original Avengers 2: Ghosts of Georgia<\/i> script - the action would have taken place in Wakanda, but without any Black Panther<\/i> characters, which seems kind of pointless. So eventually they moved it to Mauritania and decided to use Klaw (Klaue) as the tie-in. He's played by flesh-and-blood Andy Serkis<\/a>, which was a choice inspired by a fan-cast that came up while Joss was looking for images of the character! Awesome! The likeness on the Minimate is very good, and the paint is intricate: he has camo pants, wrinkles on his shirt, and highly detailed tattoos - including a giant scorpion on his right arm and hand. He's armed with a pistol and a large knife, and although both fit into his belt, the gun is very loose in there.<\/p>\n

His body infused with gamma radiation, Bruce Banner has learned to harness his transformations into the powerful brute known as The Hulk.<\/i><\/p>\n

I'm actually skipping a lot of the 22 Avenge Street<\/i> Minimates, because they're so similar to things we've already got. I have enough Thors<\/a> and Iron Men<\/a>, you know? But my previous movie Hulk was messed up<\/a>, so I was glad to get a new one. He's greener than Rampaging Hulk<\/a>, but is still wearing his stretchy-pants. All the same add-on pieces, really. And like Mark Ruffalo, Hulk has a hairy chest.<\/p>\n

I didn't really care much about Vision or the Hydra agents, so I was really glad to see that the other two sets from Series 63 were available at Toys Я Us. I mean, did you ever in your life expect to get a toy of pre-Klaw<\/a> Klaw?<\/p>\n
