Statue ARH Conan W/Slave Girl and 8FT Snake

Help Support Collector Freaks Forum:
By the latest Conan Im talking about the Conan the Barbarian: Rage of the Undying. EX had an ES of 100 now sold out - Regular 750, still not sold out
Sacrifice will be SOLD OUT, so there you go, exactly what collectors like to collect, a low ES and sold out statue
Well it was 100 .....then Sideshow decided to pull one of the more unethical moves we've seen and changed the EX ES to 200 after the first 100 sold out
...better than some of their other behaviour we've seen where EX statues go to waitlist and then after a rush of people get on the waitlist early, Sideshow happens to find extra stock to convert them quickly....

Averone, you still try to make this whole debate a matter of "hatters vs. ARH", which is totally not the case.
Your talk about how pricy this diorama some day will be, is nothing else than a hidden and desperate attempt to find more buyers for your product. Probably your interest in Greek mythologie has made you believe, you are the reborn or personified "Oracle of Delphi"... I don't know. All I know is: 3 ugly heads (no apparent resemblance to the Cimmerian barbarian) plus the most ugliest female face I've ever seen in a statue, period !
And infected by all your fortune telling and reading your prophecies, I dare to make a speculation by myself: Sales were weak, not even promoting it through SS helped, now you suddenly calling it a wise decision of limiting the statue.
I have sympathies for all collectors, who really like the diorama because now they will get a low numbered collectible, which is always a nice thing to have.
But you my friend are wether the Oracle (which by the way only spoke once a year at the birthday of god Apollon) nor a collector of the "common folk" which you don't stop to mention as often as possible, you are just a salesman, looking for your interest and not accepting other people's opinion.

i agree..suspense is unnecessary…today or 3 days from 2day makes no difference except that option b annoys me (unless it isn't a done deal yet but u get the point)
Lets for a minute forget the haters, it really doesnt matter anymore now. The Conan Sacrifice was for us a successful sculpt.
Sales are not weak, in fact we sold more for the first time on our own website than we sold through Sideshow.
Alright, so your not happy about the faces that Troy did for us, none of the 3 heads, and not the girl. So no problem dont buy it. Go get the many selections sideshow has right now for Conan.
As a collector, I would be proud to have this Conan. As a producer, it was a blast making it. It did its job in NYCC, and that was money well spent.
Could it have been better? Yes it could have been, that can be said for any Conan sculpt out right now, we did it all with a team of 2 guys, our main sculptor Arahom, and Troy helped with the heads.
Will we use Troy again? Yes sir, we will 100%, in fact he is already on with our laster new license.
And you are asking me if Im a salesman? Well yes how did you guess? Yes I will do my best to help sell ARH Inc and help the customers base grow.
Why would you think ARH Inc. is desperate? I appreciate your concern but we are doing better than ever. You will see soon enough with the new announcements. I hope you like them, we are investing heavy on the first new licenses sculpt and Ehren will be doing our first sculpt. (The gentleman who did Mino for us)

Sorry about that guys. Teasing you is not intentional or calculated.
Its is a step up, and its very exciting news for ARH Studios.
I think you will enjoy it
No difference its the same.

Conan through arh is an axe I believe. Snake/slave girl is the same from both. Atleast I hope that's how it is since I picked up snake/slave girl from sideshow for the points and exclusive from arh

I could sware that Snake and girl for the ARH EX had an additional axe as well as the Conan Helmeted head and the ARH ex Conan had the extra sword and Bandana conan head too...both had more stuff than the SS version...I coulda swore I saw that

The ARH EX Conan comes with reg Axe and EX sword...reg head and headband head.
The SS Conan comes with reg Axe and reg head only.
Snake base from ARH or SS comes with alternate Axe and helmet head.

Pull the trigger Adolfo! This piece is awesome! I can't wait to get it!

totally agree! I preordered conan from ARH and then the snake/girl from SS..lower deposit from SS plus reward points; and this way you get all the exclusives…i really think this piece is gonna be a big player/main piece regardless of the collector--looks GREAT and the presence it had @ nycc..even in the one picture..just blows me away

You bastard...I put $200 down and ordered the ARH EX.....Gonna order the Snake thru SS by Flex...I hope its a super low ES...It is a freakin nice piece...my only negative is the girl(just not done right IMHO)...again I gotta thing for the creatures...The girl not to be displayed is going back in the box.....Hope more creatures are made for him to duke it out...Gotta a strong feeling that in hand it will look better than the photos

You will thank me later. It is awesome. My wife doesn't really hassle me about the collecting for the most part (she just wants to know when I will stop) but she is far from enthusiastic about it. She went to the NYCC with me and I have never seen her so animated, mesmerized and genuinely excited about a statue. She actually encouraged me to get it even though I didn't need her to.
