- Thing (Marvel,
2010)
- The Crossovers Thing was to have been a retool of the second Hulk mold with a new head, transforming from an orange and blue robot into a bulldozer. This toy was presented by Hasbro during San Diego Comic-Con 2009, but failed to materialize at retail.
- It's feasible that the Thing was the intended character for this mold rather than the Hulk; the robot mode of the Hulk is riddled with crack details which are a physical feature of the Thing. Additionally, molded details on the figure's waist that seem to be for a Fantastic Four logo are left flat and empty on Hulk.
- The head is just a straight reuse of the first Hulk mold which was likely as a cost-cutting measure due to changing the mold from Thing to Hulk late in the design process. As Hulk is a more popular character than the Thing, Hasbro probably figured another version of Hulk would sell better than one of the Thing.
