Hulk PF vs Hulk Maquette

[VS1976]

Shai just bring Shai.

I think some of you are missing the point. Bear obviously is considering his costs here. For those of you that are saying keep both, sell nothing, that doesn't seem to be an option for him. I don't think he wants to sell the PF. However, because of finances, it seems something has got to give.

Bear, if you are a HUGE Hulk fan, keep both and sell something else. If you aren't, consider which Hulk you would want to represent the character in your collection. Sell the PF if you think the maquette looks better and you are limiting yourself to one statue of a single character.

I sell off any duplicate of characters if SSC makes 2 of the same character. I'm a big Punisher fan. However, I love the Com much more than the PF. The PF is boxed up and will go up for sale when I get the time. Mystique is the only other PF I own and is on display now. I also bought the AH! com. I will not sell either because I love how both look and really like the character. If you really love the Hulk character, I think you will regret selling the PF. You obviously like it. That's why you bought it.

Yes, i sold my Hulk pf so i'll be able to afford the new maquette.

I find it hard to understand how some people could have such horrible taste by continually bashing the Hulk PF.

 

[Bodie The Cursed]

How much this thing gunna cost? Selling a hulk pf is a sin

 

[Bodie The Cursed]

I find it hard to understand why would someone not want to own BOTH the PF and the maquette. Oh no, wait... I understand, its cause they are losers in life.

Lol

It's not some people. It's more than any PF owner cares to admit. His face doesn't cut it and the pose is boring. I had the chance to pick this up many times, it's the easiest pass I ever had. It does not represent the Hulk I like. As such, it will not find its way into my collection. I have the Com and really like it. This maquette looks great so far. If the price is right, it will be on display in my collection because this is what I like my Hulk to look like.

I find it funny that most PF owners get all up in arms as soon as someone says they don't like it. PF owners/lovers need to get over the fact that there are collectors that don't like the piece. Collect whatever you like. Just don't be surprised if some collectors don't care for a statue you own. We all have different tastes.

Exactly. Well said. In your world, there are no losers and sinners and i like that.

Hulk PF grey i would keep,but both green pf and the maquette are an easy pass

Hi guys!

I appreciate all the answers. The thing is that I can't afford getting a lot of stuff and I could only have one Hulk because of the price. I love my Hulk PF. It was the first Sideshow piece I got and the one that got me into collecting PFs.

The new Hulk looks awesome and I collect most movie related pieces but I do have 2 comic statues which are Hulk and Spider man Comiquette.

I can't see myself selling my favorite piece to get the new one and I will just hope to be doing well financially by the time it comes out so I can afford to get it and keep both...

Cheers

Bear

The simple fact is that Hulk will be produced in many variations, which should eventually satisfy ALL collectors!

Just read that Sideshow is gearing up for a HULK VS WOLVERINE DIO release!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How maquette are u going to buy?

Look like this piece will have fabric/jean material on. So i am not sure, how many i am getting. As of right now, its all depend on my tailor to see if she could sew me the exact blue pant and material to fit this maquette once its arrive. I will discuss with her later.

Are u going to convert any of them to Rulk or WWHulk?

I use to own the PF Hulk and Sold it. Wish I still had it even though I am not a huge fan of the Kirby style. It really is IMO one of the best statues SS has ever done. The good outweighed the bad.

As far as some on here complaining about the PFs boring pose I would like to say that I myself have never been a huge fan of the PF pose. However are you guys saying this Maquette pose is exciting? Personally I think it's even more boring the then PF.

I think in the end It will come down to how good or bad the Avengers film is. If it sucks then I would not want the maquette over the PF no matter how great the sculpt may be. Why would one want the Avengers Hulk to represent the Hulk in their collection if the film sucks? If the film is great then you just have to ask yourself which one you like more.

It really is a toss up of for me. THe PF is a great representation of the Kirby Hulk and this new Maquette seems to be a great version of the film. I guess I give the edge to the PF because it is an all around more universal version of the Hulk. The Maquette is pigion-holed into just one film.

Personally I like the Comiquette better then both. Much better pose and I love the ripped muscles.

Now that you bring it up. Good chance i will. It would be a cool pose with all the shield and weapons in hand. My first initial was to repaint it gray.



The matter of fact i will do the same thing as i did to the comiquette version.

Cool will love to see the finish product.
Now for the long wait

 

[Mr. Green]

Just show me the coming WWH and Wolverine vs Hulk since I would like to skip getting Wolverine by himself. And a modern Hulk PF or LSF, I would get.

To answer the question...I think you should keep the PF. Only because it is a hot commodity right now and likely for a while. Now onto how I truly feel about the piece...

It's because they want the price to skyrocket to even more ridiculous $$$ so they can have an excuse for why such an ugly Hulk is sitting on their shelf. That's just my opinion...so don't sh** in your pants because I said it. Frankly, I could careless if people think my collection is garbage because it's what I enjoy...and I don't collect for other people's approval. So I don't understand their need to always go ape-sh** when someone talks negative on it. I don't want to be all negative about this piece because it does have many positives (sculpt, weight, size, comic accurate, etc), but that face is just something I'd expect from those early horror flicks like Frankenstein.

Sorry, but same goes for almost all Wolverine's made by SS.

Wow, guys!

This is going way beyond I thought it should.

Filip629 is right. The only reason I asked is solely because of cost. I would have both if I could.

My dad use to tell me that you can not argue taste because everyone's is different and boy, was he right?

Some people love Kirby Hulk PF, like myself, some hate it. I think the new Hulk Maquette is great but the pose is a little weak, but I'm sure plenty of people will love it.....

Who cares? I just wanted to know people's opinion. I was curious. That will not influence me in the end because I love everything in my collection and if it comes down to me selling Hellboy II PF and Mark I Maquette to be able to afford the new Hulk, I will be unhappy that I have to get rid of anything but I have to figure out what I like most.

I'm a huge Hulk fan and if I can get the maquette and keep the PF, so be it...

REGARDLESS of anyone says, I think the Hulk PF rocks and it is my favorite piece in my humble collection, although 90% of what I have is movie related.

I just hope that Sideshow will make the maquette affordable enough.

Cheers and have a great collecting week
