I think you have problems . I’m not talking about manual . I don’t care about manual .
Why do you avoid the obvious here? Why didn’t XM tell us months ago this was two pieces . Why?
Stop defending them. I bought this two years ago and today for the first time we find out it’s two pieces. That’s all I’m saying . It’s a little shady, some people don’t care that’s cool, but for 2000 US I care .

Just to be a devil's advocate, does any statue company really tell us how the statue is separated (except for extra head sculpts, arms, etc. on deluxe versions)? I'm just glad there is no head seam. I'm guessing the waist seam will be hidden well.

It’s deceptive . I own many XMs all were pretty much one piece . This guy was a special purchase for me because of the high cost . I know he had no neck seams but those pictures didn’t really show me it was split in half at the waist .
XM did this with Hulkbuster I understand why. Hulk def should have been one piece. Venom is gigantic and solid . Aside from it posing shipping issues that’s what they should have told us .
Most hulks I’ve seen out there have one solid body except for that new IS monster which made sense because it looked more 1/3 scale.

Just out of curiosity Shubby, why does it matter to you? I'm not sure I understand the concern. Is it because you wanted to know up front or because you think it compromises the statue somehow?

I purchased this so everyone knows I’m not trolling here. Most of my 1/4 scales are XM . I don’t understand after all this waiting they could not have said hey it’s two pieces . We have been great customers and patient . Very patient .
I prefer my statues one piece and it may have influenced me not to buy this . That’s why I’m a little flustered . I’m sure it will look great but having the hulk in two pieces cheapens this to be big time . I own some other really big pieces from XM and all figures except Hulk Buster were solid one piece designs ( torso portion )
Recently they did this with Spiderman thats because he has few display options . It doesn’t apply here . It was to save XM money in shipping or packing this easier . It’s my opinion I would have much rather one solid hulk

Understood and you are totally within your rights to be upset about it. I'm not sure I agree that it cheapening the piece. Personally it wouldn't bother me to much. I'm more concerned about how it looks on display but I get why you'd feel that way.
That's the problem with XM, a lot of times you are putting down money on blind faith. In any case I think this is a great piece and looking forward to seeing it in everyone's collection.

I know it will look great no doubt . I hope Grumpy Bear and XM read this and understand that fans and paying customers should know details on these things. I don’t expect it on first showing but no reason why they couldn’t have said anything .
It’s courtesy for spending huge money and I’ll def watch my POs moving forward with XM.

I was sure it will be 2 parts (means a better packaging overall) and it's ok for such a big piece. Remember the breakage on SS ToT ?
