People might find it..not impressive because it's the silver surfer, but let's be real he is a guy who is silver armored nothing very superb to ad or incredible details like ironman for example. I am a surfer fan and I love the piece I find everything is great about it...sure they could have made it chrome, but I don't want to spend like 1k on a huge chrome statue...
But I can understand what you guys say although I find it totally awesome!

Still don't see how anyone can find the seam lines so obvious. Unless you're looking for it and it has to be up close, its not obvious at all. All of my friends who've seen that piece were even surprised that I could switch the heads or the arms of that piece, they all thought it was one piece.
I will however concede that the seam on the head is a little obvious if viewed from the side but it doesn't bother me at all. Its my first comiquette purchase from sideshow and I'm more of a bust fan so it says quite a bit for me to buy that comiquette. Heck the iron man mark 6 statue still has me thinking back and forth whether or not to get it, the silver surfer was an instant love. Beautiful piece!

glad to be of service.
Hi, everyone. First post here. 
Thanks, Solidsnake, I also liked your review. So much so, I'll be probably buying the statue even though I promised myself to collect only PFs.
(Then again, a Surfer PF is obviously not feasible, and the 1/4 scale of this Comiquette definitely helps, too.
)
For future reviews, though, and I hope you don't mind me saying so, I'd recommend you'd try and ton down a bit that 'I mean' filler. Don't be afraid to leave some dead air, so to speak.
Anyway, that was both passionate and informative - good job. I hope to see more reviews from you.

Great review, Solid 
Makes me want to buy this one even more. Might have to keep an eye out for a solid deal.

Thanks for the great review, I originally passed this up because of all the interchangeable parts and was thinking of getting it now. The seams on the arm and head are too much of a distraction for me and the review confirmed it.

Ok...I'm big enough to admit it.
I was wrong about this statue. To be honest, when I first saw the Backstage Pass I was really pumped about buying this. Then in hand pics started hitting the forum, and the issues with the seams started to take hold. I didn't have a problem with the seams when I first viewed the piece, but once others mentioned it the whole "seams" issue invaded my brain. From that point on everytime I saw a pic of this piece, or saw it in person, all I could think about is the seams.
Then I saw Solid Snake's review, and afterward I started feeling like I did when I first saw this piece. I was fortunate to find an auction on e-bay and grabbed one for $250 (included shipping).
I just received it today...and I have to admit that it's pretty sweet statue. The seams are not nearly as bad when you aren't trying focus on them 24/7. It's absolutely huge, and the 3 switch out heads and 3 switch out arms provide great flexibility as to how you display this piece.
Don't get me wrong, I love this forum. Lots of insightful information, lots of good discussion. But sometimes it's real easy to get caught up in the mob mentality of a thread. No one wants to appear stupid, so if an issue regarding a piece gets heavily discussed it's easy just to jump on board and say "yeah that statue sucks". Sometimes you just have to see a piece for yourself and/or trust your gut feeling.
Needless to say, I am very happy with my purchase.

My Surfer EX #31 came today and this thing is awesome. The seams are a non issue as they are well hidden and tight. Paints apps are great and the Cosmic particle looks is perfect. Anyone on the fence with this piece because of the horror stories about the seams....it's nothing to worry about.

No shame in changing your mind about a piece. I've done plenty of that too. Who cares about what the mob thinks! Congratulations on your Surfer.
