The Hulkling figure from the Young Avengers line by ToyBiz in 2004 is a collectible 6-inch action figure that captures the character’s early comic appearance with his distinctive green skin, pointed ears, and shapeshifter-influenced musculature. Produced during ToyBiz’s era of highly articulated Marvel figures, it features multiple points of movement, allowing dynamic posing that reflects Hulkling’s hybrid Kree–Skrull heritage and super-strength. The sculpt emphasizes comic-accurate details such as his armored vest and warrior-style boots, making it a standout piece for fans of the Young Avengers roster. This release is appreciated today for its connection to the team’s debut era and ToyBiz’s signature detailed craftsmanship.
Hulkling, also known as Theodore “Teddy” Altman, is a prominent Marvel Comics hero introduced in Young Avengers #1 (2005), notable for his shapeshifting abilities and unique heritage as the son of a Kree hero (Captain Mar-Vell) and a Skrull princess (Anelle). Gifted with super strength, durability, flight, and the power to alter his appearance, Teddy initially joined the Young Avengers as a supportive, kind-hearted teammate before rising to greater prominence as “Dorrek VIII,” the united ruler of both the Kree and Skrull empires in later storylines. His long-standing relationship with teammate Wiccan is one of Marvel’s most celebrated LGBTQ+ pairings, adding emotional depth to his arc as both a cosmic leader and a grounded, empathetic hero.
