They released the AoU Hulk as a standard figure and that would be bigger than a classic Hulk. Beyond him not needing the BAF approach, classic Hulk is an essential character for most collectors so keeping him out of reach for many would be insulting. I know I bitch a lot about the BAF gimmick but seriously if Hasbro locked Hulk behind five or six other figures then what's to stop them from doing the same to a classic Thor or any other character who happens to be larger than Captain America?

I wouldn't put it past them because they've been doing it for years. Remember the tiny BAF figures like Rocket Raccoon, Hit Monkey. Most X-Men fans will never be able to add Jubilee to their collection unless they re-release or go bootleg. Hell, they did it with Mantis, JUST so they could sell us a THIRD Star-Lord figure with Ego. They did it with Apocalypse (again!) Hulk would be no different.
