I know just how blasphemous that sounds, but I grew up reading HULK well after Kirby. All the Kirby HULK portraits in particular is what made me pass on all of sideshow's PFs. I don't like the ape like features on the face of Kirby's HULK. Not to mention, the OG PF isn't a classic Kirby HULK. Sideshow put a classic Kirby portrait on a modern HULK body. Kirby's HULK was never massively muscular. That evolution of the character came later and over time. Let's hope this PF is a 70s or later version of the character. That's the version I was personally waiting for. Thankfully, the XM Transformation HULK quenched my need for a 1/4 modern day HULK. Hopefully, this new PF will do the same for all of you that are still waiting on one

Congratulating is a perfectly acceptable behavior here at SF, and nobody should expect to be derided for it.

Of course you should be free and able to congratulate people on this board. I just find the behavior weird. I usually congratulate someone when they worked hard at something and earned something (i.e. you got a promotion at work, or you obtained a diploma, etc.), or they got extremely lucky (you won the lottery, etc.). When my wife comes home with a new purse she saw in the store, my default isn't to congratulate her. If my buddy has a deposit on a new Tesla, I don't congratulate him on it. But in statue culture, when a Hulk announcement pops up and someone is like 'yeah i been waiting for a new PF', even though we have no clue what the statue looks like, we congratulate them because a pre order matches their desire for one? Just odd.

To make matters worse, there was never a need for one. Why have a removable portrait that creates a seam, when an alternative portrait isn't even offered? Makes no damn sense.

No neck seam on this PF will require a killer portrait pretty much everyone will love because that'll mean no switch out portraits. Here's hoping sideshow nails it.

Dude, the XM Section is lower down.

The only issue I had with the previous PF was the COH wasnt executed that well, but still love the piece. Kind of hard to believe it has taken this long to come back to the Hulk though.

I hear ya. I didn't like that Hulk PF either. Didn't like the hunchback look ...and it wasn't the Hulk I grew up reading about either.
