Black heart Studios Count Orlock and Count Dracula. Both are full resin but the painted versions eyes were haunting.

Well and the factory would have to go over the eyes a few times and then finish it with a Supergloss clear coat to make them look wet. But it is possible.

Sideshow... Acrylic eyes and translucent resin. LISTEN to forps...Its your chance to destroy ECC or better said, to give ECC a run for its money. If ECC can produce a Guyver LSB for 1000dol, then you, Sideshow, with an edition size of 1500 for green Hulk LSB and around 250 for red LSB plus another 250 for gray LSB variant, can easily price this beast @ 1200 and still make a profit. So...

Translucent resin and acrylic eyes are a MUST. This sculpt, this Hulk LSB screams MASTERPIECE...Dont let us down, Sideshow. Make it perfect !!! Use the best materials ! ECC, watch out. Sideshow is now coming for you...Oh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh....

(it will also have a huge effect on a competitor, ECC. Using translucent resin or acrylic eyes is going to reduce your profits, Sideshow, but the "side-advantages" of "cornering" a competitor would be bigger)

If Sideshow cant realize that making these masterpieces a Limited Edition (eg no ES) instead of giving them a set ES, is killing its sales, then they need to wake up. The sculpt of this new Hulk LSB is second to none. It is a masterpiece. If they dont follow my piece of advice, it is going to tank even though it has all the potential to be a future grail of grails like

Lord of Darkness LSB,
Joker LSB,
Patient Zero LSB etc.

It is a HUGE opportunity for Sideshow to come back in the game of BIG scales, to school ECC !!! ECC is lately making huge mistakes (the 1/2 Fireskull, the uninspiring pose of 1/3 Guyver or 1/3 Zoanoid Guyver or the 1/3 Jason). The sculpt of this Hulk LSB is magnificent, the potential is there! Dont ruin it, Igo! Give us a masterpiece..

(i will repeat what i wrote months ago

All the LSB-maniacs are preparing themselves for this BEAST. After the obliteration of XM by Sideshow (check Dark Phoenix vs XM Phoenix or Thanos on throne vs XM Thanos), time to SCHOOL ECC. Is it possible to "school" the best company (ECC) nowadays? It is if Sideshow listens to forps and

1) Uses acrylic eyes and teeth. If possible (it is possible, cause this Hulk LSB can easily sell 1500 pieces), use transulent resin for the skin. It shouldnt cost over 1200doll considering that Sideshow will probably produce a grey and a red variant (so around 3000 es).

Use the best materials, cause the sculpt is ECC-quality. Use the right materials and lets heat up the competition with ECC.

2) For gods sake, give this bust or its variants a SET EDITION SIZE. 2000, 3000 or 4000, anything, but not limited edition. Limited edition = NOBODY will pre-order= Sideshow will think that Life size Busts dont sell = no more LSBs. However its the policy of Limited edition that destroys the market. ECC sold 500 Medusas @ 2200 in 2 weeks time, for gods sake! Place a SET EDITION SIZE and let the party begin.

After looking at this bust for a while, I really like the artistic take but the ears on hulk are very tiny compared to the sculpters. I want just one life size bust that has true hulk proportions. Otherwise the detail is amazing. Can't wait!!
