[FastballSpecial]

I'm down for a new lifesize bust series !

[adee]

That looks awesome

[Atimantium]

very promising

[Smooth Criminal]

Need that in 1/4 statue!

[GenoToys]

Looks good! I have Batman and Joker LSB...Want Deadpool..and HULK would be a must..Liking what i see.

[SashaMitchell]

Looks like the hulk is having a stroke and one side of his face is paralyzed.

[qz33]

Beautiful sculpt.

[Josh-a-tron]

Holy ----

[Atheris]

..........:peoples:

I'm listening...

Chris

[adee]

Looks like the hulk is having a stroke and one side of his face is paralyzed.

That thought did cross my mind as well :laugh:

[BurningRage]

Acrylic eyes and teeth would be nice.

[SONICobra]

Great looking sculpt, so much attitude

[SuperJ300]

This looks a beast!!

[SolidLiquidFox]

looks very impressive!

[BlackestNight]

Its just massive in size, appears to be truly lifesized.

[Jack's Username]

Yes, please. I've been hoping for a decent Hulk bust.

[BLACK OPS]

Looks good but the paint job will make it or break it and sideshows painting of life size busts in the past has been underwhelming.

[N3RDGASM]

I like it

[XMAN]

Beats the first 1:1 Hulk....

[Chiefs1313]

Looks like the hulk is having a stroke and one side of his face is paralyzed.

That's all I see when I see that pic. I would love a lsb of hulk, but that left side:confused:

Great video. Even mentions SF. I do like their honesty on it.

[FJC]

Jeez, put a portrait like that on a classic green PF already. I'm tired of all the Ape/Gorilla styled portraits SSC keeps giving us on their PFs.

[qz33]

Acrylic eyes and teeth would be nice.


Hey Igo what do you say about this ?

If PCS can I know SIdeshow can.

[koten]

Holy... that's absolutely intense looking!

[FastballSpecial]

Let's bring on Wolverine! Would love a new lifesize bust.

[Atimantium]

We have a winner for best comment today.

:iagree:

[VS1976]

Emma frost or WOnder woman please

[Mr. Nice Guy]

Very nice

[Empracollector]

Wow this looks awesome

[Demona]

Emma frost or WOnder woman please

You already got Emma. :) How about a Storm bust. She needs some love and would be striking in a collection.

Though, yes, I'd be down for a WW.

[BurningRage]

I want them to complete the original seven in bust form plus Darkseid.

[Josh-a-tron]

I want them to complete the original seven in bust form plus Darkseid.

Yeah, that's a worry I have with any Life Size offerings. I bought both Batman busts and the GL and I wanted a Flash because those are my three favorite JLA members but will they ever do any more?

If I get this Hulk are they going to do other Marvel busts so I have something to put with him? And I'm not talking about Deadpool.

[BurningRage]

Maybe they'll make a Gray and Red Hulk variant. I'd like a new Wolverine and Spider-Man bust. I think Thanos, Magneto and Dr. Doom would be good villain bust choices.

[Josh-a-tron]

Maybe they'll make a Gray and Red Hulk variant. I'd like a new Wolverine and Spider-Man bust. I think Thanos, Magneto and Dr. Doom would be good villain bust choices.

I'd take a new Spider-man, I liked the old one but a more modern sculpt would be nice. I need to find the old Daredevil Bust, that was perfect. Maybe a new Thor, that would be cool as well.

Definitely Dr. Doom, that would be amazing.

[MrJones]

I really liked that video

[ciscocisco1000]

I would love a Doom bust also. With a removable mask like the legendary scale that came out last year. That would be epic. And a red hulk please

[ciscocisco1000]

Definitely going to pre-order both Hulk and Deadpool day 1.

[Eky]

Definitely going to pre-order both Hulk and Deadpool day 1.

and put them face to face !!!!

why you gave me this idea WHYYYY ???

:vortex:

[ciscocisco1000]

I'm going to put Deadpool behind the Hulk like if he were making fun of his stroke face.

[haljordan99]

I want them to complete the original seven in bust form plus Darkseid.

I have the three they made so far, but I'm finally giving up on that dream and selling my Batman. The only other one I'd buy now is Sinestro to pair with my Green Lantern.

[ciscocisco1000]

According to SSAlex. Deadpool will be up for pre-order 1st very soon and Hulk is further out.

[Eky]

Great idea :thumbs2: many possibilities with those 2 bullying each other ^^

[PureInvasion]

Selling Bats? He was the best of the 3 JL members so far in terms of paint apps

[Josh-a-tron]

I have both the Bats and the GL and they all have pretty good paints. The Black bat is a little pale but hey, the guy spends his time in a cave, I won't begrudge him not having a tan. :laugh:

The only one I thought was questionable was the Eyes on Superman, thought they could have been done a bit better.

[SolidLiquidFox]

This Hulk bust has lots of potential.

I would say that Sideshow overall lacks focus when it comes to it's lifesize busts.

[haljordan99]

Selling Bats? He was the best of the 3 JL members so far in terms of paint apps

I think the Green Lantern is the best of the three I have in terms of paint apps. But Batman is also my least favorite character so that one can go.

[SONICobra]

But Batman is also my least favorite character so that one can go.

Typo? :thinking:

[haljordan99]

Ha ha. Nope I'm always questioned when I say that, but I've just never been a big Batman fan. I enjoy the movies, but the comics have just never done it for me.

[SolidLiquidFox]

blasphemy!

[PureInvasion]

Ban him!

[Comicbookguy]

Damn! Again SS portraits rule comic or real styles.

[SolidLiquidFox]

Given Deadpool bust's price...where do you see this one landing at?

$1400+?

[BlackestNight]

Given Deadpool bust's price...where do you see this one landing at?

$1400+?

It's hard to say as this is one giant solid piece, much bigger in size, but he doesn't have the "tack-ons" that Deadpool has plenty of.

[Atimantium]

$1,200.

[Comicbookguy]

Given Deadpool bust's price...where do you see this one landing at?

$1400+?

The sheer size and how complex it is this will be 1999.99 at the least. There will be a grey variant as well.

COMPLEX!!!! :DJsmile:

[Comicbookguy]

COMPLEX!!!! :DJsmile:

It's not complex at all, but I'm speaking for SS so that we don't get the shock and all when they tell us this for the 1999.99 price tag. :confused:

[SolidLiquidFox]

The mixed media on Deadpool offsets the size on Hulk.

We shall see...

[Colossal]

If it goes for the same price as Deadpool, I'll bite and this will be the first piece I've ordered from Sideshow in almost two years after a lot of QC issues (doesn't hurt I've got $500 sitting there in reward points to use) - but if it's much more than that I can't justify the purchase no matter how great it looks.

[Josh-a-tron]

It's not complex at all, but I'm speaking for SS so that we don't get the shock and all when they tell us this for the 1999.99 price tag. :confused:

...yes all the skin textures on that sculpt, not complex at all.

[SolidLiquidFox]

Paint job will make or break it. We all remember how good that Green Goblin bust looked when we first saw WIP pics...

[Deadpooly07]

If the paint is well done this is gonna be bad a**...

[Mr. Nice Guy]

I was so excited for that piece when I saw the WIP. Urgh.

[Comicbookguy]

With SS the paint job will be superb. Just look at the deadpool bust. No question the hulk will be close to double the deadpool bust due to popularity and size. I'm ok with double the price to keep me away from collecting bust.

[forps]

Last comment for a long tme (internet forums are clearly an addiction)....

I dont mind if Sideshow produces 3000 of these or if Sideshow chooses to produce a grey and a red variant.

But PLEASE put a damn ES on all of them! Produce 3000, but put a SET edition size....

I also want this new Hulk Life size bust to be close to ECC quality. Make it BIG (when i say big, i mean BIGGGGG) and produce it @ a good factory with acrylic teeth (maybe?)....

Sideshow, its time to up your game, its time to teach Prime1 and ECC some lessons....cause you are getting schooled by them at the moment...

Life size busts is the ballpark of the giants, is the arena of the elite companies....Time to up your game, Sideshow.

We want a SET ES (produce a grey and red variant, but no limited editions. SET es) and a big, ginormous bust.

The sculpt is magnificent (as i can see from the picture in this thread)...Its going to be a masterpiece to be remembered

(like the old school Joker LSB or the Lord of Darkness LSB.... Amazing busts! Whoever sees Joker LSB in flesh, just stands with his mouth open from the excitement. Especially with the Joker PFF next to it! Masterpieces!)

I am crossing my fingers!!! Dont let us down, Sideshow! The sculpt is magnificent from the tease picture....Dont let us down!!!

[tormentedbliss]

i will buy this for sure!!!!!!!!!! price or not, if its great, i want it, please make this paint a beautiful green, og hulk, wolvie hulk diorama colors....not comiquette

[tormentedbliss]

anymore photos????????????

[forps]

All the LSB-maniacs are preparing themselves for this BEAST. After the obliteration of XM by Sideshow (check Dark Phoenix vs XM Phoenix or Thanos on throne vs XM Thanos), time to SCHOOL ECC.

Is it possible to "school" the best company (ECC) nowadays? It is if Sideshow listens to forps and

1) Uses acrylic eyes and teeth. If possible (it is possible, cause this Hulk LSB can easily sell 1500 pieces), use transulent resin for the skin. It shouldnt cost over 1200doll considering that Sideshow will probably produce a grey and a red variant (so around 3000 es).

Use the best materials, cause the sculpt is ECC-quality. Use the right materials and lets heat up the competition with ECC.

2) For gods sake, give this bust or its variants a SET EDITION SIZE. 2000, 3000 or 4000, anything, but not limited edition. Limited edition = NOBODY will pre-order= Sideshow will think that Life size Busts dont sell = no more LSBs. However its the policy of Limited edition that destroys the market. ECC sold 500 Medusas @ 2200 in 2 weeks time, for gods sake! Place a SET EDITION SIZE and let the party begin.

Sideshow is really hot lately, Bring it, Sideshow. Unleash the BEAST...

[danteipp]

Just great, and here I was thinking the other day maybe I would sell the SS busts I have to free up some space and $$$. Every time I think I am out... Lol.

lol, SS isn't going to do any of these things. They should, but they won't cause they know people will buy regardless. It will prolly be much like the DP bust. SS is dead last for me on 1:1 busts in terms of bang for your buck.

[SolidLiquidFox]

to have that forps level of enthusiasm again...

[Tbolt]

SS is the MASTER they are upping their game BIG time and putting the overhyped TOY company on notice. They are MAKING masterpieces again, and just like Kobe Bryant, they WON'T take
NO for an answer. They need to make this BIG, Tom Hanks in that movie BIG. Except without the questionable SEX with a minor storyline, SS AVOID that with your GRAIL pieces. Also THAT poor mother probably WORRIED a lot while he was gone, that KID was kind of A DICK when you THINK about it. I played that ZOLTAR machine on PIER 39, but I still haven't won BIG in the LOTTERY. WHO do you WRITE to get your DOLLAR back? Also
They should use REAL SKIN, forget that translucent resin stuff. EACH buyer could OFFER there OWN for THEIR very OWN statue! EPIC! Forget MATCHING numbers, MATCHING scars!

Something like that, I think.

[Ryanbusts]

Oh dear

[prototypy]

Yes,time to use acrylic eye.Come on Sideshow.

[Josh-a-tron]

As long as the acrylic eyes are done well, I've seen painted eyes that put some of the mediocre acrylics to shame.

[Josh-a-tron]

Which busts?

Black heart Studios Count Orlock and Count Dracula. Both are full resin but the painted versions eyes were haunting.

[qz33]

Have to look on a bigger screen.

I guess as with everything heart & effort makes anything possible.

[Josh-a-tron]

Well and the factory would have to go over the eyes a few times and then finish it with a Supergloss clear coat to make them look wet. But it is possible.

[forps]

Sideshow... Acrylic eyes and translucent resin. LISTEN to forps...Its your chance to destroy ECC or better said, to give ECC a run for its money. If ECC can produce a Guyver LSB for 1000dol, then you, Sideshow, with an edition size of 1500 for green Hulk LSB and around 250 for red LSB plus another 250 for gray LSB variant, can easily price this beast @ 1200 and still make a profit. So...

Translucent resin and acrylic eyes are a MUST. This sculpt, this Hulk LSB screams MASTERPIECE...Dont let us down, Sideshow. Make it perfect !!! Use the best materials ! ECC, watch out. Sideshow is now coming for you...Oh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh....

(it will also have a huge effect on a competitor, ECC. Using translucent resin or acrylic eyes is going to reduce your profits, Sideshow, but the "side-advantages" of "cornering" a competitor would be bigger)

[Collectorcol]

SS know however cheap the materials it will still sell.

[SolidLiquidFox]

Sideshow, with an edition size of 1500 for green Hulk LSB and around 250 for red LSB plus another 250 for gray LSB variant, can easily price this beast @ 1200 and still make a profit.

:laugh: so cute...just adorable

Prediction: Edition Size TBD or open as "Limited" :penguin:

[forps]

:laugh: so cute...just adorable

Prediction: Edition Size TBD or open as "Limited" :penguin:

If Sideshow cant realize that making these masterpieces a Limited Edition (eg no ES) instead of giving them a set ES, is killing its sales, then they need to wake up. The sculpt of this new Hulk LSB is second to none. It is a masterpiece. If they dont follow my piece of advice, it is going to tank even though it has all the potential to be a future grail of grails like

Lord of Darkness LSB,
Joker LSB,
Patient Zero LSB etc.

It is a HUGE opportunity for Sideshow to come back in the game of BIG scales, to school ECC !!! ECC is lately making huge mistakes (the 1/2 Fireskull, the uninspiring pose of 1/3 Guyver or 1/3 Zoanoid Guyver or the 1/3 Jason). The sculpt of this Hulk LSB is magnificent, the potential is there! Dont ruin it, Igo! Give us a masterpiece..

(i will repeat what i wrote months ago

[HulkvsAll]

After looking at this bust for a while, I really like the artistic take but the ears on hulk are very tiny compared to the sculpters. I want just one life size bust that has true hulk proportions. Otherwise the detail is amazing. Can't wait!!

[tormentedbliss]

hope this come out soon

[Kovenor]

It's been cancelled.

i doubt they went through all that work just to cancel it.. ?

[prototypy]

Damn.

[tormentedbliss]

what?when? is it really cancelled ??

[Tbolt]

No, it's not canceled. Somebody was trying to be funny I think, and dropped that in here (since removed). Don't panic.

[BurningRage]

Hope it's at SDCC with Deadpool.

[Vracula]

No, it's not canceled. Somebody was trying to be funny I think, and dropped that in here (since removed). Don't panic.

Oh god ! Why would it be cancelled? This is a disaster!

whewwwwwwwwwwww, thank you

[forps]

This Hulk LSB is going to be a STATEMENT from Sideshow. To show who is STILL the boss. The battle between Prime1, ECC and Sideshow is going to be fierce. Chronicle is regressing, PCS is making changes to be able to compete, XM has lost nearly all its hype.

The battle, as i predicted in the "Is this Hobby dying" thread, is going to be between Sideshow and Prime1 for 80% of the market. If they continue to work together, then KO for their competitors. ECC is recently making some mistakes. Sideshow has the opportunity to wake up Steve (Wang) cause he is playing alone in the "big league", the league of Life size busts (the league of "deep pocket collectors" and for my taste, the only scale of true art, the right scale for an artist to show his/her craftmanship).

David (Igo), make this Hulk LSB perfect, use the best materials, set an edition size and let the party begin. The stakes are big, besides money. Its all about PRESTIGE

Sideshow has a MARVELLOUS sculpt at its hands (the pictures from the un-painted sculpt are jaw-dropping). Now the field is open to kick some ass, left, right, up and down. Day 1, second 1, millisecond 1 po for me. Give us this BEHEMOTH, Sideshow. I f....g love Life size busts!!!

[Atimantium]

Forps. Surely you have more to say. Continue.

[mjjj1987]

Hmmmm don't know.....think i will pass when i hear the price.....so i don't have to think about the fact if i like the design

[BurningRage]

It'll be at least $979 like Deadpool.

[forps]

A bit disappointing height-wise (24.5inches ONLY ? I wanted a beast, a monster over 35inches). Sometimes Sideshow seems to not get it. BIG, muscular characters EQUALS big, ENORMOUS sculpts or Life size busts. PERIOD. Its the reason why the Lycan LSB from Elite is already selling @ 4k. It is a monstrous sculpt with huge traps, deltoids, huge frame.

Sideshow should have produced a Hulk LSB @ 35inches in order to KO ECC. HUGE mistake to produce a rather PUNY Hulk LSB. Nevertheless, i will wait to see the materials being used for this before going apes...t about some decisions from Sideshow

[forps]

I love the sculpt on this but can't pay to have Hulk be the smallest bust in my collection.

EXACTLY. Sideshow, many collectors (here, facebook, social media) are ALREADY complaining about the height of this bust. If it is true that its only 24.5inch, it would become the EASIEST PASS EVER.....regardless of its material!!! It reminds me of Darkseid PFF, the same story again. Sideshow has a MARVELLOUS sculpt at her hands and completely destroys it by making it puny. Sideshow had a chance to KO ECC, but lost the plot and ironically gave ECC a new push by disappointing all the Life size bust maniacs!!! Steve Wang is already celebrating seeing this PUNY Hulk LSB!!!

NO WAY i am ordering a Hulk LSB being SMALLER than Lycan, Reaper or Medusa LSB from Elite or even Akuma LSB from PCS, the new Sub-zero (selling on your site also) or even smaller than yours Joker LSB, Sideshow !!! Shorter than Joker LSB !!! God !!!

For god's sake, take this back, add some chest area to give it height, make it bulkier, elevate the base, something for gods sake, to make it at LEAST 30inch (personal preference would be 35inches). The sculpt is marvellous, please confirm that this would be OVER 30 inches or else it would be the fail of the century!!!! A wasted sculpt again !!!

[Shaughn54]

I agree with everyones points here about the bust. I would love it if it was bigger. When I saw it pop up on sideshows website, I was like damn that thing is going to be HUGE! Coming here though and seeing the real size its a bit disappointing.

My thoughts are that it looks like they are making him hunched over like in the PF version, so that could be why he isnt as tall. Also I dont know what the size of the head is compared to other LSBs but if it is massive, I can see how that could help save this bust.

[Vracula]

Gave hulk that terrrible moe haircut again. Easy pass.

[Atheris]

Almost bit, after years of not buying SS products, this got my attention. But at an un-impressive 25", it's a swing and miss.

I want a HULK on display, not a tiny human sized Hulk head. They're literally repeating the past with their last underwhelming Hulk bust.

When it comes to Hulk products, bigger is always better, and it will always sell. Why pull your punches on a piece like this?

Chris

[prototypy]

Not as good as Andy Bergholtz's work on two PF.

Agreed....Why not let Andy sculpt this? It's meh..a step up for sure from their last one..I'll give them that lol

[ambasah]

from raised expectations when this was initially previewed to disappointment at the final product. oh well, money saved.

[Josh-a-tron]

People seem to think that height is automatically indicative of size. If you take the ears off the Batman life Size bust he's under 25" and that's without a craned neck like old green genes here.

https://scontent-mia1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/19388712_10154812758828562_2699400906359191356_o.jpg?oh=88be702b6becd76e4641b357831f072c&oe=59E5F043

If the Hulk was in the same position as said vigilante, he'd be larger.

Also for the amount of people who complain about these things not fitting in their cabinets and on their shelves you'd think the positioning would be good for most people.

But who am I to toss logic onto a forum, ha! Please, continue the moaning.

[Atheris]

I was hoping for something along this size at least. My custom Hulk bust is sitting about a foot behind me in this pic and is still bigger than Batman.

Chris

[Parallax]

It's not too small, but I don't know why they wouldn't include the chest. I guess it would have been too big? That's where you can really see Hulk's massive size, so it's disappointing they left it out. That and the fact that he looks like he's having a stroke.

[BurningRage]

It'll probably be at one of the Sideshow live events so you'll get a good look.

[craigcliff1]

Yes this looks massive

[SSAlex]

So just a slight correction. This Hulk Bust is 26 inches tall and has an incorrect size listed in the video that was posted (that video will be updated this week with the correct size and posted again in the future). This piece is pretty darn big though...at least that was my thoughts/impression when I saw it over a month ago and then again last night. Hopefully those going to SDCC will get the same impression when they see it in person next month. We'll also have this piece featured on an upcoming livestream, so that will give people a good gauge of size with a person next to it.

I know this news won't be great for those looking for an even BIGGER Hulk but I know this piece will make some fans happy. :-)

[HeromanPunch]

Is there a reason why the bottom portion of the bust is very thin compare to the top?

[forps]

So just a slight correction. This Hulk Bust is 26 inches tall and has an incorrect size listed in the video that was posted (that video will be updated this week with the correct size and posted again in the future). This piece is pretty darn big though...at least that was my thoughts/impression when I saw it over a month ago and then again last night.

Dear Alex, i get your points. But the MAJORITY of collectors here and all over social media, want a BIGGER and especially TALLER Hulk LSB. Plus as i wrote in my first post, WHY is his chest area slimmed down? It looks uneven with the base and the upper part.

You have time to make some tweaks, give it 1 month for changes, increase the chest area, make the base a bit taller and make him EVEN and TALLER. From the first picture, forps got what the collectors were going to say. Now they are freaking out all over social media and you can also watch it in this forum where ALL the users complained about its height. Please make 1-2 tweaks, its a pity. The art direction for COTD is excellent, the art direction for LSBs is atrocious. NOONE, i repeat NOONE wants a Hulk LSB being smaller or better said, SHORTER than Joker LSB !!!

Give it some inches height-wise and increase the chest area, it looks weird. Sideshow TOTALLY lost the plot with this. A new excellent sculpt is again wasted.

Steve Wang is scheduling a party right now !!! Ironically this bust could be the end of ECC's hype, once and for all and in the end became a new push for ECC! ECC's busts are all massive making them unique! Even Jerry from PCS got it right. His new Sub-zero LSB is enormous. This Hulk LSB is going to look like a child next to the new Sub-zero from Jerry towering over 30inches next to this puny Hulk @ 26inches ! Sub-zero is a fly next to Hulk, nevertheless his bust is going to kick Hulk's ass, left and right making him look like a dwarf. Sub-zero 30inch (with his tall base, i get it) and Hulk 26 inches !!! Or look at ECC's masterpieces, Lycan, Marcus, Reaper, Medusa. They are all HUGE...

[ratchet]

I'm not feeling the expression. I'll wait to make my judgement till I fully see the piece...

[Jack's Username]

I'm mostly liking what I see so far, but yeah, I get it - what this thing really needed was some Hulk tits. Then it would assuredly have been a masterpiece.

[BlackestNight]

The "Head only" bust is very obviously purposely designed to keep the height low. I would think there must be a certain price range they are trying to hit and too big adds up fast! IE: Materials, production time (assemblage and paint) packing materials and than I would bet shipping size from china to here is a big factor.

It's still a F'N massive hulk head. Congrats to anyone buying!

[forps]

Guys, its pretty simple. We are not talking about Flash LSB or Gambit LSB. We are talking about Hulk LSB, the MONSTER, the BEAST, the behemoth. His LSB should be a BEHEMOTH also. The Joker LSB from Sideshow is going to tower over Hulk LSB and we are still discussing the obvious? There are some things, Sideshow seems not to get, with the obvious being that with Prime1 and ECC producing beasts (1/3 scale and 1/1 LSBs respectively), you cant give a Hulk LSB being massively undersized. The mechanics of the bust could be found. I bet that Jerry has his new Sub-zero bust engineered to be 2 separate pieces.

What is Sideshow thinking? The same mistake with Darkseid PFF or Killer Croc which were a ES disaster for Sideshow. Massive characters with potential ES rather high, got PUNY statues bringing the sales down. Superman's LSB or Joker's LSB are going to tower this Hulk LSB and we are still talking ? Are we serious ?

No way Sideshow can catch up with ECC now. Steve, although making mistakes with his 1/3 line (his maquettes have no pose) or his 1/2 Fire skull, his LSBs are excellent and massive as they should be. A Hulk LSB from Steve would probably be 35 inches. I am not asking for 35 inches but for 30inches. With so much variety today, collectors wont give money for a sub-par (in their eyes) Hulk LSB.

As qz33 wrote above and other users also (Atheris) ,he isnt going to give money to have a Hulk LSB SHORTER than his other life size busts.

If Sideshow produced a Flash LSB or a Gambit LSB, ok, make it small and short. With Hulk, the beast, the monster, NO F....K WAY...It should have been at least 30 inches height-wise!!! Elevate the base a bit more, give him some chest area, 1-2 tweaks and it would be perfect.... I am here to help Sideshow, you know. I thought that this Hulk LSB was going to end ECC's rule over the LSB market, but it seems that Sideshow lost the plot again.

Very nice stuff. Great sculpt. I'll wait for the pricing and to see how the paint looks on the end product, but I'll likely be in on this one.

What's your problem? I was the one defending you and qz33 in a PCS's thread, where 1 of the 2 guys from UK where mocking you talking about having something from Jerry in your mouth?

What is your problem with me? Everything i said in the past, turned out to be 100% accurate from the success of Thanos on throne or that his EX es was too small, from Lady Maria, from Mr Freeze, from the es for Killer Croc or Deathstroke PFF to the end of the "hype-period" of XM. Why are you still having a problem with me? I am not cursing or saying anything to anyone. Other users call me an "idiot", a "moron" etc but i am not responding to anyone. Leave me alone and press the ignore button. I was a fool to defend you when the UK guys were calling you names.

Ah, and dont fall to the needs of XM pushers who massively want to delete my account here cause i expose some things the average collector is unaware of. Some really shady things.

Yes, thats what is, the XM pushers. Not the constant stream of bolded posts that say you are the authority on statues. Maybe you should trying posting like you just did, instead of coming off as the Zeus of Statue collecting Olympus and myself and others wouldn't take issue.

And by the way, if I need defending I'll call.

[SolidLiquidFox]

I think the artistic liberty to do only half the face growling may not have been the best. He does look more like he is having a stroke more than he is angry and about to rip your head off. That Andy B. ape upper gap between the nose and the top lip is what's causing it.

The size would have to be seen in person at SDCC. It's not just height but overall mass/width of the sculpt when it comes to busts.

This new Hulk bust is a hell of a lot better than their previous version.

It's starting to grow on me the more I see it, this would display great with the Thing bust, it's a shame we won't be getting a revisit of that as well, one of Sideshow best LSB.

[BurningRage]

They don't really match with the pedestal bases and name plates. This can go with the Deadpool bust and any new Marvel comic versions they're doing.

[forps]

I f...g LOVE Sideshow. In this hobby (statues of pop culture)- cause i have other collecting hobbies too-, Sideshow was and remains the best mainly cause it has the best artists. The COTD line and its art direction are second to none. However, i am not blind. I am not a Sideshow, Prime1, ECC hyper or pusher. I am 100% objective! 100%. We are all here to help Sideshow and other companies (Prime1, ECC and Jerry from PCS mainly) and express our views. The average Life size bust collector is also a unique one. They have seen a lot of LSBs and they need SIZE in order to be excited. Look @ Medusa from ECC. It sold nearly 500 pieces in 2 weeks time being a mythological creature!!! 500 pieces @ 2000 each in merely 2 weeks !!! It is a big and powerful representation of a character.

I am not going to repeat what many collectors say about this all over social media, i will keep it just to the 2 forums. They completely agree with what I said. Some members are saying that Sideshow should use acrylic eyes and teeth (lets wait and see for these) and then ALL of them are complaining about its size. Its HULK, for gods sake. Its not a puny Flash !!! A Flash LSB could be small. A Hulk LSB NEVER… NEVER.. NEVER. It is shorter than the Joker LSB or even the upcoming Deadpool LSB !!! Deadpool LSB has only 1 disadvantage. The lack of set ES. However this Hulk has one major. Its height (not its mass, its height). A 2nd minor is the small chest area, but the height is the NUMBER ONE factor causing disappointment.


One member
Sideshow needs to up their game and use acrylic teeth and eyes. They can't launch a new life size line, charge a premium, deliver **** and get away with it anymore with the competition out there.

Another member
I look at what Jerry at PCS is doing with life size busts and then this...there is really no comparison.


Another desperate guy praying for this to be tall

So what is the bottom part of that base? 12 inches? Total 36 inches maybe?



Statueforum members

Qz33
I love the sculpt on this but can't pay to have Hulk be the smallest bust in my collection.


Shaughn54
I agree with everyones points here about the bust. I would love it if it was bigger. When I saw it pop up on sideshows website, I was like damn that thing is going to be HUGE! Coming here though and seeing the real size its a bit disappointing.


Atheris
Almost bit, after years of not buying SS products, this got my attention. But at an un-impressive 25", it's a swing and miss.

I want a HULK on display, not a tiny human sized Hulk head. They're literally repeating the past with their last underwhelming Hulk bust.

When it comes to Hulk products, bigger is always better, and it will always sell.

After the strong debate concerning the size of the turtles (a total disappointment for many collectors), after the huge miss with the 1/5 PUNY and toy-like line of Artgerm "statues" and after OVER 200 comments i saw all over social media saying this Hulk LSB should be bigger, Sideshow should leave its "pride" aside and dont ruin this MASTERPIECE. The sculpt is perfect, the expression is something different, it reminds me of the Joker LSB or Green Goblin LSB or the masterpiece Lord of Darkness LSB which sold @ 5.5k today!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lord-of-Darkness-Life-Size-Bust-1-1-Sideshow-Legend-Statue-legendary-scale-pcs/263058509533

5.5k !!! Life size busts are where the "deep pocket collectors" play their game. Lord of Darkness, Robocop, Lycan (4k-5k), Greedo, Gamorrean Guard, Predalien LSB are all skyrocketing !!! 4k-5k or 6k!!

The sculpt of this Hulk LSB is unique, the expression is perfect. The only thing that needs to be altered is its PUNY SIZE. Sideshow, sit down and think wisely. Is it ever possible your NEW Deadpool LSB to tower over Hulk ? Or the old Joker ? Its HULK, for gods sake!!! Hulk, Juggernaut, Darkseid should be BEHEMOTHS. PERIOD. Dont ruin this unique opportunity to give us a masterpiece. As you can see, Life Size Busts are the playground of the GIANTS, LSBs where the best of the best compete. Add 3-4 inches to this sculpt and your sales will be 2x or 3x more. Elevate the base a bit, add some chest area, make it a little bigger! Collectors want SIZE to justify their purchases nowadays with the prices skyrocketing. The sculpt of the new Hulk LSB is marvellous, unique and artsy.

I LOVE IT. It needs 3-4 inch more, simple as that! I am optimistic that Sideshow is eventually going to listen to us (collectors). One tweak and its PERFECT!

:smokin:

Its a pity, cause the market for LSBs is skyrocketing. I havent seen a LSB trading BELOW its retail price bar the old and atrocious Hulk or some funny LSBs. Lord of Darkness, Neytiri, Robocop, Greedo, Gamorrean guard, Admiral Ackbar, Ventress, Joker, Red Skull, Venom 1, Carnage or from ECC, Lycan, Reaper or from PCS, Akuma etc are all way ABOVE their retail price. Some of them 3x, 4x or even 7x-8x their retail price.

Life size busts and life size figures are for unique collectors who dont give a f..k about price, they simply want something artsy and of course BIG. This Hulk should never be so small, so short! The expression is perfect, different and unique. In order something to be artsy, it should firstly be different and of course not bland. This Hulk has a marvellous sculpt, but we cant afford to RUIN the sculpt for 3-4 inches.

BurningRage as a fellow LSB collector, you get my points. Nevertheless, we are going to buy this (i have virtually all of Sideshow's, ECC's and PCS LSBs), but 99% of the LSBs collectors are going to easilyyyyyy PASS

[forps]

This Hulk LSB needs

1) 3-4inches height-wise + more chest area
2) A set ES/TBD ES
3) Acrylic eyes + teeth
4) Translucent resin

The expression is magnificent, i love it! No problem with the face or the sculpt. If Sideshow follows the above 4 recommendations, then ECC would be KO'ed the same way XM was KO'ed and deprived of its hype with one move, Thanos on Throne. Additionally, its a matter of PRESTIGE for Sideshow to produce a state-of-the-art HULK LSB. Or else the rather picky and elitists (we, the LSB collectors) are going to be hugely disappointed and ECC will be officially crowned as the undisputed leader. Nevertheless, as i mentioned, Sideshow produced masterpieces in the past (LoD, Joker, Gamorrean, Greedo, Red Skull, Green Goblin, Venom 1, Patient Zero LSBs) and can easily compete with ECC sculpt-wise. Andy Bergholtz for an example is a MASTER sculptor of LSBs, probably the best along with Steve Wang.

Sideshow cant afford to give a SUB-PAR Hulk LSB. Apart from making money, its all about prestige, reputation, Ford vs Ferrari, competition in the UPPER-class of collectibles.

Thanks, majestic1. Are the teeth + eyes acrylic? If yes and if Sideshow makes this as a TBD ES or even better a pre-set ES, then 1 thing more and it is a MASTERPIECE. 3-4 inches height-wise. Dont get fooled, its the perception. For an example Deadpool is taller and he would easily dwarf this Hulk LSB. Perception ? 1) Susan is back, Hulk is in front of the video and 2) a mans frame is bigger than a womans. So Hulk seems way larger than he really is.

The sculpt is second to none, i loved it from the first pic i saw. The sculpt is Sideshow kicking ass, left and right. If it were 30inch, it would be the ULTIMATE GRAIL, easily a bust priced @ 4k in 3-4 years time. The expression is perfect, the sculpt is unique, the character is popular, the texture, veins etc are perfect. Being rather small (26inch vs beasts from ECC or even Deadpool or Joker LSB), its a pity.

Nevertheless, as an owner of virtually all of Sideshow's, ECC's, PCS's LSBs and a dedicated fun of life size sculpts, i cant afford to pass. So an easy po for me or BurningRage (a fan of LSBs also), but an easy pass for many collectors.

Interesting. I may watch it later on. I only saw the picture majestic1 posted. Probably Sideshow will make some changes (add some height by elevating the base etc). The face is PERFECT, it needs to stay as it is. A masterpiece.

1-2 changes are needed though, as many guys already mentioned

[majestic1]

I think that's just from the bright lights they have on the stream, looks similar to when you take a photo of a piece with the flash on, it always highlights the shading.

Lets be optimistic and hope that Sideshow listens to virtually ALL the guys here (or all over social media) wanting 1-2 minor changes to this in order to seal the case as a new GRAIL OF GRAILS in the "deep pocket collectors" playground, the Life Size Bust market. Nevertheless, i want to congratulate the sculptor of this magnificent LSB. The sculpt is PERFECT, some guys who dont know a sh.t about art were hoping for a roaring expression, but it would be too mainstream. Whereas this facial expression is PERFECT, i love it. Different, unique, artsy.

Bravo, Sideshow. I am objective as always. I-and 90% of the LSBs collectors- want a TALLER bust for Hulk, but sculpt-wise i admire the art behind the sculpt. Bravo, Sideshow!

How often has Sideshow changed something based on comments?

Only thing I know of is Supergirl and that was so as to not offend the military with her salute.

There is hope, my friend qz33 and fellow LSB maniac. Dont get disappointed. For an example, from the picture above, there is a strong possibility that Sideshow is going to use acrylic eyes and teeth for this beast, AT LAST listening to us and following ECC or PCS in this area. 3-4 inches higher and with some addition to the chest area (or else it would look like a chess piece with the added 3-4 inches) and it is PERFECT. The texture, the sculpt, the expression, the new materials. There is hope!!!

Sideshow cant afford to produce a sub-par Hulk LSB. It is a centrepiece, it appeals to the upper-class of collectors and so we all HOPE. They are reading the comments (facebook, instagram, forums) and we can hope that in the end, Sideshow will sit down, put Deadpool and Joker LSBs next to this new Hulk LSB and then logic will prevail. "Hulk should TOWER over these 2 LSBs ! Lets add some inches to this masterpiece"

He looked huge on the livestream, great looking Hulk bust.

I've been waiting for a decent Hulk bust for quite some time. I dig.

[tormentedbliss]

im loving is this....sure could have been better, but most can. This is the best hulk bust to date, i like the growl as well, great change from the past choices

That is a very intense sculpt. Who is the sculptor on this?

I don't know, but I do know the portrait was inspired after a very angry Mickey Goldmill.

I'm with you, the side mouth growl is very comic book. I like it, the question is, can I afford it? :laugh:

[SONICobra]

the talent and effort are definitely there, its just such a stylized take at 1:1 scale its definitely not going to be for everyone

If I can afford it I'll buy it, it'd be my first Marvel life size bust, so then I guess I'd have to see if they are going to do other's I'd want...though I still want to snag the sold out Daredevil, that thing was amazing.

[SONICobra]

yeah i think the daredevil bust is my favorite theyve done so far. i had considered picking it up with batman and wolverine to have my top 3 favorites but dont know where i would display them

I am not saying it's you, but I always find it funny how some have this mental block when it comes to lifesize busts. They will buy/display 20 PFs but a lifesize bust is like this gigantic thing that will take half a room.

:goodpost:

Life size busts FTW, guys !! There is nothingthat can compete with a Life size Bust (apart from a life size figure of course). Life size busts are the best medium to showcase your skill, it is the only medium for an artist to achieve greatness. Buy a LSB and your collecting tastes will change, especially one of the GRAILS, LoD, Joker, Patient Zero, Lycan, Reaper, Medusa, Gammorean Guard etc.

As concerns Hulk LSB, i am glad that many collectors are expressing their love for this sculpt. As i said from second 1, the sculpt is KILLER, its beautiful and unique. Sideshow NAILED it. Its a masterpiece. PERIOD. PERIOD. PERIOD. 1-2 changes and it will become a grail of grails for us, LSBs maniacs.

[supermetroid]

I guess for me it's because I want the complete character. Like Hulk without the massive arms, muscles, Thanos without the armour, gloves/gauntlet, and Spider-man not showing his abilities etc. However I did get the XM 1/4 Venom bust and I love it! It really captures the alien nature of his suit better than any other statue of him as well.

[omigeo]

That is an impressive bust of Hulk. I love it but I certainly cannot buy it since its way to big and of course price :(

He is beautiful, heheheh, and I love that face!!

[Josh-a-tron]

I need to get shelves with glass doors on them, that's my next step, That way I can put Life size Busts on the Top Shelves and PF's on the next two shelves down. Figure if you can get shelves about 72wx90hx18d with 3 shelves your good and can fit just about anything in them. Though the 72w is probably the most diffcult thing to find outside of customs.

[forps]

Limited edition, no acrylic eyes and teeth and no additional height!!! Sideshow completely shot its feet with this !!! I am pretty amazed by the choices being made. It could have been the ultimate Hulk LSB and now it is going to be a good but not a must-have Hulk LSB. The same applies to the new Darth Vader LSF. It simply needed a lightsaber, but again Sideshow killed the sculpt with an odd choice of not having a lightsaber. I believe that Sideshow is behaving as a newbie when producing big scales.

The puny height and the lack of ES are totally unacceptable. Before Iron Man 7 and Deadpool, i believe that only Darth Vader LSB 1st edition was without a set ES. All of its LSB releases had a SET ES. Nowadays, Sideshow is going to produce all of its LSBs without a set ES. EASIEST PASSES EVER. No ES and puny heights = PASS. I bet that the sales are going to be disappointing. Sideshow is too stubborn to "listen" to its collector base. Its a pity!

Steve Wang, lets organize a party tonight!!! You are still the king of LSBs. Big and monstrous (as they should be), translucent resin and you are still ruling the upper-market of collectibles. Bring some booze, Steve. Sideshow totally missed the plot with this Hulk LSB. What a wasted sculpt !!!

[forps]

Oh and Iron Patriot LSB was a Limited Edition but it was a new release also. I have almost all LSBs Sideshow ever released and i dont remember having LSBs without an ES till recently...Its unacceptable for 2 reasons

1) Collectors hate "Limited editions". Make 2000 or 3000 or 40000 of them, but NUMBER them, for gods sake. CAP the edition size. Its totally unacceptable and i dont want to give Sideshow an incentive to continue producing "Limited editions". This joke of recent years with "Limited editions" must end.

2) The lack of ES diminishes the perception of "collectible", it becomes a commodity. I know that ultimately they are commodities for Sideshow, but the collector gets pissed off by this practice. I and the majority of LSB collectors, HATE having something without an ES. It is the major reason why , for an example, the LSF from Sideshow is lacking in sales.

I will decide when this gets up for po what i am going to do, but i dont want this practice of "Limited editions" to carry over. Time to speak with our wallets....I hope that Sideshow at LEAST, rethinks the "Limited edition" and turns it into a TBD piece. For additional height and acrylic eyes+teeth, there is zero chance.

[Vracula]

Omg dude doesn't anyone else talk to u outside this forum. Lol.


In 10 years being on this forum never thought we needed a charachter limit till now.

I don't know, but I do know the portrait was inspired after a very angry Mickey Goldmill.

Lol, now I can't 'unsee' that.

The sculpt is not good at all

Look above how ones eyes squint when u make that expression with your mouth.

Hulk is not doing that, the mouth is completely detached from the rest of the face.

Horrible.

[Old Snake]

Sideshow wants to keep its warehouses warm, I guess. They've made decent Hulk busts in the past, life size and 1:2, so I don't know why they thought this was a good idea.

And yes, the open editions is way past silly at this point. Besides the Dark Phoenix and TMNT, I only check Sideshow's website for browsing Prime1.

its not the size its that i would want to display them on their own, seperated from full figure statues - thats where my dilemma arises. i have a little bit of an ocd issue when it comes to blending scales and such

Pre-order is up
Price: $980 Edition Size: Limited Edition

Looks like no Set ES, for the ES hunters.

[candyrocket786]

Looks like more base than actual bust.

Sort of reminds of the Bana Hulk. A lot of unused space. I'm on the fence right now.

[VS1976]

I don't like the shape of the bust. Open Es too which would be a hard sell for many collectors out there

Yeah, it's a bit overbearing to me. Odd artistic choice. Unfortunate really as I like the piece, but no way I'm paying for a repaint.

I guess the good news is that my bust collection is under low light, so maybe I can let it slide. Sad, but I really want a Hulk bust. Will probably wait and see now.

[Oak]

Only thing I dislike is it uses the same base as the Deadpool bust. I wished they made a unique base.

I dig it actually. Really should of had more of the chest in there though.

But with this open edition fluff again, you'll be able to pick these up on the secondary with people giving them away.

For those who want this, there is literally no urgency to order.

Damn, no wonder ol' girl didn't wanna turn it around in the vid. It looks like it would go better mounted on a wall or something. Like he's popping through it...you know, like those Hulk fists and Iron Man head you find at Target to put on your wall with the cracks and breaks and everything? Kinda looks like that.

Lot of brown in there too.

[Demona]

Wall mount busts should be something the company should look into. Lord knows between all these companies we are losing shelf space :)

Way too much brown. I really wanted this but passing for now. I'll wait for in hand pics. See if they can at least do the eye decals correctly. It's a great head sculpt though.

No interest in wall mounted busts.

[qz33]

Me neither. Past a couple space would really run out fast with those.
The pose on a vertical plane works primarily for large guys like the Hulk.

If it were taller and they had fleshed out the chest and shoulders I'd be ordering even at open ES.

The back of the bust does not equal the base.

[Demona]

:laugh: Nice K-9

But seriously, while I know it's not a human-ish comic character, the Jurassic Park wall mounts are really well done. There has to be a way to work a wall mount into more of these statues. Batman and Spider-Man could be easy options at least. Just trying to think outside the box for kicks.

[BurningRage]

That wall mounted PCS Batman didn't do well.

[BlackestNight]

I agree with "Brown" it makes contrast in the piece, rather than a giant Solid green head. The brown also brings life, as there is blood under the skin.

I also think the size was definitely dictated by the price, much larger than Deadpool and still under a grand, seems they do not want to break that price point for the newer LSBs.

:buttrock:

Atheris is right as well as qz33 stating "Lovely pose, lovely expression". We, the Life Size Bust maniacs, are like veterans, we dont get easily impressed having seen hundreds of LSBs in our collecting years. The expression is PERFECT. UNIQUE. DIFFERENT. ARTSY.

Some guys cant get what ART is. I know 2-3 guys who even told me once that Laoocon and his Sons (@ the Vatican) or David (Michelangelo's) are ugly or their face sculpts need some work !!! The beauty of Art is that everyone has his opinion about what is beautiful and what is ugly. Nevertheless, Art for me is producing something different, something with flaws but at the same time something magnificent. The sculpt is KILLER. By far the best LSB representing Hulk ive ever seen, licensed or custom. 99% of Hulk busts are the same roaring expression. This is so different, so unique, so artsy. I f....g love it.

The problem lies mainly with its height (not its girth, he is wide enough, its puny height is the problem). Sideshow should simply recognize that in today's market with this competition, noone will go and simply buy a product from her cause there is no alternative. So producing a PUNY Darkseid or a puny Killer Croc (i know, i know he is hunched over, nevertheless he is SO dam.. short as a statue) or a PUNY Juggernaut (for gods sake, dont even think producing a Juggie UNDER 28inch), is simply causing the average collector to pass. "Nah, i will wait for a bigger and better representation. I am not buying a puny Darkseid for 600d, i will wait for something better in the future". Some characters like Thanos, Juggernaut, Hulk should always be MONSTERS, BEHEMOTHS. Or else the average collector is going to pass, especially with po prices being ridiculous nowadays.

This LSB needed 3-4 inches height-wise and acrylic eyes+teeth+translucent resin and then we could call the GRAIL OF GRAILS. The sculpt is killer but Sideshow made one mistake after another. If ECC can give a Guyver LSB with LED eyes and perfect materials for 1000d, Sideshow producing 2000 or 3000 pieces for this Hulk and 2 possible variants (Red LSB and Grey LSB variants), could easily use the best materials.

Lastly, an open edition in todays market is a JOKE and pisses collectors for the reasons i explained earlier. Time to speak with our wallets. For the 1st time, im not going to po a LSB and i will buy it later on. Im not going to give Sideshow the extra sales to justify this ridiculous practice of making "Limited Editions". This joke should end NOW. So, i will buy it later on.

(his weight is also puny....20lbs only ? i noted that Susan was moving him with 1 hand,toooo easily...)

[AlizAbef]

That wall mounted PCS Batman didn't do well.

Lets be honest, dude...that Batman piece looked lame as hell. This Hulk bust, however, could look really awesome on a wall.
