there is thick cast, and then there is eggshell.... Sagat was thick cast and semi hollow, he was still heavy and he was perfect. I prefer at least thick cast statues or solid if possible. Sorry to say... there is nothing worse than getting a statue and you can just feel & hear how thin and hollow it is taking it out of the box.
I know it doesn't matter when displayed but I just feel ripped off when i get an eggshell statue and it worries the crap outta me when I eventually wanna sell it to get a new piece due to shipping.

My concern with hollow is, repairs.
Lots of times I find the drill-and-pin method very sturdy. Obviously hollow would not allow for this.

I've never had an issue with a PCS statue feeling cheap. Every one I have received has been 100% quality feeling.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Agreed about the feeling ripped off and part of the reason I sold the Sideshow Avengers Hulk maquette, a featherweight. Good to hear about PCS though, the only pieces I have from them are Sagat and the new Ryu and those two are solid pieces quality feel and on the heavy side, especially Sagat. Have been wondering about 1/3 Akuma though everytime I see photos of him.

i will pissed if the statue 30 to 40 percent hollow, Sagat and Goro 1/4 really great weight i would say.
All the 1/3 should be at least 80 percent solid or otherwise im not gonna pleased with this.

Yeah, especially since you like to flip these POs for over 300% retail. I still remember when you tried to sell me a PO for scorpion at $1800, and you mentioned this was your best price.
