I have always loved Medusa. I actually want to get a tattoo of her somewhere. I just don't know where I would put a statue this huge and where I would put that room-sized box.

I think ARH should do a smaller version of this statue. One that would appeal to more collectors. They won't, since they don't care, but it would be nice.
Well she weighs the same as two average PF's. I agree this is a ridiculously big statue.
Tell what is it about the Medusa myth that you love? Her story is just so unspeakably tragic

Yes her story was very tragic. I like how she was turned into this horrible snake figured gorgon, but she is still IMO, depicted in a beautiful way. She is one of the most iconic figures used, not only in the past, but present. She is a symbol of feminism. She was also used in Versace's logo. I think that is very powerful. I think ARH's version of her is gorgeous, but after thinking about it, I would like her a little less "modern." I'd almost rather have a classic representation of her. I seem to enjoy strong female characters with a twist.

I think the ARH version (discussed here) is near perfect but just way too huge. Price aside even just making room to display her would be a big deal. I wish she had been made the same but in 1/6 or even 1/7 scale.

I also agree with Decherico that the first, smaller version, isn't really what I would want if I was going to buy a Medusa statue.
