Just opened up Croc. I'll be the first to admit when I'm wrong he is pretty beefy. I still would've liked him to be bigger but he is def a good size. Love the sculpt and the paint. The neck seam is obviously noticeable but not obvious unless viewed from the side.

Unfortunately this looks to be a statue that will have a lot of chips. I've got a huge chip on his right foot and shoulder. There is also a paint rub above his left eye. I can live with the shoulder chip and rub above his eye but can't stand the chip on his foot. I seriously doubt Sideshow will grant a replacement body. Guess we'll see.

Also wanted to compare him to Spidey and discovered a big crack on his leg that was not there before. Ugh I think this is a good time to just get out of the game. It's only been over a year since I got Spidey...

Leaning issues you think?

Spider-Man? I don't notice a lean at the moment. There are paint rubs on the square peg on his hand though (from pressure of holding up Spidey). The paint crack def wasn't there when I first got him.

If you are asking about Croc I don't think he'll have leaning problems.

Aside from the many qc issues these pics looks amazing! Can't wait to see mine soon. Imo I still
Believe this is a definite ex or fail. Besides it's always best to have both heads to change it around once in a while like bane, leopard lady, and captain marvel etc.... all amazing ex's!

Just opened 241 and put it together. A lot of people (me included) were hating on the EX head. However, in person, I really like it. Originally there was no way I'd ever use it, but now I'm not sure which head I like more. The neck seam is a non issue for me. Maybe I just got a really good one, but it's nowhere near as noticeable as the one on my Hulk, it's more comparable to the neck seem on Spider-Man. This thing has some weight to it too, although the base feels really light and hollow. All in all, I'm really happy with it.

I love these pictures and might display this without the splash also. Is the splash made out of the type of materia that the Wonder Woman PF spear cloth is made out of? ( that would have been way better if it was real cloth with wires imo). I hate little fragile extras like that..

I just unboxed #205 and I'm very impressed to say the least. I haven't found a suitable app for uploading pics on this forum, but I have posted about 30 pics on Facebook under the Sideshow Collectibles, Statue Collectors and Statue Collectors United groups.

Killer Croc is bigger in hand than he appears in pictures, but is still a tad bit undersized, but not by much. The base is huge and the figure itself is very HEAVY! The whole piece takes up some serious real estate. The paint apps are stunning - especially the feet. The neck seam is what it is, but you can't go wrong with adding him to your collection. Besides, he's a Batman villain- the non-female kind.
