TBLeague Shiva the Destroyer

[Kebron]

Two versions Silver and Gold

Is it time to perhaps merge all the different TBLeague gods and myths lines into a single thread? There’s Egyptian, Greek, Chinese, and Hindu ( I’m probably missing one) be easier to follow this line if it was all located in one thread IMO.

Man, I was really hoping TB League would get into the Hindu gods, but they even got the skin color wrong

Would have really liked to have seen them tackle multiple arms. After their Medusa, I’d have expected a bit more creativity out of them on this one. I’m admittedly not very familiar with the Hindu gods but even I have seen Shiva depicted most often with multiple arms and blue skin as well.

I'm not a expert on the religion, but from what I've read Shiva has many forms, some with 4 arms, others without. Also the blue skin is only suppose to be around his neck, something to do with a poison he drank and the stopped in his throat. He is sometimes portrayed with ash over his skin, like the picture above. If you look at his palm its not blue. Not sure why the ash is blue. If you do a Google search you'll see many different depictions of Shiva.

I am no expert on Hindu gods by any means, but it is my understanding their multiple arms are generally contingent on what they are doing at the moment. In some cases, they may have any number of arms.

Anyway, I would love to see these gods in 1/6: Ganesh, Hanuman, Kali, Parvati and Lakshmi. And others, of course!

Shiva is depicted as entirely blue in some iconography but it is more mythological accurate that only his throat is blue because of the poison. Shiva is usually not depicted with multiple arms. Tbleague absolutely nailed it with Shivas usual characteristics..the goddess Ganga and the moon are two things I’m so glad they added.

Vishnu is the multiple armed blue god you guys are thinking of.

I really like how they gave him a beard! Iconography shows him beardless but it seems so much more appropriate to depict him with a beard since he is a yogi…really love the choice!

I’d love to see a blue multiple armed Vishnu or blue Krishna. Maybe a Rama. However, if I had to choose it would have been Shiva anyway.
