I have the same crack but not as deep.
That sounded wrong.

Weird...I had a non SS package out for delivery with UPS today that didn't show up. Maybe there was a problem with UPS in general today?

I just checked mine and I also have cracks in the same spot as the first 2 pics. E-mailed ss about it today.
Thin cast. Shame.

Just to save a buck. Sad. Hope mine is ok...but it seems like most reviewers have cracks on the back.

I've looked all over this comiquette and luckily no cracks. The only thing I found off was that the heads at least mine are a bit lighter in the paint job than the rest of the body. I used an bright white led light
oh no, this is to save the customer in shipping! god forbid it weigh like the hulk and have the same quality.. that will make the hollow fans upset, after all they wont be able to move it if it's too heavy!

Yep the weight is a detractor for me...visually the piece is incredible but for me weight and composition is a big factor in what separates SS statues from toys and the line gets a little more blurred the lighter they go.
I moved my Darkness PF and that good sirs is a solid statue.
And the line about saving on shipping is a load of croc in my opinion. It wasn't cheap shipping (what would it have cost, $20 more per statue to ship?) and the price wasn't a discount either so I don't see how the end customer benefited from it. And that is o.k. for SS to do if that is how they want their business model to be but I don't like it at all.
Another thing I noticed...if I tap Rhino he feels and sounds like thick plastic whereas the Wolverine Comiq, AH She Hulk, Darkness, etc. feel like thick stone.
That being said, I love this piece....just irks me a little bit.

I've moved 7 times in 7 years. I like when it's easier to move pieces around. Weight doesn't matter to me, unless the cast is too thin and is cracking. At that point it's a FAIL.
Here's hoping for a good piece.

Yup same **** here. Just opened mine and found two back cracks and the reg head has an ear chipped.
Ex head is badass though and he looks great diplayed with the Hulk pf.

Man, it sucks to hear about the cracks being found on this piece. It looks so damn good otherwise. I hear what peeps are saying about not needing a heavy statue but I'm sure if SSC used some more polystone on this statue a lot of these issues with cracking could have been avoided. I'd rather have to deal with a weight issue instead of the cracking issue going on with pieces like this. I hope SSC can find a way to make their larger pieces with more quality. Skaar was a large statue that wasn't solid but was very well made. He weighed about 40 lbs and felt very sturdy. There is no reason for Rhino to weigh less except to save SSC some money.
Collectors deserve better than eggshell sculpts that crack when they are dropping $400 or more on a statue.

Was rhino also 40lbs? The shipping costs is the same for skaar?
No, Rhino isn't 40 lbs. I didn't order Rhino but from what peeps are saying in this thread he's about half the weight of Skaar.
