Premium Format Planet Hulk / Gladiator Hulk Premium Format Figure

[alphatrion]

what color is the bottom side of Hulks sword? Mine is kinda green, is it suppose to be reflecting Hulks skin or did they forget to pant it?

All like that.

OK, just saw the pic. The iris is certainly off on one eye. One is perfectly centered and the other one touches the top of his eye lid. It's definitely off and gives it a googly appearance. It wouldn't surprise me if all of them look like this. SSC's QC is questionable at best on some runs. That said, just because they are off on all of the statues doesn't mean that it's not a defect. I'd try and talk to a manager and get them to pay for the return shipping if you are not happy with it.

Please keep in mind that it doesn't help you case when you post that you think he's great and he's one of your best statues so far. When it's all said and done though, the eyes are definitely off IMO. It's not glaring, but it's certainly there.

If I look off to the side my eye my one eye that is looking away from my nose tends to be covered a bit more then the other... The iris get covered by the lid a little... especially is I have my head tilted down a bit.

Just saying.

Are you saying you have goodly eyes also?

I received one with severe eye misalignment too. SS sent me another but it arrived broken. Today I received a third head and it's finally perfect. Now ranks as one of my favorite pieces.

What did you do with the damage heads ? Had to destroy ?

LOL!!!!!!

Walked into that one


But seriously try and imitate that hulk sneer. Your one side of the face tends to close your eye a tad and thus covers the lid a bit on that side.

the issue is that the right eye is looking straight.

The iris on both eyes have to be the same. If one is in a different position than the other, it's a defect. Now, if collectors are OK with what they received, that's all well and good. However, the ONE photo I looked at closely (alpha's) clearly have the iris in different locations in each eye. Having both eyes positioned properly is the 1st challenge. After that, both irises need to be centered in each eye. If that doesn't happen, the eyes will look googly regardless of whether they are perfectly positioned or not.

This is a GREAT sculpt. Each collector is going to have to decide individually if the eyes bother them or not. However, if the irises aren't uniform on any of these pieces, it's a defect no matter what SSC says. If someone ordered this piece and isn't happy with it because of the googly eyes, the should get a FULL refund including SSC picking up the return shipping cost. The excuse by SSC saying all the heads have the same issue or this 'hero pose' qoute is ridiculous. Please understand that I put a HUGE premium on the eyes of any piece I order. IMO, if the eyes are off, the whole piece doesn't work for me personally. It's disturbing to hear that if SSC screws up all the eyes on the run of a piece, we will have to pay return shipping if we are not happy with googly eyes. If this is going to be a common SSC practice, it won't sit well with me.

What do you think? I still haven't seen a "correct" one. View attachment 128716

the issue is that the right eye is looking straight.

Well it's not totally straight... the right eye is looking left. There is an equal amount of white space between both eyes in the direction that he is looking.. But yeah I would say it's off a tad.... How does it look when it's on the statue and you look at it froom all angles? Does it look off then... Because I have seen very few pics of this guy were it does not have the same issue that yours has.

Ok I get what you are trying to say.. You are saying the the left eye is looking up a tad because the pupils are not exact.. (I put a ruler up to it and it is so small of a diff I doubt you could see that in real life) I thought you were just saying because the pupil was covered up by some of the lid that it was uneven... I think that goes with the facial expression.

I dont know... I just know that mine looks great from almost every angle but that one used above when a camera is used.

Like I said I amusually very OCD and if mine looked as bad in person as it does in some of the photos I took I would have been asking for anpother head (I originally did and then wrote SSC back and told them not to worry about it because in person it looks great)

But if alphatrion thinks his looks bad in person then I hope he gets things settled.

 

[Collectorcol]

They're not all like that. Didn't Geno say his replacement was perfect?

 

[Rulk]

OK um I think a lot of you are blowing the eye position out of proportion, if you look at it without zooming in 400x it looks natural.

All the crack loving haters that were "disappointed" by this...

Don't get it twisted, get it twisted
This my ****, bow down *****es
Bow down *****es, bow bow down *****es (Crown)
Bow down *****es, bow bow down *****es (Crown)
H-Town vicious
H, H-Town vicious
I'm so crown crown, bow down *****es

THIS PIECE IS AWESOME!!



















*sigh* Apocalypse my sweet, there is a huge difference between Apoc and Gladiator. You can tell they put extra care into Gladiator. Apoc shouldn't be priced the same. It's BS that there seems to be a boycott of X-Men related products.

I received number 44 / 3000
A letter was in the box stating this was inspected. I appreciate the extra value - added measures however the person inspecting it scratched the paint where the obedience disc sits. Not a huge deal but I would like touch up paint to fix it, either or the disk covers it up when displayed.

 

[Collectorcol]

Grats Rulk!

An extra Q.C letter?... Sweet!

 

[Chug]

That is one loaded shelf... Did you reinforce it ?

 

[Statue You]

GH, Skaar and Thor....those are some Huge mofos.
Looks great, Congrats !!

So here is an example of Eyes look great in one photo and look wonky in another... And in all honesty in person they look great...

So here are two photos of my Hulk Head.... That I HAVE to get a replacement for... Right??





I mean.... Look at those googly eyes!!!









And yet.... Same piece.... Different Photos..













Nothing really worth returning there......


Not saying that some don't have the issue... But I just think it is being blown out of proportion. These are all super zoom shots... In person it's not an issue.

 

[Bmutha]

The eyes on my head were fine, and the eyes on my replacement head were great (was replaced due to damaged feathers).

 

[JAWS]

Here is a video from statuehunter75.. He is a great reviewer... Goes on and on about his eye paint apps.... Freeze it right at 3 min exact and you will see the same issue...

I have the link lined up to 3 min mark so if you try and hit pause right away you will see.


OK I am done


Just want those on the fence about getting this have nothing to worry about.
