Love you collection!!!!
I really don't like his lips. Makes it look like a child's cartoon Hulk. Is it that bad in person?

In my opinion, yes. My first reaction was disappointment because I thought the face looked really poorly done. That said, the rest of the sculpt and paint look very good, and from more than a couple of feet away the face looks fine.

I got the savage version as I wanted green/purple pants Hulk, and the facial expression I don't think is all that bad. I like it. This is my third Bowen Hulk, and I completely agree that this is the perfect comic book version. I was really impressed on how big it is, taller than my Maestro.

just seen the savage version at my not so local comic store...sad to say I am not as impress as I thought it would be. nice enough but lacks definition. any bigger and I doubts bowen can get away with it. maybe the savage version will impress me.
That is a big issue for me with Both versions. Just way to smooth looking and no definition. You can tell it's a digital sculpt. IMO Bowens Retro and smackdown are better comic Hulks. Both are just lacking that "wow" factor. They are Huge to be sure but that is all that they seem to have going for them IMO. I like the Green and the fact that then picked for the Web exclusive but it begins and ends there. But congrats to those who love it. Personally I am happy I passed.

Pictures do not do justice to these statues ( especially the website exclusive). In person, they are majestic and beautifully painted.

If it's skin texture and minute detail you want, the new Koto looks good.
Since this is based on one of the latest incarnations of a comic version it fits the bill. It's not like you see skin texture on Savage Hulk in print.
I think it turned out exactly how it was meant to.

I agree. It is the classic look of Hulk, all the way.
Hey modern or classic, you can't have it both ways
It's cool if you love it. It's just not for me.

All to true JAWS. Let's call it a modern take on a classic look.
Looking forward to Planet Hulk PF, which I keep telling myself will be my last.
That's exactly how I see it. Hence I call them timeless & I love them both~I reckon those who like both the regular & the variant right from their proto stages, like them for their designs as well as the direction they were headed for, which in my opinion, were bold lines & minimalism that remind me of modern pop art. Add them crazy body proportions to that, I personally didn't see bowen trying to present these as non-digital pieces at all.

Sosa's work is a modern take on the classic characters. It is his signature art style. His sculpts are more muscular, more defined and more good looking.
Classic Hulk is not a Guess model or a super cut body builder. His facial features are more monkey-like and his body more frankesteinian in proportion. The Koto version has more similarities with the film versions of recent years. I am not saying that is a bad thing but only that is not 100% accurate to the original. The two Bowen versions are more in line with the 70's & 80's take of the character.
Throughout the years, we have seen multiple renditions of the Hulk. We all have our favorites. There are plenty versions to go around to please younger and older fans alike. I am going to get the Koto because I like it and not because I need it on my classic Avengers display.
We already have a Hulk!!!

Reason I loved Savage Hulk so much was because he reminded me of the 80's cartoon, which I also loved. Used to wear out the two tapes from the local video store back in the day.
