I might be in the minority here but I prefer the Maquette.
I also think its a bit early to be saying the quality isn't going to be as good, who knows? Being the owner of an Iron Man with a very dodgy chin I'm hoping there's no issues with this piece. Looks like a straight forward paint app.
A recent piece I have is Bucky Barns and the paint application on that is absolutely fantastic, one of the best I've seen.
 
made by me for you guys,let me your opinion...

There is no contest. The original Hulk PF pose commands strength. It also captures light and shadow better. It's a true classic and will never be duplicated or surpass.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe that specific Hulk PF was from Andy B's personal collection which he modified the paint to make it look ideal...and the lighting on the PF is FAR more flattering on the PF compared to the Maquette.

If so I want Andy B to customize the maquette for me!
 
I like them both and will own both, but if I have to choose one, it's gotta be the maquette.
 
For me the PF and the Maquette are super close. I think I like the muscle definition in the PF better, but prefer the Maquette pose and head sculpt hands down. For me the deciding factor will be size.

IF THE MAQUETTE IS BIGGER, IT WILL HAVE THE WIN!!!!

Very true on all counts. I also think that the pants are fully sculpted on Andy's PF. Look at how much nicer they look than the cloth pants. So much better IMHO. Comparing the 2 sculpts with these 2 particular pics is unfair. To take a well lit picture of a customized PF and a grainy one of the maquette is a bad comparison.

If the maquette had a custom paint job, sculpted pants, and there were well lit photos of it, then it would be a much fairer comparison.
 
I prefer the maquette as I have never been a fan of the face sculpt on the PF. But for those who have the PF and have been with Sideshow since it has been released I'm sure they'll prefer the PF.

The Maquette is by far 10X better than the Comiquette...

You are wrong on all counts...those are cloth pants.Andy stated he just ripped them and he didn't change the paint on the PF(just added a stripe to the base)...does his paint look any different than my PF.

Your hate for the PF is nauseating that you have to post your dislike of it in every thread....WE GET IT,you don't care for it !!
I think both the PF and Maquette look phenominal.
 
I bought the PF when it came out many years ago. I saw it in person with my own eyes. I hated the pants and wasn't a fan of the face. Aside from those two issues, I think it's absolutely perfect and of an enormously high quality. I sold it a couple of days after I bought it because I just couldn't get over the two issues I mentioned and the only reason I regret it is because I could have made a ____load more on the sale now. I've been waiting for a better Hulk since then. I love the comiquette, but this maquette will most likely beat it.
 
I don't own the original PF so it may sound like I am biased but I prefer the new maquette. I'm not crazy about the face on the original. Other than that, I think it looks great. If I had been collecting when it originally came out, I would have bought one for sure. Now that it costs 1K, I don't think i will ever get one. The new one is much more to my liking and will hopefully be around $700 so it is an easy decision for me.

Barbarian I agree with you on all counts. Were we seperated at birth??


The quality on the Hulk PF is great. It was that Kirby face that made him expendable. Oh and I needed $$$$. Wish I still had him for bragging rights ;)

Are you sure you are not gonna hate the pants on the maquette bro? It is a cloth pants :D
 
Seeing the title of the thread change and the pic with pants, this Avengers Hulk Maquette is now a mixed media PF?
