I saw the Hulk and Wolvie Dio next to the Age of Ultron Hulk last weekend. The Maquette is the same heightish, but head and shoulders above the top of the Hulks head. It will be bigger then this one for sure, BUT all that being said this is going to be massive. It will match well with small PFs , but not larger ones

I have all on order from the Avengers 1/5 line except Hulk as of now. Thinking of getting HvsW because of the value but might look too out of place next to Avengers...

My Captain America Exclusive wait list converter yesterday, but now I'm waffling on the whole line. Thor got me interested enough to take a closer look at this line and get on the wait list, but Hulk's price has me wanting to bail on the whole thing. Guess I'll think about until Cap is ready to ship.

That's what I expected,he is smaller but not by much,and with his arms raised ready to smash ,looks awesome I actually cancelled my age if ultron hulk,price being too high and this hulk being cheaper,and more in character ,placed the order...I plan to display him next to my xm wolverine ,or on his own...

Paint is a little f-ed on the knee and top of the thigh, otherwise, color pops and is pretty nice.

Smaller than I expected.

Got mine! Despite IM being my longtime favorite character, this is the first Sideshow IM statue I've actually wanted. I remember having the original comiquette in my shopping cart debating whether or not to pull the trigger, but I just couldn't convince myself to like it.

Quick shots:



only big issue that I can see is that the eye black paint on both heads aren't great (more noticeable on the regular head). Don't think it's worth replacing, a sharpie should be able to take care of it...

There are some "scuffs" around the yellow parts, which may be battle damage, may be shoddy painting. And I mean that on top of the intentional battle damage. Also the yellow on the right shoulder looks to have noticeably less coverage if you look real close.

Linework on the red parts are surprisingly nearly flawless, but a bit less neat on the yellow parts.

The base is probably the weakest part of the statue -- the street pavement looks "plasticy".

Overall, love the statue - none of the aforementioned issues can be seen from 2+ feet away.

Being the classic armor I think this would have been perfect with a chrome-like paint finish. God help my wallet if Sideshow offers a variant down the road...

Thanks for the comparison between the HX Thor and SS IM.

I would like to see the HX hulk in comparison to this SS IM though

Got my exclusive today. Very happy how it turned out. Looking forward to Captain America coming in a couple of weeks. Pre-ordered Thor, but probably passing on the Hulk. Just wasn't wild about the head sculpt on the Hulk and with the cost, agree with others that the Hulk/Wolverine would be a better way to go. Feel good just going with the Big 3.
