I have seen it. Not my cup of tea, though. I'm spoiled on the painted Frazetta pieces.

Thi statue was released by the frazetta art gallery. it was released with a stain glass and base off an original frazetta sculptor. The frazetta art gallery has a couple of artist proof for $2000. They are really nice but frazetta commented that the anatomy of the statue was messed up and that a better statue could have been made...

I had one of these and as noted it came with a stained glass image of the artwork. Very limited. It was a nice piece, definitely nicer than the image posted. It nevr quite wowed me though so I sold it, at a nice profit.

I have the print that the statue is based on. It is one of about 30 Frazetta prints that I have framed. "Against the Gods" was one of his earlier oil works (1966) and I liked it at the time I bought it, mainly because there is an album cover (I forget whose right now) that was similar and at the time I collected LP's. That was a great investment by the way, nothing like having hundreds of vinyl LPs when CD's come out (Doh!). Anyway, like most people here, with the new stuff coming out I can't say I would really want to spend the kind of money for this thing that would be required. BTW, how big is it?

It's been a while since I sold it so I'm not 100% positive but it wasn't very big. I'd say somewhere around 9-10 inches tall.
