Thanks a million grphyx1. where did u get the info ??The EX sounds too tempting to pass
 
I'm wondering if the size of Bucephalus head got smaller? I'm not complaining as I already ordered this and will love it. But it looks smaller than what was first planned.
I like a little blood on Alexander, as long as it is on the lower portion of his body. No need to get blood on his face. It conveys a sense of him cutting enemies down from on high as Buchephalus charges into battle. The more I look at it, the more perfect the blood spatter looks to me.

I also did a little research (Wiki) on Buchephalus: A massive creature with a massive head Bucephalus ,is described as having a black coat with a large white star on his brow. He is also supposed to have had a "wall", or blue eye, and his breeding was that of the "best Thessalian strain.

Oh! And also the kitchen sink!
Lol

What else you guys want?

We decided to go all out on this:lecture!
 
Will we get to see any pics of the upgrade package?

Ski

Upgrade in package is not the foam per say, the new upgrades that are not shown here.
The extra head, cape, spear etc. these are what Arahom talking about.

But yes from here on the new foam is being used on all packages. We didnt get to it on the prior packages (Ares, Conan etc.)
If you like to see an example of the foam I will show you. Its much better in my opinion and I have seen it in person as its being used now by some.

Thanks for the response Ave. But what I was asking about were pictures of the helmeted head, spear arm, cape and art print. I watched Arahom's video and he said he will show them after NYCC?

Good to know about the new packing materials though.

Yes he hasn't finished them yet. But I am sure they will be good
Alexander is his very favorite character ever, so I know he would do a good job on the head. I am not sure if someone else will do it or Arahom at this time
No pics to show but sometime after NYCC when he has some time. Anyways all extra are included for the EX so you will not miss out
 
Just for help and reference the one on the right is one like Alexander's helmet with one feather in its front and its rear:

In general I don't like it overall because I think that something is missing and that several things are off. Maybe it's the paint I don't know.
Also if you are going to offer spear keep in mind that it was under 2 meters long in real life and you also should include a shield with the statue.

This is by far the best Alexander the Great statue I've ever seen. The paint job is beautiful; what would you do differently with it? Saying something is missing and that several things are off doesn't help anything if you don't explain what you're talking about. You kind of just sound like you're trolling.
 
It looks gr8....I might as well go for one...I was expecting a bit more detail on the Bucaphalus hair and legs ,or it could be the lightning . Overall a really nice effort and its massive...don't know where I would display him though ...:(

Ok I am sorry if I sounded like a troll. I didn't mean to.

What I think is off since you asked:
- Horse's paw shouldn't have hair.
- Alexander's thorax armour isn't right.
- His resemblance is more of an Oliver Stone's Alexander the great depiction than what we have from ancient sculpts. He is way stylized.
- The colors palette choice isn't successful.

Anyway apart from anything we should thank ARH for even bothering getting involved with Greek mythology and history heroes.
Saying that this is by far the best Alexander statue out there is a truthful statement and you are not lying...but maybe it is so because I don't think there are other collectible statues of him...

Yes
We did try non-stylized sculpt and they didnt sell well at all in the past.
Yes there are resemblance to Stone's but not the same.
In fact the new helmet will look similar also

Yes :exactly: a shield would be the icing on the cake. I agree it needs to be included.
