I'd rather not require help putting my statues on the shelf.

I don’t understand the hollow debate regarding larger pieces. You guys geek out over the size of these statues and then cry when they don’t weigh 150lbs of pure stone.
but if they were solid they would cry over the outrageous shipping costs, let em pass on a bad ass statue because they dont think it weighs enough the couple times they have to pick it up

thin hollow casts - YES, thats an issue - but huge ass statues like this being solid? lulz...

I have my Rhino displayed and regardless of weight, it looks great.

Thanos is heavy, don't kid yourself. It maybe hollow in parts but there are plenty of solid pieces in that.

Some consider weight a quality piece, which we know is not true.

Completely agree man. The statue doesn't have to be solid, just properly cast.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Found it!
Maybe the EX is a pants-less version.

There certainly is a design flaw on Thanos’ leg. When you flip the statue over, his butt goes flat right after his hamstring meets the edge of his throne. That makes sense since Thanos needs to sit flush on the chair, but you’d have to make sure the unnatural change from the hamstring to the butt was filled in properly. Instead, it’s a thin, recurring breaking point for a lot of the pieces.

Having said that, I think he and the Throne are pushing 50 pounds. If SS had cast the inside of that leg a little thicker, he’d be perfect. Still plenty of great units out there with no interior rattle or defects. I was lucky to get one.

Waiting for a JUGGERNAUT since I start collecting. I‘m so excited Marko get‘s finally the treatment he deserves. A huge intimidating demoliting ball on two feet. He have to wreck my Besta.

I just don't want it thin like Apocalypse.
Like most things in life I'm sure the balance is hard to achieve.

This is why I rarely buy Sideshow any longer. The cost for a 1/4 scale large character made from the same amount of material a 1/6 statue would be made of is too much. It reminds me of how blu ray movie costs the same amount a digital copy does. The actual material and factory costs disappear with digital copies yet the price does not change.
