And I can understand that point also. It all depends on a persons display I guess. I like to show off hulks huge size so I display him at an angle so that you can see his back and legs. Unfortunately, with Spidey attached, the light post and Spidey cover Hulk's face. Maybe with the proper display (turntable?), I would consider reattaching Spider-Man. At least we both agree that the statue is incredible.

I'm sure you'll get it in perfect shape. Sure, there are horror stories out there, but I'm certain the vast majority of folks who order from SS are very happy campers. And yes, you will LOVE this piece

The next vs piece (Cap-Skull) will will have the same, if not 'worse' display-ability issue.

I think the Cap piece won't be as bad as it can be displayed side on.

But you would be missing the other side and front and back.

With Hulk you could display it so that you see Hulks face/expression and Spideys back (wich displays Spideys action, the evasive jump, quite good) and be satisfied with it since (while still cool) you arent missing THAT much if you cant see Hulks back. But with the Cap vs Skull piece the base itself is just so detailed it feels a shame to not be able to display all sides of it. Kinda like Doom's throne.

But yes, with Cap you would have the feeling you would be missing less since you will be seeing the entire scene.

Nice review bulls!
Completely agree about spidey, the best sculpt of him ever imo. And, like you say, he definately needs displaying with hulk as he makes the piece look so much more interesting.
