For years I took a punt in having a stance that Kirby art for me was terrible and same with that awkward statue . Now I purchased XM which I’m every way is superior there are those who still knock it??? Thats why I write these posts so trolls from other sites can read the truth or my opinion on the matter .

Hahaha, that is awesome - truth v opinion? Isn't this subjective preference?
I actually have the OG Hulk - my first statue, and I'm blown away by the XM piece and considering trading this for the OG in the future, it IS that good.
Having said that, make no mistake, the face and features are preference to when you came into hulk and what look you prefer, same as the legacy maquette or the ECC hulk being more for movie fans.
BUT, there's obviously many reasons why the OG is so desperately sought after, one of which being that the master Andy Bergholtz sculpted it, and as an owner who's had this in his collection for over a decade, it still remains the absolute pinnacle of anatomy from ANY company to date, in my opinion (not preference as I appreciate the more realistic legacy and ECC physiques too).
The XM interests me because it has that same standard of anatomy from the artist, and I also came into the hulk through the comics after the caveman like features were toned down for the hulk's face. I'd also agree that it blows the OG out of the water in terms of the dynamic appearance, base and of course the addition of Banner is amazing and collectors who can afford the XM should be nothing but pleased. But bear in mind they've had over a decade to improve on the OG, yet I'd still say the OG has the greatest presence in my collection still and that's with only recently bringing in the larger P1 pieces and even the 1:2 Mk 3 maquette to my collection.
Anyone that speaks in 'truths' and 'facts' about which portrayal of a piece is definitive just makes themselves look ignorant, as that truth is only specific to themselves. Don't keep opinions to yourself, express them which is the exact point of forums like this, but don't ever naysay or negate someone else's opinion or preference because it doesn't conform to your own.
