Unlike others I can't say this is ex or fail. I think both heads are even, just different.

I'd ask early as I'm sure they'll get a lot of requests and will soon just give you a sorry here's 20 bucks or send it back.

Please don't say this....... That would just not be right.

It's sold out so it's true. Better move fast if you want a replacement.

 

[Avfin]

no call back from jennifer or ssc

 

[SixMillionDollarMan Guy]

Quality. Good job sideshow...

Hulk isn't as hollow. He feels better and more solid to me

 

[averone]

Light as a feather!
So what, can we move forward
It's nice to know I can put Rhino on top shelf and not worry about killing my back doing so

 

[Snadinator]

Shhhh. Rhino is being a ninja and hiding amongst my wife's stuff.

 

[Mr. Green]

he's not good for weight-lifting but he sure is good to the eye, if you can get a quality one of course, LOL.

Most are likely fine. As with all things, the vocal minority are always louder.

Than you for making me laugh out loud.

Wow! Is this the new norm for SS statues now? Galactus next?? Wow.... The massive hulk is the same........

Ok this I admit is a good thing on a positive note that I can put him on a shelf, which he is on now im just now wondering, I mean is this the right way to make statues without future issues with the lesser materials used by SS? I mean if I don't get issues from the way these new cheaper materials are used then it might be ok. The price still sucks since we are still charge a premium for the highest quality product. But as long as QC in the future is good with this technique then I can live with it. :/

Maybe the hollow casts are only for the statues with no ES. I bought a LOTR Snow Troll from SS very recently and he is very solid, very heavy.

But rhino had an ES? It's all saving that's what the bottom line is. I guess as long as I don't get issues from this material used I will be ok. Otherwise it's unfair to make us pay premium and have cracking layer on months or years down the road with no recourse. If this was the case I will quit collecting. Not worth the risk of the new way they make these suppose high end things. Once if I find out things start to secretly appear on rhinos, hulks or newer hollow statues. It's time for me to move on. I love statues and hope I don't have to do it. All depends on QC years from now. If I must I can live with hollow, now QC issues down the road from this material I could not.

So do you think a set lower edition size might mean better quality with fewer qc problems?

You're right CBG. Rhino is not an open ES...so this might be the new status quo for SS. My point was that if hollow casts are the new norm, it is a very recent change. So much so that it seems SS initially intended the Hulk Maquette to be solid, and for some reason changed the production piece to be hollow cast during production. (By some reason I mean...they decided to skimp and save $)

So do you think a set lower edition size might mean better quality with fewer qc problems?

Again, I was wrong in my statement about No ES=Hollow statue. But...as far as paint apps go, I don't think ES matters. These are all being painted in the same factories in China. I doubt the factory workers are being told the ES and at what degree of detail to paint.

There seems to be no rhyme or reason on which is solid and which is eggshell. Wonder who makes those decisions. I was very happy with skaar.
