HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Dec. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Auction Powerhouse "Profiles In History" to auction off a life size recreation of Lou Ferrigno wearing his original costume in his iconic role as "The Incredible Hulk" by artist Rubber Larry. Upcoming auction will feature Artist Rubber Larry's latest masterpiece and takes place on December 18, 2020.

An astonishing life size recreation of Lou Ferrigno wearing his original costume in his iconic role as The Incredible Hulk from the beloved 1970s tv series is set to smash the record previously set last year by a statue of Stan Lee by artist and sculptor Rubber Larry at auction powerhouse Profiles in History. This Friday the 18th of December, it's Hulk's turn.

Auction Powerhouse “Profiles In History” to auction off a life size recreation of Lou Ferrigno wearing his original costume in his iconic role as “The Incredible Hulk” by artist Rubber Larry. Upcoming auction will feature Artist Rubber Larry’s latest masterpiece and takes place on December 18, 2020.

The shredded shirt and pants worn by Lou Ferrigno as the Hulk comes to life via a shockingly musclebound, bigger-than-life figure also by Rubber Larry.

Hulk follows closely on the heels of Marvel figurehead Stan Lee, previously realized big as life as he appeared in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The amazing figure, clothed in Lee's screen worn Smithsonian Institute security guard wardrobe, sold at Profiles last summer for a jaw-dropping $30,000.

And in this corner, we have lot #226 Lou Ferrigno's (The Hulk) post-transformation, torn zoo employee shirt and short brown polyester pants. Will Hulk smash Stan Lee's record?

The costume takes center stage in the first season episode 'The Beast Within', where Bruce Banner (Bill Bixby) takes a job at a zoo and is introduced to a female scientist conducting research that may help gain a better understanding of his mean green condition. When Banner's attempts at anger management fail, Ferrigno's Hulk bursts forth, shredding the costume and the scenery.

Months in the making, this hulking, custom fiberglass figure features a flesh-like, makeup-matched green silicone bust originating from Ferrigno's life cast. Original makeup prosthetics, including nose and forehead pieces, were then incorporated into the raw sculpture. Actual crepe hair from the original production was hand punched for the eyebrows, and the screen accurate wig and yellow prosthetic eyes add the final startling touches of Hulkitude.

About Artist and Sculptor Rubber Larry

Hollywood's hired gun for disguise stunt masks and hyper realistic figures, L.A. based FX sculptor and performance artist Rubber Larry is constantly pushing the envelope whether it's bringing an historic piece of wardrobe to life, or punking the public with his incredible ultra-realistic imposter celebrity masks like Keanu Reeves and Norman Reedus.

Producing art since he could crawl, Rubber Larry spent 8 years honing his talents on Hollywood studio lots until going rogue to freelance in the late 90's still providing his skills to the industry and top Hollywood talent. He made headlines back in 2006 when he was hired to create the Barack Obama mask that Senator Obama wore himself as he made his entrance on the infamous Saturday Night Live Halloween episode.

Since then, Larry has virtually perfected what he calls "The Ultimate Clone" employing a proprietary technique to produce uncanny silicone busts and disguise stunt masks. "If it's for a gallery display or museum figure, I want the viewer to think it's the actual person standing there. If it's crashing an event with a stunt mask, I want the bouncer to wave me through."
