Review: LEGO 5003084 – Minifigure Hulk Polybag (2015)

November 15, 2015 By Jay 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.

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.

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.

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.

Treat yo self 💫 January was a massive month, s Treat yo self 💫

January was a massive month, so I decided to finally take the MF plunge.
Today is "Chap Goh Meh" or the Lantern Festival, t Today is "Chap Goh Meh" or the Lantern Festival, the final day of Chinese New Year. 🏮

It's a bit of a strange one this year, with the pandemic throwing plans into disarray, and my family being further away than usual, so celebrations were a little different in 2021.

Thank you @LEGO for an excellent range of Chinese Traditional Festival sets. 🙏

@little.ong (and myself) really loved the Duplo Happy Childhood Moments set, and I especially enjoyed the new dumplings element! 🥟

Spring Lantern Festival is one of the best LEGO sets I've had the pleasure of building, and I also appreciated the foray into the mythological origins of Lunar New Year with Story of Nian. 🧨🧧🎆

More sets that celebrate the rich cultural diversity of the world, please! 🌏

For #Ninjago fans, it doesn’t get much better than this. 71747 The Keeper’s Village is packed with value and is a great centerpiece to Season 14 – The Island.

I have a soft spot for location, or structure-based Ninjago builds, so The Keeper’s Village strikes that itch in the best of ways.

The jungle lair sets the scene and provides a rich backdrop that works really well as a small playset and display piece.

Combined with a very generous helping of 5 minifigures, there’s a ton of value and playability built into the set, especially the stone pillar which works remarkably well as a “big enemy” for the Ninjas to deal with – it very much gives off a “mini-boss in a video game vibe”.

The highlights for me would be Chief Mammatus and Thunder Keeper’s designs. As a big fan of the Islanders theme, I love that #LEGO could callback to those designs in a fresh new way, utilising the tech and innovation that’s now possible through minifigure design.

Whether you’re an adult fan looking for a set that’s a bit more kiddy, outlandish and fun, or you’re planning to buy this for a young child who wants an engaging playset, I can highly recommend 71747 The Keeper’s Village.

Rating and score: 4/5 ★★★★✰
Thanks @lego for sending over the new #LEGONinjago Thanks @lego for sending over the new #LEGONinjago Season 14 sets ahead of their March release!

My first review of 71747 The Keeper's Village is already live on the blog! Speed build is live on YouTube as well!

Sharing photos from Japan because we miss travelling (and food!) but being in lockdown with you for 5 days isn't too shabby of an alternative.
