Statue Sideshow Hulk vs Wolverine Dio - 1/5 Scale

[Heavy Metal Spike]

Nice piece, but I much prefer the old Wolverine/Sabretooth dio from 2005 (price was better too - $250).

Ah - the good old days of war, famine, pestilence, nicely priced collectibles (and liking Sideshow)

.

I prefer this Hulk version, a lot.

$250 would be nice

Ex will be ordered..Good stuff Sideshow!

Martin you did an incredible job once again! Now please Sideshow get martin to sculpt a Modern Hulk 1/4th PF!!!! Please!!!

 

[marker2037]

It's a very impressive piece for sure. I wish I had a spot for this....Might need to figure something out.

Arguing over who guessed closest to the price?!

Nice surprise for those getting this piece. Still expensive but relatively decent considering recent announcements.

Not lovivg the neck seams but nice looking piece.

That's my only complaint. There should be absolutely no neck seam on the HULK since there is no change of head.

Yeah, I like this MAQ more than the Sabes dio.

GOD YES! Gore Group modern green HULK PF FTW! Full sculpt by Martin with no COH. Raging and mad as hell please.

We have definitely been reconditioned.
A year ago it would of been '$650! Are they insane'. Now it seems reasonable

This does look very impressive though...

There is some truth to that... But I figure two 1/5 scale figures... Hulk 350.00 Wolverine 300.00.... That seems somewhat fair... If this was Hulk by himself it would be 500.00 +++ now.

These might be SSC best PO photos... Very nice!!

My goodness this is a beauty

This was Sideshows insidious plan all along!

They were thinking long term.

sideshow was probably watching our thread laughing, at first they were thinking $650.00 was trouble now we are going to be heroes.

LOL reading the past several pages about pricing. The luxury watch market went through the same "reconditioning" of customers over the past 10-15 yrs as prices climbed to ridiculous levels. But in the past 2+ years prices have been crushed on the secondary market and demand has weakened significantly for new watches as prices have essentially pushed many buyers out of the market.

Don't know where the high-end statue market prices will ultimately reach "ludicrous speed" and collapse, but I think we may have more upside on price premiums to come. maybe when 1/4 pieces get to avg $700+?!?!

Well Sideshow has seen how much some of us are willing to pay for XM, Prime 1 and Iron Studio pieces.

LOLS on "ludicrous speed" - love it

If the QUALITY matches, I'm good with it.

I've always said that I was willing to pay more for better quality / QC.

It's a long wait until in-hand pieces let us know if THAT is the reason for the price increases though.

Wolverine is perfect on this piece, but that Hulk is going to take me a while to learn to love.

Yep I feel the same way. The wolverine really is great but something is off on the hulk for me.

It's the Sternocleidomastoid muscle isn't it? I find it to be weird and awkward looking.

That's the way I see it, too. At 1/5 scale, Wolvie and Hulk are reasonable at 300 and 350 ...or even better at 250 and 400. So the price is not bad.
