The only statue I have ever received broken was the Eggshell Black Panther.
And I am positive the Rhino cracking was due to the mold process. Had nothing to do with shipping. Fiberglass is very resilient. Much more so than polystone.
So while yes, when picking up Rhino, it feels underwhelming, do not mistake that for fragility. I am pretty sure I could kick him around my backyard and he'd be fine. (not the head though, that is polystone)
Joker is hollow? That's a shock.
I thought all regular size characters were solid.
I have Black Panther as well. Love the pose of that statue but the weight on that one was very underwhelming too.
Rhino was advertised as polystone so that does suck. I wouldn't necessarily have wanted him to be 50-60lbs but at least 25-30 would have been nice.
Another hollow statue that surprised me was the ARH Medusa.
Daredevil Life Sized Bust is extremely light given its size.

Whatever the case is dude we can go back and forth all day. I don't really care if fiberglass is more resilient then Polystone. It doesn't hold any significance for me. Crack is stronger then pot but that doesn't mean I want to smoke it. I just want a solid statue bro. That's it!
Yup! 1:1 busts need to be. Still cost a fortune to ship though.
The days of solid statues with SSC is gone. The best we get is semi solid. LSF and busts will never be solid or some people wouldn't be able to lift them.
Yeah, I know. Think it's what started thisCourriers and dimensional weight rather than actual weight... I try shipping something through UPS, I changed the weight from 20 to 8lbs and it didn't change the price. The idea that this saves on shipping may be premature. The dimensions of the box are more likely an issue.
I think package dimensions factor more than weight, regarding price, but this is huge
Might be compact packaging but i'm expecting it to be pretty light anyway.
Anyone tried moving the 1:1 Berserker Bust?The days of solid statues with SSC is gone. The best we get is semi solid. LSF and busts will never be solid or some people wouldn't be able to lift them.
Well I don't mind partly solid. It doesn't have to weigh a metric ton to get a smile from me. Bats was perfect! Hollow chest and all. Didn't mind black widow and the hollow base. Fortunately I have more then one company to choose from now when it comes to 1/4 scale marvel and I will pay more for a solid cast statue. Just me dude. Not right or wrong. Just my preference
Tavegg, I am not arguing the merits of solid vs hollow. I am only pointing out that fiberglass is tough. I too would have prefered if my Rhino EX was heavier, but I still like him.
All the life sized busts are fiberglass if I am not mistaken. If they were solid polystone they would be way too heavy. If Hulk PF is 50lbs or so, imagine an LSF or Life sized bust... could be hundreds of pounds.
The first few busts were solid

We need a video of you doing this or it's not true.
