Hmmm most companies busts are ~$1,000. Which is about 3 of these. Just different priorities. Even unpainted would be cool.
Some of these would have quite the presence in lifesize scale.

Yeah that would be cool! Like I said, I love the life size stuff just for that reason...presence! I come from the mask world originally but when I first got into resin statues I created a company called Headhunters Studio and I made life size trophy heads of alien creatures to mount on the wall.

I had the same problem ARH would have....the original characters always have a much more limited audience than licensed ones. Most full size busts out there are iconic comic characters like Superman and Spiderman that are almost guaranteed to sell.

Saying all that.... I can totally see an amazing full size Medusa head selling amazingly well! I personally would love to see that!

Medusa would most definitely sell out. I'm not into the bust scene, but I'd absolutely buy a full size Medusa bust...there's another company that made one. It's super detailed and looks amazing but it cost something like 4 grand. Way too expensive.

So if someone wants to order a kit from these, the payment would be sent to you or to ARH studios?

Sorry, let me be clearer.
I’d like to hire you to paint a random generic mostly naked man who is jumping on a giant ape.

Yeah I would be interested in an ARH Medusa bust for sure! The 4k Medusa bust you mean is the Elite Creature one right? That is the worst bust I ever seen in my life. I originally had that one pre order and cancelled it after seeing it in person! Looked like a big ugly ventriloquist puppet that had an electirc shock! Absolute waste of money! The new 1/3 medusa Maquette looks even worse..I mean what the hell is that?! Thank god for the ARH medusa i say!

I might be interested in kit of one of the Medusas. I love the old one best but so huge of a foot print would possibly be a display issue for me. The new one would work better and I could have it painted the way I want.

Right now though with new Frazetta stuff coming out and I recently commited to another high dollar special independent product that I don't have funds available to buy either and then since I don't paint to find and hire someone to paint it.

But if they stay available for a while I would likely be in for one of the Medusa's as a kit.

Yeah, that Medusa with those stupid "legs" is really the ugliest statue ever made imho.
