^Yeah, they are doing it lately with several pieces (Spider-man comiquette comes to my mind). Anybody actually thought it was the real size???

I think it is what it is, a 1/6 scale piece that although heightwise will look decent with Premium Formats, not scalewise as his head is too small. They did say it was 1/5-1/6 scale in the 'Ask Sideshow section. In the BSP they wanted to make it look huge, which was a little misdirection and just a marketing ploy which to some extent worked.

Thanks for posting that bear, much appreciated.

sooooo your saying this isn't 1/4 scale i thought everyone knew that after the pic with HB. and again

basically we're getting the best 1/5-1/6 hulk piece ever made. sounds like a win all around to me.

best 1:5? to me no because of the bad hair. i have seen much better custom hulks.

this will be forgotten like magneto comiquette when a 1/4 scale hulk comes out

when you put him next to other stuff you will always remember how small the head is or how the bad hair is not normal for hulk.

only good hulk is a huge hulk

say what you want no way this tiny headed fellow will become popular. nothing to display him with but hulkbuster and sideshow will move on the bigger better statues leaving this one in the dust.

the fact that he is still in stock with a 500 exclusive edition size should tell you that.

so what you saying? ssc should never revisit any pieces they've made before, that kinda seems like a silly request.

i wonder what companies like bowen would do if they couldn't do at least 15 different takes on each character.

just a bit smaller though. i think ssc will eventually make a 1/3 or 1/2 scale of hulk at some point.

if not then they should as they know it would sell well.

IMO, it's a CQ and should be displayed with other CQs, not PFs. There has always been a scale difference between the two. I'm confused as to why people seem surprised about this.

Um ever rarely does something stay sold out. All the current grails like Hulk pf and Doom were available months after. It takes a while to sell out.

Okay!

I talked to Sideshow Mike yesterday about the size of Hulk and all and here is part of that conversation to explain what happened...



me: Hi Mike.
me: I have a question regarding Hulk Comiquette...Kathy sent me and email about it today
Sideshow Mike: while I can see if I can help you
me: she told me that it is slightly smaller because of the changes on the final base
Sideshow Mike: that is correct
me: She said that it is 3/4 inch smaller making it 23 3/4 tall instead of 24 inches...
me: however, someone who received one measured at 22 3/4 inch, just above Indy PF
me: And looking at the comparison photos with Hulkbuster and even on the BSP with Scott, it looked much bigger
me: It is a great statue and you guys are the best at customer service, but I feel that the photos and video were a bit deceiving....
me: Sorry about it but I just want a bt of clarification
Sideshow Mike: believe me, it was not our attention to deceive you at all
me: I know
me: but the perception everyone had was it was a bigger statue.
me: It looked bigger on video and on photos
Sideshow Mike: the actual character, the hulk, did not alter as far as we know
Sideshow Mike: the picture that you sent earlier is a bad comparison because they are two different formats
me: I'm aware of the different formats, I'm just comparing to the BSP video and the Hulkbuster photo
Sideshow Mike: since we just started receiving and shipping these pieces, we have someone pulling them to compare the two right now
me: Look at the video again...it is very deceiving...
Sideshow Mike: the BSP , i have seen
me: also, if there were any changes on the base we should be aware of it way before shipping, don't you think?
Sideshow Mike: the photo i m look at right now but without the two pieces not in front of me I can't tell you if its changed
me: did you see the photo of one of the collector holding it..it looks way smaller than the video with Scott....
Sideshow Mike: The base image I believe is the same. It was the height that and depth of it that changed
Sideshow Mike: i did not, the only photo I have is comparing it to the indy and Jack
Sideshow Mike: tell you what though, if you receive the piece and are unhappy with it, i'll refund you in full
me: look....all I'm trying to say is that the perception was it was a bigger piece according to what was posted on your site and that we were not aware of any changes, as we should have been
Sideshow Mike: I'll notate your order so that it taken care of
Sideshow Mike: right now neither of us have seen the production piece first hand so let's wait until we do
me: I'm not unhappy with the overall piece, Mike, just disappointed of the information we got and the final product
Sideshow Mike: I totally agree with you.
me: I'm sure I'll like it but please let us know of any changes before hand and make sure Scott or whomever is doing the BSP video is beside the piece and not behind, giving the impression it is bigger....
me: thanks for your help anyway and have a great Thanksgiving
Sideshow Mike: we are trying to get all information out there as quickly as we get them, but we have barely received these pieces in.
me: it is a great piece......I saw it in person and was impressed....
me: thanks again Mike

Mike has always been very helpful and they seem to trying to figure out what happened but I tried to emphasize the importance of letting us know of any changes before hand, so people can have the choice of choosing to keep it or cancel it.

Having said that, after reading through everything and going through the emotions, I think personally we overreacted a bit and although we had good reason to do so, most of us did not get the piece to make a real assessment of it and then give our opinion. He is big if compared to 1/5 comiquettes but not compared to PFs, which is the case with the above picture.

If it looks anything like what I saw at ComicCon, there's no way anyone will be disappointed and after looking at the Con photos, I realize it was not as big as I thought. I think at the end of the day my biggest beef with the whole thing is the comparison photos to Hulkbuster and the BSP video that made this piece look way bigger that it is......

I hope this helps, I'm looking forward to receiving it and to hear your reactions once you have it in hand

Cheers

Bear

, I'm glad this was corgel, Mike is playing the safe no doubt, no matter how many times you were going to drill him direct.

A 1/2 scale would be awesome, I probably wouldn't fit a full scale one in my apartment but I'll be all over the 1/2 scale.

They did say they were not considering half scale in a chat session some time back tho' ;(
