I finally got the sucker unpacked and setup. Being my first XM statue, I'm still kind of in shock with the acrobatic routine I had to go through to get the shipper box off, then remove all the bubble wrap, so I could then remove the actual XM box, then wrangle it around to get it out of the plastic bag, then flipping it over to get the XM lid off, then unstrapping the belts, to finally see my beauty! LOL I do not exaggerate the boxes weight 55-65lbs - my cat had his "WTF are you doing?" look going on. If you've ever watched them strong man shows where they flip huge tractor tires over and over.... there's your mental image.
The statue is really great. Its not perfect, but as a Hulk fan I couldn't be happier. The online pics/vids don't do it justice. It looks so much better in person. I think the torn shirt is what throws this off. In person it looks really cool, in pics not so much. My only gripe is the crotch area looks too small or pinched. But all in all, its a really good statue that I think anyone would be happy to have in their collection.
I think the XM "hype" isn't really hype, its the real deal - legitimate excellence, highest quality, unique creativity, customer engagement, etc...
Also, a thanks to Tavegg!!! You're video was my deciding factor on PO'ing this statue. I couldn't be happier - thanks for taking the time to share with the community!
Anyway, here's a pic or two
