No one can guarantee that. Especially after all the neck seam messes that Sideshow has been part of like their last Hulk and Killer Croc seams which were just plain horrendous. And there are many more others could probably add, and not just from Sideshow, but from Prime 1, Tweeterhear etc.

Heck the Iron Studios Hulk neck seam is imo better than the above Sideshow pieces and yet people are complaining about that one too.

I’ve got a feeling that’s why this new piece has those necklaces. Just to help obscure the inevitable seam line!

Not the most valid response there. I wouldn’t even take the word of a Sideshow employee if they were to guarantee that the prototype had no such issues. Because it wouldn’t be the first time that the final production piece magnified such issues once in the hands of collectors.

I agree 99% with you!

The 1 % is for the Galactus maquette from SS, a serious masterpiece

Can’t argue with that. Their Galactus is very nice.

There won't be such issues like what they did to Hulk PF or Killer Croc.I think the reason is pretty obvious.

It’s not going to be a lack of love that drives me away from the hobby, it’s going to be a question. Which has more value, a hulk statue, or a trip to Europe?

I proper trip outside the country will cost a lot more than this hulk statue will

“Proper” used in this context is a relative term. My interpretation is almost certainly different than yours. That said, I recently grabbed a 4 day Paris vacation package including flight and hotel for $1100. The Hotel was fine, and the flight was fine. Not first class and five stars, but not bad either.

I'm going to assume/hope you added an extra 0 to the end of that.

Another rehash from SS.
