I wish the Gamma Smash version was modeled after the Gary Frank Professor Hulk.

Congrats to those that picked him up - looks incredible. May be the best Hulk statue by Sideshow.

Sideshow would do well to use these 2 pics in promotions. Would sell them out and probably would have doubled the ES.

Hey IronLungs you got any bigger of yours?

If you need to take photos of your statue where shadows hide 60% of the statues details, it's a bad statue. I don't place my statues inside closets or in dark hallways, they are in well lit display cases.

Nah it's just contrast lighting. It makes 99% of every statue look better and really emphasizes the importance of lighting.
Harsh lighting can make any statue look ho hum.

So this comment maybe applies to the one picture, what's your excuse for the other one?

It's surprising to me how little these statue companies use Professor Hulk or Mr. Fixit in their works. Both could be VERY popular if done in the right context (bunny slippers would be cool!)

I would definitely buy a Gary Frank style Hulk. Maybe some day.

Mine is supposed to be delivered today, but no sign of it yet and my tracking information with FedEx appears to be messed up. It hadn't updated since Friday when I paid the customs and duties charges. Hopefully delivery is on track.

Sideshow somehow sucks with duties and such. This Hulk cost me an extra $250 CAN to get over the border, while the LBS Hulk I got through Spec was almost triple the price and was only $150!

Sideshow is a more legitimate and honest business.

Be that as it may I would rather have more of my own money in my pocket. Especially as it relates to taxes.

Gem Mint posted an unboxing video for this statue today. I'm avoiding watching it until I get mine, but definitely curious as to what he thinks.
