Lol seriously. They probably make enough money selling 1 statue to cover the overhead/storage cost of 100 statues.
Yeah, you think SS doesn't have advisors who number crunch and can tell them on a whim if they are over extending themselves.

At $400 bucks a pop, we'll see how long it takes to sell out. Especially with as many buying options as there are right now with the '89 Premium Format, life size bust, Hot Toys, etc.
Your right, my two MBA's in business taught me nothing.
I don't care about your MBA's. If you don't work for SS then you have no idea. You should have a degree in speculation too.
What would be perfect would be no edition size on anything. Made to order everything. Then everyone gets one and people don't buy them ahead of the people that actually want them just to flip them. As a true fan of the art and the enjoyment where are you gonna get a better deal than that?
Yeah, then you would have no idea how valuable your statues are. You would never know how many are out there.
I'm probably in the minority here, but I think this looks far better than GH. Less goofy or something, idk, probably because of the outfit. That being said, I also like how you can see more of the armor on this one.

I'm with you in the minority. Haha. I think this looks better simply because it's more visible. I love that metal arm. If G Hulk could switch out the shield for the axe... Good lord I wouldn't be able to resist.
I don't think you guys are totally in the minority. Not really. This pic really does show how much losing the shield opens up the sculpt. Now don't get me wrong the GHulk looks amazing, but King just shows off so much more of the sculpt.
Also there are a few more differences then just the arm and head. The Loin cloth, and the gauntlets are different as well.

Igo said:Dear everyone who thinks that this was a simple "repaint" is...
- New head w/ tiara - sculpt and paint
- New left arm, shoulder pad, and hand with axe, not just the hand - all sculpt and paint
- New left hand armor - sculpt and paint
- TOTALLY NEW loin cloth - cut & sew
- Re-worked base - sculpt and paint
So, "simple" no. The difference in his armor (left and right hands and left arm and shoulder pad) and the lion cloth (for those of you guys that actually know the difference between Gladiator and King from Planet Hulk and WWH) that's why we couldnt JUST do a swap out arm and head.
Sure, we coudlve done a new head expression. Passed the point of no return with that a while ago, and this is where we're at.
Lol... Yep there were I few. I called this as the Ex
I love this and g hulk, both look great, but the g hulk is so covered, you can barely tell it's a hulk. If people see it and don't know about planet hulk... They'll think its a roman with gonorrhea or something...
Shawn, we get it. You called it

Brilliant!
I figured they would do this as well. However I did not figure they would call it an EX. Forgot they did that with Grey Hulk PF way back when.
Gladiator Hulk statue is not for Hulk Posers
LOL!!! Thinking the same thing.... Gotta love Spidey
That is my only complaint with SSC on all of this. It would have been nice for them to give an EX for the original with a switch out hand or something...
Having said that I personally think the GH looks far better then the KH... I just prefer the look of it. Even though the shield hides some of the sculpt I don't consider it that much of a loss because the arm is covered in armor anyways. GH looks more natural. KH looks like an afterthought.... Which is funny because I am not sure that it was... Judging by the art KH was first.
Anyways It's a win either way. Would have preferred to have switch out parts with my GH but I would not have switched out much anyways. And for those who wanted and love the look of KH well they should be happy also.
When is the next Hulk release??
We originally intended it to be BOTH in one offering ie - swap out arm and head.
Then we looked at the reference, more than JUST that stuff changes, like the lion cloth is TOTALLY different, the base didnt make sense (Gladiator Hulk has the alien gladiator arena decor, the new King Hulk was modified to look like NYC) etc, so we ultimately decided to separate the two.
Found this from Igo in the Statue Forum.
That's what most people think they have a degree in
