Ah, the dark side of marketing toys for your superhero movie is that in order to promote the products to time with release of a movie, images of those products are revealed. Kind of a side-channel thing, I suppose you could call it.
Anyway, Superherohype has snagged an image of promotional material for toys related to the upcoming reboot of the The Incredible Hulk movie. We’ve seen images of the Hulk before, but this time there’s also a look at the super-powered villain of the film: The Abomination.
If you’re so inclined, you can see the image after the jump.

Now I’m not a reader of The Hulk comic book, so although I know what the Abomination is supposed to look like, this version is quite different. Fans of the comic book version may be annoyed at the new look - but frankly, he looks pretty… abominable.
So what do you think?
The Incredible Hulk opens on June 13, 2008.

i like this version but still prefer the original look, it looks more abominable.

For some strange reason, he reminds me of something out of the first and/or second Resident Evil video game.

This better be an eraly sketch.
I miss the ears.
Looks weird.
^
Some kind of exo-skeleton.
I dunno, personally I prefer the more traditional comic book look.
AHH, the ears ruin it, if he had the ears it would be fine, but that just looks weird with that round, too human looking head.
It looks like The Thing on steroids.
Looks like Swamp Thing with an exoskeleton.
I think this is either an early sketch. I would say it could be fan art that fooled someone into thinking it was legit, but no fan would take away the ears. Why!? Why would the ears be removed? It’s like a trademark, like the Hulk’s green skin (no red Hulk comments). Every rendition of Abomination in the comics that I can think of had the ears. It doesn’t make sense to redesign him that much.
Are those teeth under his ribs? Did Sam Raimi design this? Reeks of Army of Darkness or Doom3…
Looks like a roided-up version of “Decompose” from the “Inhumanoids” cartoon series, with that prominent rib cage and all..
Not bad, but could be alot better. Hope this is an early design.
Could be worse. Could’ve been Nick Nolte! (Gah!)
I don’t see why they just didn’t go with his comic style look,he looked much more original and even iconic,IMO,in the comix.
Too bad tho…..
Maybe I’ll like it better once I see some footage of it.
Reminds me of the sketches I saw in Wizard mag a few weeks ago for the “new” Abomination in the Red Hulk story arc.
I think it sucks, the original abomonation design was awsome, but you know Hollywood these days, trying to improve on a look that was alreadey nailed down. Raimi kept to the original designs of the villians in the spiderman movies (except for the Green Goblin but you knew who it was)I hope they don’t go in this direction, if they’re going with old school Hulk, they should go with the old school abomonation
Yea Rob I think you speak for us all here at Screenrant.
Unfortunitly when a comic hero goes into production as a film the producers allmost allways CHANGE the original concept.
Hollywood is full of creativity but sometimes its hard to see it thru all the ego and bs.
Looks nothing like Obamanation.
Hey KEL,,,,,,
It looks like abomniation a little but that thing looks tight man I am not the best artist but my parents actully like and I think that it looks like abomnitation and an old guys face no afence like an alien man that is combined with abomnitation………… that picture thing is tight and all but you just have to like more artistic…………… plus my friend Jovanny is like th ebest artist in the world and he can draw better then that…
that art thing tocks cause you now hollywood trying to improve all the looks and all amn and i bet ya that you are excited but I put that pictur of your drawing and put it as the president bushes famous lap top desktop and it only took me five min with email you get paid $500 baby on monday……………. na just playing it rocks dood
