Hey, so I haven't seen this question actually answered yet, but I was just wondering if the signature series Hulk Hogan has a removable bandanna? Going by the images on RSC, it looks like it is judging by the gap between the bandanna and the side of his head, but I'm just surprised that we haven't seen him without it yet. I'm fairly certain its a separate piece, but I'm hoping it's not glued on, or that the head isn't fully sculpted underneath. I know it's kind of a weird thing to be wondering, but I always hated when jakks had the bandanna be part of the head sculpt. Whenever he wrestled, his bandanna always gets knocked off of him 5 minutes into the match, so I always prefer the option. However, I kinda remember hearing that hulk is sort of insecure about being bald and requests that he either has more hair (2k15) or his head is covered all together. Anyway, thanks for your time. I'm hoping these will be in stock soon, so I guess we'll find out shortly either way  |

It is part of the sculpt just like elite 34. Any street gear hogan will more than likely have the bandanna as part of the sculpt.

I could see elite 34 not being removable, but the Sig series one really looks like it could be. Do you have it already??

It DOES look like it's removable. But since we don't have pictures without it, I supposed it's either glued on or part of the mold.

I see what you guys are saying the front looks like it could be removable. But if you look at pictures of the back you can tell its molded on and connected to the hair.

I remember when Warrior said Hogan didn't want any modern figures released of him without hair so all his bandanas had to be attached on. I still subscribe to this theory.

What is wrong with Hogan? He's the Babe Ruth of wrestling who runs from his own shadow and has a ton of masks on at all times.
'No dude, they never really saw me bald on those tapes, it was all passing glances, they were never really sure, but if you put it in figure form, brother, it'll erase all doubt that yes your hero is bald, and I can't handle that, man.'
It's like he never figured out he could stop the conman nonsense because we all really loved him. Flap of extensions, WTF. There is no Hulk the elder statesman of wrestling like there should be as Warrior basically said, so grow up or go home, Terry. lol You can tell on the Hogan DM, that extra hair was sculpted on later, it looks like a blonde yamaka. He definitely saw the figure and demanded that, there's no doubt in my mind, it looks ridiculous. Love the figure, I just laughed when I saw Hogan's insecurity sculpted on to the figure.
'More hair on this one, and glue the bandana down on that one, thats what I always wanted in my matches anyway, now I can make it happen.' OK!
BTW I never disliked Hogan when I was young, he was just behind Savage and Warrior to me.

He wasn't totally bald up there at WM3, no, but the hair on top on the DM is sculpted like a second piece, looks odd to me.

I could be totally wrong, but I'm thinking that maybe they'll use the back of the hair for a late 80s, early 90s version and then just have a new head sculpt with less hair. I'm probably also wrong about the Sig series having a removable bandanna, but I don't see how it could be a separate piece in the front, and then attached to the hair in the back. Trying to keep hope alive lol |

I think it is just a seperate piece shot in red and glued to the head like the bandannas on Los Matadores. I think a picture of him without the bandanna would have surfaced by now were it removable.

Has the bandana ever came off since he's been back?

Has the bandana ever came off since he's been back? In all fairness, no, I don't think so. But I like the option, ya know? Who's to say it won't tonight on Raw? I know my whole thread is kinda silly to begin with, but like I said...I hate when they're part of the sculpt. If you're playing with a hogan figure and he gets slammed or whatever, it's kinda lame to stay on...it's just not realistic. Sure this is a modern Hogan after all, but wouldn't it be frustrating if they make a python power hogan with a fixed on bandanna? It never stayed on past his entrance, and maybe a few seconds into the match. If savage can get a removable bandanna, then hogan should too. |

Of course, that was one of the funniest things to come out of Lust Hogan's mouth since: I read it in the papers, I saw it on tv. I guess there'll be one empty seat, When I wrestle at Wembley.I used to tear my shirt, But now you've torn my heart. I knew you were a Hulkamaniac, Right from the very start. You were my friend. I'll see you again. When the Hulkster comes to Heaven, We'll tag up again. The world just lost another Hulkamaniac. It's all about Lust Hogan even when some poor sick kid dies. I don't believe this GO-rilla. |

I guess I'm just trying to be proactive for any and all future Hogans. If we express that we want removable bandannas then maybe mattel will listen to us.
imagine how disappointing an nwo hogan, or 2002 still rules hogan would be if the bandanna doesn't come off.
Most wishlists I've seen people make on here with hulk all include a bandanna as an accessory, so I don't think I'm the only one
