It is really bad in the back. Look on Youtube for the Queen Studios Green Scar Hulk video. Around the 15 second mark. Nasty seam (although maybe it is just the prototype and it will be fixed). Sure, it is in the back but even some of the side angles aren't flattering. Some of the preorder photos aren't showing this either which is a little deceptive IMO.

From straight on though, this looks like a great piece.

Thanks for posting the pics. Yes, when I saw that I was like "whoa!". To me, neck seams (when visible) completely ruin a statue. There have been some great pieces in the past that I didn't order because of a visible neck seam. I know these companies want to give options but come on?

That's disappointing. They should have made the hair removable for the switch out instead of the whole head.

They should have just done one portrait, the crowned one from the comic cover. I love the statue overall but that's one of the worst seams I've ever seen. But you can't see it head on so I wouldn't worry too much if I was buying it.

I can't see the seam at all in the latest pics on Queen's site. Have they completely re-engineered the seam after the video? They either must have moved the seam down to his puka necklaces or up higher at the back hairline.

Unless they shopped the photos, which would be totally deceiving. I need to know...since this seam is a make-or-break deal on PO'ing for me

I want to give Queen the benefit of the doubt but my Spidey senses tell me this is a photoshop job and the Youtube video is accurate. I want Queen to be successful (I really do) as I think some of the concepts and pieces they've shown are amazing (personal aside - I especially want their upcoming 1/4 Black Widow to be great). With that being said, you have to be honest with your customers and this is a bad look so far. They really need to address this.

^ Agreed. Hiding the seams in a photo is a big no-no.
