Review: LEGO 5003084 – Minifigure Hulk Polybag (2015)

November 15, 2015 By Jay Ong 4 Comments

One of the many downsides of being a LEGO fan in Australia is that we’re almost always forgotten when it comes to promotional polybags. Sure, LEGO.com will occasionally offer up free polybags but it’s still nowhere near what the Americans, Europeans and other Earthlings get.

The recent Toys ‘R’ Us exclusive, the Mini Hulk polybag is the latest one that will probably never show up Down Under. Super Heroes is one of my core themes that I collect so once again, I had to call in a favour from a family member in Malaysia to help me get my hands on 5003084 The Hulk, which was available via a short promotion at TRU stores.

Here’s a quick review to cap off the week!

LEGO 5003084 The Hulk Polybag 2015 - Packaging

5003084 The Hulk is a promotional polybag that sits within this year’s Age of Ultron theme, featuring a minifigure-scale version of everyone’s favourite big, green, angry superhero.

This is the second minifigure-sized Hulk after 2012’s polybag – with this one updated to look like the new Hulk bigfig from this year’s Hulk Buster Smash and Hydra Fortress Smash set which has an earthier green skin tone and snazzier looking pants.

LEGO 5003084 The Hulk Polybag 2015 - Contents

Here are the contents of the polybag – a bunch of parts, a tiny instruction manual and a sticker sheet.

LEGO 5003084 The Hulk Polybag 2015 - Sticker Sheet

The sticker sheet is pretty fascinating, with a ton of stickers with Hydra, Shield, Avengers, Stark Industries and even battle-damage details. The stickers are a little thicker than usual and are really useful if you plan on creating Avengers or SHIELD-themed MOCs.

LEGO 5003084 The Hulk Polybag 2015 - Hulk Minifigure

Here is the Hulk minifigure. Being minifigure-sized is a fantastic novelty and charm – the tiny Hulk looks incredibly cute. There’s nothing to complain about the printing, everything is sharp and vivid as it should be. His pants have the same design as the Hulk bigfig, which is a nice bit of continuity.

Really nice to see that his leg printing extends to the side.

The Hulk’s back printing has some muscle definition – nothing too our of the ordinary but a nice inclusion anyway. He also has an alternate face which has an even angrier expression than his usual one.

How does the Hulk compare to his bigfig version? Actually, quite well! Aside from their hairstyles, I am very impressed that they share so many similarities. If you look closely, you’ll notice that they have the exact same facial expression which I think is insanely cool.

The polybag also comes with a little buggy for the Hulk to ride on. He looks so silly (and quite angry) riding his little toy buggy.

The buggy’s play feature is that it can be snapped apart by the Hulk. It’s simple but it fits the Hulk’s personality and anger management issues.

LEGO 5003084 The Hulk Polybag 2015 - Comparison with old Mini Hulk

Lastly, here’s how the new Hulk minifigure compares against the 2012 version. I love them both equally!

Overall, I really like the new 2015 Hulk minifigure purely because of the playfulness and Chibi-vibe that it exudes. It’s extremely disappointing that it may never show up in Australia because I consider it an essential component of the Age of Ultron sets this year and an excellent addition to the collection of LEGO Super Heroes fans.

The minifigure is well designed and by far my favourite feature is the shared facial expression with his bigfig which is a subtle but cute little touch. This one is going up on display permanently amongst my other minifigures on my shelf.

Want to get one? Bricklink or eBay would be your best bets for now – although there’s always the off chance that we might eventually get it through proper channels.

Were you lucky enough to live in a country that ran the 2015 Hulk polybag promo and managed to get one? What do you think about it? Let me know in the comments!

Have a great week ahead!

    Actually, where I am in Canada, I don’t see too many new polybags. Sure, they’ll pop up here and there, but not too many.

      Oh yeah and you mentioned that you’re not near a Toys R Us as well right? They seem to get a lot of polybags and exclusives.

        A: Holy, you’re alive!
        B: Not in this one, sadly. Remember where I found the rocket raccoon one, a convention at a hotel on the other side of the city where I live in Newfoundland. *inhale* Yeah.

Did you know that Fiona, the @lego Friends florist Did you know that Fiona, the @lego Friends florist is one of the first minidolls depicted with Down Syndrome?

Fiona works at the flower stall on Unity Street from 41732 Friends Downtown Flower and Design Stores 

She is described as being 'good at crafts and decorating, and knows all the flower species by name.' 

It's World Down Syndrome Day today and I think it's remarkable and very important for LEGO to enhance the perspectives of children on neurodiversity, physical disabilities, ethnicity and mental health, as they've done with the LEGO Friends reboot.

Here's my review of one of the most anticipate @LE Here's my review of one of the most anticipate @LEGO Disney sets - 43217 'Up' House ahead of its release on 1 April 2023!

This set is a dream come true for many Pixar fans, and we finally get a cute, compact and great looking Up House. 

It has plenty of references to the movie, and Carl's everlasting love of Ellie, his late-wife which will absolutely delight fans. 

Despite a strong lineup of minifigures (including an awesome Dug mould), the set's incredibly expensive pricetag (US$59.99/AU$89.99) doesn't feel like good value, especially with Kevin nowhere to be found.

Indy, Sallah, and Marion break into the Well of Souls to retrieve the Ark of the Covenant in LEGO form, and this playset is packed with dynamic play features!

Priced at only US$39.99, this set is incredible value and a great way to get started with LEGO Indiana Jones!

Here's a look at 40587 Easter Basket, an incredibl Here's a look at 40587 Easter Basket, an incredibly affordable and attainable GWP that's available from 16 March!

It will be a GWP when you spend US$70 / €70 / £65 from 16 March - 9 April.

Lots of things to like here, as the design is cute, and the build is surprisingly technical, and it blends both Botanical and Animal construction.

Also like that the redemption period stretches into April, so if you have the Indiana Jones, Disney 100, or Guardians of the Galaxy sets on your radar, it should be an easy one to qualify for!

Such a breath of fresh air to get such a substantial GWP without having to spend hundreds of dollars. More like this please, LEGO!
