Swamp Thing Maquette

[SludgesicleMan]

The thing I don’t understand is how to they go from making an amazing product like Bane,to using pvc and cheaping out but hyping the piece up like it’s the greatest thing they’ve ever done. If you noticed they hardly even talked about Bane and that is on Lobo level.

I know you were being sarcastic. Your comment was perfect bud.

I had originally thought detail and paint would be key but based on the Predator bust reviews the material was making it look really cheap.

I too don't understand why the immense hype on this piece about the hand sculpture, etc. to then drop the vinyl bomb the night before.

The worst aspect of all is the inducement piece is not made with anywhere close to production materials. I want to see a production piece before I’d even consider this.

Would you spend 800$ on a plastic ST "statue"?

Can someone start a poll for this topic?
It's quite interesting to see what different collectors expectations or standards are for a statue.

Edit: poll started.

I’m not a big enough Swamp Thing fan to buy this, but as someone who knows nothing about these materials, maybe Josh, you could like tell us a pros/cons list? I think everyone just jumps on the “everything except poly stone is bad” wagon, meanwhile QC can arise from anywhere, regardless of the material. I’m sure I’m not the only person in this boat who just doesn’t know enough.
