Theme
Marvel Super Heroes
Year Released
2014 - Released during the peak of the Avengers Assemble animated series hype and the post-Avengers (2012) movie craze.
Rarity
Uncommon - This figure was exclusive to a single high-priced set (76018), making it harder to acquire than standard minifigures but common among Marvel collectors.
Head
Standard 'Big-Fig' head mold. Features an olive green face with an angry, baring-teeth expression. Unlike standard minifigures, the head is molded into the upper torso and is not detachable/rotatable.
Torso
Olive green muscular chest and arms. This is the 'Big-Fig' body type. It features detailed muscular definition printing with black lines for pectorals and abdominal muscles. Arms are articulated at the shoulder.
Legs
Molded purple trousers featuring tech-inspired printing including red highlights and pocket details. The legs are part of the 'Big-Fig' lower body mold and are static (no hip or knee movement).
Accessories
None included. Big-Figs are generally designed to hold standard bricks or tiles in their large hands but don't typically come with specific personal accessories.
Color Scheme
Olive Green skin tone (a departure from the bright lime green of earlier versions) with Dark Purple trousers and Black hair detailing.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the face, chest, and trousers. Notably, the tech-printing on the purple pants is very fine, featuring small red circuitry-like lines and pocket stitching.
Variants
Variants include the sh013 (Bright Green), sh377 (Thor: Ragnarok Armor), and sh413 (Red Hulk). This specific sh095 variant is defined by the Olive Green skin and purple tech-pants.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include chipping on the 'fingers' and scuffing on the top of the hair. The joint pins on the arms can become loose over time. Check for paint rubbing on the teeth.
Estimated Value
Used: $15.00 - $25.00 USD; New/Mint: $30.00 - $40.00 USD. Prices fluctuate based on the popularity of the latest MCU movies.
Price (New)
Originally released in set 76018 which retailed for $49.99 USD in 2014.
Compatible Sets

Character Background
Bruce Banner's alter ego, The Hulk. This design is based on the 'Avengers Assemble' animated series aesthetic, featuring the tech-pants often associated with S.H.I.E.L.D. or Stark Industry modifications.
Design Notes
This was the first Hulk Big-Fig to use the 'Olive Green' shade instead of the bright lime 'Bright Green,' providing a more muted, realistic look for the era.

Collectibility
High. Hulk Big-Figs are a staple for any Marvel LEGO collector. This specific variant is desired for its unique tech-patterned pants which were never reused.
History
LEGO transitioned from standard minifig-sized Hulks (like the rare 2012 polybag) to Big-Figs in 2012. This 2014 version represents the middle evolution of the mold and color palette.
Interesting Facts
The 'Olive Green' color was a direct response to fan feedback asking for a less neon-looking Hulk to match the tonality of the growing Marvel cinematic universe.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the core 2012-2014 Avengers team. Due to its size, it works well as a center-piece for a display stand or crashing through a LEGO wall.
Modification Potential
Arms are interchangeable with other Big-Figs. Customizers often swap the purple lower body with black or tan variants from other Hulk figures.
Overall Assessment
A solid, classic Big-Fig. The olive green tone is superior to the early bright green versions, and the leg printing offers more visual interest than plain purple pants. Rating: 8/10.
