Statue ARH Conan W/Slave Girl and 8FT Snake

[Monger]

Like I said I will run it by Arahom, there may be a way to do this still without the girl for you. We will see what happens. Its a bit of work to order it from factory this way if thats what you want.

Even if it doesn't happen in the end, I really appreciate trying to cater toward the fans. Keep me posted if you can.

That's a great personalized touch, something we won't get from SS.

We are a small company, not much we cant do with our factory.
But standard sales are 99.9% with the girl!

We are going to change the face a bit, listening to the folks suggestions.

It will be revised once for the show yet.

Sure thing!
Your in Seattle, Im trying to get our main shipping diverted to Seattle, you can just come over and get yours in person if you like from me.

Woah that would be awesome！How would I go about doing that?

Orders at imported either SF or Seattle
We are tying doing Seattle then you can just meet me after and I'll have it at my place in Kirkland.
There is still a shipping rate for getting them from China
But you save a few bucks

 

[Monger]

I live in Kirkland lol that would be very convenient. If I were to do that method when would I need the money though? I was hoping full payment wouldn't be for awhile. Not sure if I could scrummage up the dosh in time.

Hate to be that guy but another thing that doesn't make a lot of sense to me is the base, just from a design logic point of view. So is the snake supposed to be going through holes that are already there, or is it supposed to have somehow pushed through stone/slate/whatever?

Either way, there should be some space and/or debris around the snake at the points where it goes through the base, as currently, with the hole being exactly the same size as the snake parts emerging through each point, it looks rather odd. It's just too 'neat' looking, and doesn't convey a true sense that the snake has, or is, passing through the base.

Plus, just how did the snake get through all that stuff in the first place if the hole around the tail is the same size as the tail itself, given that the snake must have logically entered at that point for the tail to be sticking out of there at all.

Yep, I'm that guy...

Cool!
No just make regular payments or a monthly Flex payment
We will cross that bridge when we get to it. I will go get them
When they arrive.
It going to take 7-8 months to make this after orders go up.
We will try to import ARH Ex's before the SS gets theirs.

Ha ha ha!!
Come on and join me. Lets wait till you see the entire thing from the show.
The snake had broken the base apart since I last saw him, and these photos do not do this statue any justice!

The entire thing is bigger than the Medusa's base!

Its a fair point ....I was thinking the same thing.

Wow sounds great! Could you add me to your contact list then? I'm not totally sure right now, but the idea of getting the ARH EX without the girl sounds like a great plan especially if I can pick it up in person.

Was really hyped for this one till now, Conan looks good, and the snake is OK, but the girl and base? I would have liked to see a base like Sideshow did with their Conan Rage of the Undying. Layered, so the snake can wrap around weave through the base. More 3D, this thing looks like a toy. And why is the snake chained too? I will admit Conan looks great.

 

[Dr Sanchez]

Very disappointing, all the months of hype saying this will blow other Conan statues out of the water has backfired, this dio is average at best.

I would like to believe that us humans aren't quick to judge and slow to change, but after reading all these comments....well, I'll just say we are quick to judge and slow to change.

After all this time on these forums, one would think the phrase, "Wait until you see this in person" would kind of stick by now.

I just can't fathom how most are quick to tear this down and have yet to see it in its finality (mostly finality) at NYCC.

I'm not saying there will be a humongous difference between the POOR PICS that have been shown and the ACTUAL look of the statue in person, but my goodness....pfft.....whatever. Most of you just don't get it. Just my observation!

Oh and btw, I am not a fanboy who can't point out some concerns of this statue from the pics I have seen, but I sure as hell have seen enough statues that at one time I thought wasn't impressive, turn out to be pretty damn impressive in person.

For the record, I do agree with most about the neck and face of the lady, and I also don't like the fact that both Conan and the girl are unscathed. There should be some cuts, dirt, bruises around the girls wrist, etc. to give this a more authentic look. However, I am not going to lambaste this just from lackluster pictures. I will reserve a more factual assessment once it is shown in its entirety at NYCC.

I would like to think that most are reasonable enough to do the same.

Alex who at arh decides paint colours? Who ever it is, really needs another job. What's the go with the makeup on the girls face... The snakes body colours make it look like it's one of the lollies from the 90s.. The "killer python". Looks shocking.

This was so hyped up and now it's a huge disappointment.

Btw I'm a big arh fan but sorry this is far from impressive.

I was never planning on getting this anyway as I'm no Conan fan but now hoping your God line doesn't follow this.

The makeup on this girl reminds me of the heavy makeup on the Queen of the vampires and the Valkyrie. The Valkyrie was such a great sculpt and I was so keen for her, then get face was painted like a cheap ho.. Ruined it.

I'm hoping to be blown away by the Minotaur, Ares and Alexander the Great however after this my enthusiasm is wavering.
