Hulk VS Spiderman Diorama, Does this look wierd to you?

[vader70450]

You had the Doom Exc and the Gray Hulk dio Exc and you sold them both?

May I ask why?

i sold them for the right price....and used the money for a DP on a 2008 Jeep GC SRT8

Personally I like it as is and would not risk bending it. Looks great!

I'm thinking like you buddy, I rater have it a little off, than have it in a few pieces.

 

[Batman29]

the grey doesnt have a reg.It only comes with the lights that works.

Thanks Shai. I was going to ask if you had one too ... but already answered.

Gammabomb, mine arrived yesterday, and when I put it together, it looked pretty much like yours did.

So after computer fly posted his post about the post being bendable, I went for it, (CF is a trustworthy source of info).

I slowly bent this in place bit by bit with my hands, until the Spidey was back further AND his eyes lined up in look with the Hulks.

It really makes it look very different with these adjustments IMO.

Also, CF was right about a bit of the paint crackling off at the bend. After careful inspection BEFORE I did my bending, I noted there were already cracks in the paint at the bends. I would be willing to bet dollars to doughnuts that ALL of these have these paint cracks to varying degrees, there is simply no way around it once the paint gets to be a couple of years old.

Also, from the way this is packed, again IMO and from looking at mine, the post must be bent a certain way in order for it to fit in the styrofoam case, or you may run a risk of breaking the fingers on the hand.

Yes, my cracks in the paint got a bit bigger, and even had a couple of tiny flakes come off, but for me, this looks better on the display AND I noticed on mine when I slide the post in, it actually stays in know without no loose gigling, it fits in perfectly. There is no way you can see the paint cracks on display, and because they are so minor could be touched up easily.

This is my experience with it for what it is worth.

Thats great that you got it looking the way you wanted, I only suggested not bothering bending it because even with the slight misalignment, this is my favorite dio by far....Congrats on picking one up so soon!

If it's not to much trouble can you post a pic of your light pole so I can see what angles i'm shooting for. Thanks for the tips, you da man!!!

Here you go:

Good work Bats. I'm sure it looks WAAAY better than the way it comes. Also, regarding the cracking paint; As I stated above, be sure to heat the pole A LOT where you plan to bend it. Paint is nothing more than a plastic film, and it becomes pliable when heated, and will stretch instead of crack.

Thanks Balsquat! It is a nice piece, and you are correct, even with the slight misalignment it looks hot.

In my case they were just way to close together, and not looking directly in the eyes enough.

I thought about heating it up a bit on the bends, but there were already cracks there in the paint and tiny spots missing. You could tell it had been done before, and in order to put back in the box rebent.

Yeah, yours is REALLY close...... Looks like they're about to kiss and make up

It's worth alot to me buddy. You are a brave soul. I read somewhere that you will have to bend it back to fit it into the box as well. I think i might have to give it a shot.....who am i to argue with Batman???
