Toy Review: Fantastic Four She-Hulk Captures The Spirit Of Jen Walters

She-Hulk is simply one of the greats. Sure, she’s somewhat controversial thanks to her Disney+ show. But that doesn’t stop the character from being truly sensational, and that’s carried over to her toy form.

Jennifer Walters is one of Marvel’s most versatile characters. Yes, she’s a Hulk and has always been tied closely to that side of the Marvel Universe. But she’s the fifth member of the Fantastic Four. She’s a longtime Avenger. Her legal career has seen her represent Spider-Man and the X-Men, and sparring (and teaming up) with Daredevil in and out of the courtroom.

In short, she’s probably the second most well-connected hero in the Marvel Universe, and she’s just plain fun.

So of course her action figure is a lot of fun too.

Transparently, this is the exact She-Hulk body mold that we got in late 2024 in the Iron Man retro card line. Don’t mistake that to mean it’s the same figure outside of the cosmetics though. This figure is an improvement on that release in every way.

First of all, the Fantastic Four costume looks infinitely better than the fuschia leotard the first release wore. The base figures are basically identical side by side but the new figure just looks better. And the alternate head is just plain great, which I think is in part thanks to the ponytail hairstyle and in other part to the smirk. More female characters need to have a ponytail.

The accessories are the other big step up for the figure. The included alternate hands (including a thumbs up and a peace sign) give the figure much more personality. The alt head isn’t just great from a design perspective, but it adds to the versatility of the figure. If you want to pose her fighting, well, of course Jen Walters isn’t going to have her hair down (if she’s prepared for the fight). But if you want to have something more fun you have the thumbs up or the peace sign. The latter is even great for pairing with the gripping hand and dumbbells.

And as far as posing, this figure sings. She did need a hot water bath (I’m finding it’s a given for any figure with pinless knees and elbows). After that though, she was able to move in almost any way I was looking to move her. Look at the photos — she poses great.

There are two downsides to the figure though.

The first is in her size. She-Hulk is tall and muscular, built like an athlete. The figure captures that so well, but that means the figure is a little on the heavy side and the tall side. That translates into some trouble standing up in anything but a neutral pose, even with a stand.

The second issue: her wrists are just off. The angle of the peg on all her hands results in fists that are bent down slightly. That makes some poses look a bit off.

This is a stunning figure and I’m glad to have her as a part of my collection. It’s truly the She-Hulk we need.
