Stupid CBSA cut the strapping on one of mine.
Anyways, I do agree SS needs to step up with the packaging. But, I do not care about artbox. Said before and will say it again  |

The Velcro straps is just icing on the cake. The top loading box SS does is annoying and difficult to slide out the Styrofoam. I've only had one XM piece and I'm already spoiled.

Since SS’s styrofoam has “handles” nowadays it’s gotten easier to pull the styrofoam out of the cardboard box.
But XM has the superior packaging through and through. I’m waiting on I think my 5th XM piece?
Packaging might not matter to some, you do toss it aside once the statue is assembled, but unboxing an XM is SOOOO much better than SS because it’s so much easier. No tape. No small compartments. Typically 2 trays and Velcro in a sturdier box. I’ve said before, unboxing an XM and then going back to unboxing a SS is a drag. And putting the parts back in an XM is so much easier. Psylocke’s base with all those foam pieces was a ***** to get back in. XM wouldn’t have done it like that.
Anyway, Hulk looks great. I don’t recall what that creature is called although I remember the issue it was in. I keep wanting to call it a spiderpus but the spiderpus was in X-Men Legacy not Hulk.
