believe that perhaps only one batch was dispatched for delivery, how many boxes were, we cannot be sure. But, does anyone know any collectors who have received it? Except collectors from Asia? Do not know anyone. So I believe that many statues are still in the factory.

I've only seen the pics and the cellphone vids shared in this thread. Not much to go off of but I won't be too quick to judge without seeing more in hand photos. So far, I like what I see.

Given the price point, I think we all have high expectations and rightfully so.

The sculpture is perfect. The only problem is the application of painting around the mouth.

I believe it was a slip. They put some protector around the mouth and paint the teeth, and then forget to do the finishing touches around the mouth, remaining in the basic green color below the final applications.

Here, a photo of the prototype and a photo of the final product. Realize that a dark green color around the mouth has nothing to do with the original art. It was a slip.

I'm hoping this is it, but from the video shown on the previous page, we can see the green spot on four of a total of six statues in the factory.

As I wrote, with the green spot or without the green spot, he is still the best Hulk. However, with the green spot he gets a 9.4 note and without the green spot, he has 10 points.

I have trust in XM studios, so I think it will be fine.
I Hope.

Please stop using that oversaturated picture from Augustine as example for the prototype. That was not how the piece looked like at SGCC 2018 and not the prototype color.

Here is one from myself and the second from an collectors shows the production color better.

thanks for the contribution. But, with this low resolution, we cannot thoroughly investigate the Hulk's face.

8 billion people agree that the body painting is phenomenal, that no one doubts, the detail around the mouth is the issue.

So, if you have any recent photos of the Hulk's face where he appears without this green stain around his mouth, it would help a lot in solving the problem. Or, if you have an old photo, of the prototype, with the same green spot, it will do as well.

You have?

robertobagg10collection posted a few more in hand pics of another collectors Hulk on Instagram. The area around the mouth looks good imo on that particular Hulk. I'm sure Grumpy will share more pics soon.
