The Hulk is depicted in a fit of rage gouging out sections of pavement and ready to hurl it at Spidey. The movement of this sculpt is perfect. I don’t think I have seen Spider-man sculpted better than this piece. The movement and grace of the character is captured balanced on the traffic lights ready to evade the oncoming missile. Spider-man is fixed to the lights, which in turn can be detached from the base of the diorama.
The Hulk displayed by himself. I know a lot of people have displayed him this way but they are missing out on the greatest ever-sculpted Spider-man by doing so.
Spider-man perfectly posed. It does not get any better than this.
The Paint: The paintwork on this piece is excellent. The green tones on the Hulk, the white of his shirt and the purple of his trousers are all masterfully finished. The mouth area of the Hulk is incredibly detailed and looks almost moist.
But it is the paintwork on the Spider-man, which excels with the webbing masterfully completed.
Display-ability: I’ve decided to include this as part of my review as displaying of sculpts is the single most important aspect in collecting. Unlike paintings, sculpture, which is 3-D, requires to be viewed 360 degrees. This is impossible of course unless you have an extremely large house or have invested in turntable displays, which would be perfect for this piece. This is the only criticism I have for the piece. How to best display it. If you want to see the Hulks face then you miss out on Spidey and vice-versa. Some people have suggested shelves backed with mirrors but I personally feel that if affordable the turntable option is the only way to go with this piece as there is just so much to see.
Conclusion: This is one of the finest sculpts to come onto the market in a long time. The Hulk is indeed incredible but for me it is Spider-man who steals the show. Incredible detailing and excellent paintwork. The only problem as I see it is how to display it. I will give this piece 8.5 out of 10. I have deducted marks for display-ability and for the use of hollow-casting technique on this piece, which has resulted in a number of breakages. This has nothing to do with the sculpting but the manufacturing of the piece. If you have not added this piece to your collection then do so and quick.
