Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

I'd get that left torso on the stand. Too bad they aren't offering just the busts/torsos.

I really hate that yellow, I can't understand why they chose that other than it's from the Hulk Transformation base.

It's nice and all, but if I cared about buying this statue at all I'd be pretty annoyed that it wouldn't be possible for me to get the 3 head sculpts without spending who knows how much more (at least $1,000 I'm assuming?) on all 3 torsos. Just seems like a waste to make 3 different torsos when the only real difference between the 3 is a clenched fist. It should just be 1 torso with 1 clenched fist, 1 open, and the ability to switch out the heads.

I don't care how much you dislike a neck seam, the extra cost you're paying here to get it will in no justifiable way be "worth" it.

If you're perfectly satisfied with one portrait, it's not an issue.

I think this looks great, but the base is so out of place. I honestly prefer the bust bases and I typically hate nameplates.

I would say the options given here are essentially forcing many people to be "satisfied" with 1 instead of 3.

Sure, any price point excludes a portion of the potential buying pool. For some, a Sideshow PF is way out of their price range.

If your point is that you wish they'd gone with neck seams, a single torso, and a lower price, I get that. But that would exclude the portion of the potential buying pool that hates neck seams.

Either choice offends some customers.

A piece of this caliber in my opinion should not have a neck seam.

of this size, yeah.

A normal 1/4 seam can range from hidden to horrendous but there's no hiding at this size. Plus they get a nice premium from the guys willing to pay the price of 3 torsos just to get all 3 heads.
