People who have never seen and touched the original sideshow pieces will never be able to comprehend the difference in materials used and the quality. The OG Hulk style is honestly just preference. If you enjoy the monster look, you will love the original. The quality of sideshow OG pieces in terms of materials is night and day. All new pieces are hollow and cheap feeling. The paints are applied way thinner and the casting is just cheap. I think the artistic style has greatly improved with the 3D printed statues used today. If they made the OG hulk exactly the same today, the piece would cost $1,500 easily. The OG is a solid 50 pound statue. Touching the casting and feeling the quality paint used is amazing. The new pf is half the OG’s weight, which includes the base. The new statues today have way better bases, excluding OG Dooms’s amazing throne. Shipping these old heavy statues is another crazy expense that sideshow would never attempt again. When I see the price of the new thanos and see the horrible thin casting with broken legs, it just makes me wish for the better quality older pieces.
