Golden Lover by Julie Bell

[aeumuse]

A past Fantasy Figure Gallery Series release sculpted by Shin Tanabe.

Not a favourite of many I suppose....I personally feel she's an underrated piece & like her alot for her simplicity & elegance.

Hope you all enjoy them pics & do share your pics of her here too~

Nice. I love Julie Bell's art.. and you're right, this is an elegant 3d representation

[Fuzzylojiks]

Great pics and nice piece bro.

[Vallos]

It's a nice piece, that unfortunately, does not resonate within me. Your photos, are great, aeumuse!

[lukvader]

Love it too. And great pics !

[Achaean]

I love this piece - just wish it was in a larger scale.

[Weakling]

Love it as well and been thinking about getting it myself. However the colors seem kind of flat here, maybe it's the way it's photographed. It looked much more vibrant in the offcial product pics

Love it! It does seem a bit small, but I think I'll have to pick it up after you reminded of this piece with your pics.

Shin Tanabe is quickly becoming one of my favorites (I'm way excited for his Ritual).

[Fuzzylojiks]

Damn if this ever makes it to 1/4 scale my wallet is doing to suffer.... greatly :x

Just beautiful.

[aeumuse]

Thanks guys~ Glad you all enjoyed the shots.

Yeah, wish this line was all 1/6 or above....other than that they display better, it's also much better for aging eyes down the road too lol

As Weakling mentioned too, she's actually more colourful in-hand, so I do hope my pics didn't turn anyone off from this piece. :o

[Weakling]

Your pics almost did turn me off from this one tbh. Now the only consideration left is whether I can get away with putting such a naked piece on display or not ...

[aeumuse]

Sorry to hear that Weakling, I'm sure there'll be contributions here or elsewhere next time by other collectors with more accurate depictions to assist you in your decision.:)

[Anachron]

I enjoy the sculpt, however to make it a buy for me it would have to be larger ( i am thinking 1/4) and resin or polystone.

[Weakling]

Nothing wrong with the pics as such aeumuse. I think they are great. I was just a bit surprised by the colors. But you explained and now I know. Keep making photos, I do like them.

[hotrodhoodrat]

What's the production number on this Golden Lover, any one know ?

[hotrodhoodrat]

I have never seen or herd of how limited it is.. could some one help ?

[aeumuse]

What's the production number on this Golden Lover, any one know ?

There isn't any indication of production no. on the box, and as far as I know, yamato did not specify too.

Yea.. I know, I looked in the box, on the box, around the box "LOL, nothing !",
its not even on YAMAMO web sight or the statue "facepalm"
their should be something, specially if your paying 85+
for the figure IMO :rolleyes2
I just hope some one can find out for us.. it would be
nice to know, will YAMAMO make 100K, 50K, ...
How valuable will it be.. one of the biggest reasons I
like to collect these is because of limitation of each peace :)

Did anyone say golden lover.

[Juggernaut]

it's a nice statue Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell are great artists.

None of my favorite artworks from them have been made into a statue yet though.

[Vallos]

Put them in the suggestion thread, Juggy.

[Vallos]

At first, I thought since this was shipping from Japan, that 1,981 Yen would equal to the retail price here in the states. Nope. 1,981 Yen comes out to $25. That eBay seller is dellusional if he thinks someone pay $1,981 dollars for that statue.
