I went with the Cape, Sword instead of the Axe and the only decapitated head is the one she is holding. Didn't care for the pile of heads look. I did use the axe in the stump, cut off hand with the sword and the crow. I really like just the crow without the heads, think it looks pretty cool that way.

It's awesome that there are so many ways to customize this piece. I can't wait for mine to arrive.

So my Arhian came in today... Here are my thoughts as I unpacked her:
I took out the base first. I'm super impressed already. It's a really cool mix of wild outdoors and cross thatched brick. The detailing around the base with the skulls is extra cool as well. Loving it so far.
Pulled the body out... No damage. So I'm happy about that. Fitting her onto the base as a bit of a struggle. Nipples are a very realistic tan/brown. I say without reservation, the best ARH nipples to date on any of my statues. The whole thing is super well packed with foam. They are going above and beyond to protect these things during shipping.
This sort of works against them with the second belt which is already fitted on the body and wrapped in plastic and tapped. It was a nightmare to get undone. I suggest having a pair of scissors handy as well as a girl with small hands and long nails. If this belt is removable, I sure dont know how to remove it.
Two hand options... Of course I have to go with the one that's holding the head. It's heavy as hell and I was concerned about the magnet, but it seems to be holding just fine. Really nice paint work on this head. (After it was assembled and against my better judgement, which I look back on now as stupid... I moved the statue without taking the heavy head holding hand off and the magnet still held. Not something I would do again, but I'm more impressed/grateful to this magnet)
In the other hand I put the sword. The axe was cool but there is already an axe for the tree stump and there is an empty scabbard for the sword that clips to her belt. There are really a ton of options for this piece. Like boarder line ridiculous how many ways you can display her.
Both heads looked great. In the end, I went with the cloak. I already have Arhian 1 so the cape sets this statue apart from that one. More to the point though... It's just really bad a$$!!! Fit on like a glove and magnets held like crazy.
I used all the stuff on the base they put in. It wasn't my original intention, but it was just too cool to leave off. Is the sculpt on the three severed heads great? Not so much but it's not bad considered it's three severed heads. There is a cut off hand and bloody sword that sits on the bas that's also cool. And if you don't want to use them, the holes are not so noticeable.
As for the chest coverings, they stayed in the plastic. Can't comment on them.
Overall I love this piece. Definitely one of my favorites and well beyond my expectations. If I was going to complain about anything, it would be how it fits in the base, but that's a minor thing that you really have to be up on and at the right angle to notice. I'm also not a fan of the fit and placement of the axe in the stump.
Thanks Arahom and thanks Ehren for this awesome addition to my collection!!! And great work on all the additional options and accessories that came with her!!!

Not nearly a clear enough image of her nipples.
