To give you sexual analogy, that is like asking which do you prefer... oral sex or intercourse?

Both yields satisfying results, but provides two different experiences!

They are both amazing pieces, and you can't go wrong with either. I would go with whichever appeals to you the most.

That being said, Cleopsis is without a doubt the CotD statue that I have that has made the best impression on any friend or family who has seen my collection, none of which are collectors by the way, she just seem to appeal a lot to anyone who sees her.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

I have both and really like them. If I could only have one I'd get Cleopsis since I love the Egyptian theme.

You really cannot go wrong with either. You'll have to pick which one resonates with you the most.

For me, I have to give the edge to Xiall, simply for her unique design. Cleopsis is a gorgeous statue. One that enthralls me each time I see her. Loads of detail. But her Egyptian motif has been done plenty of times before. For that, Xiall gets my attention a bit more.

I agree with you.

Both statues are amazing, but Xiall gets my vote simply because I haven't seen anything like her. She's literally just a walking skeleton, but she's somehow regal and elegant at the same time. I have no idea how they did it.

I would say Xiall gets my vote over cleopsis. She commands attention and although cleo is well done as medusoid said it is a look that has been done and she is very human looking (long nails notwithstanding).

I'll let you know tomorrow when Cleopsis arrives. But, I've said this many times, Xiall is amazing and one of my favorite pieces in my collection.

I know exactly what you mean. She is a walking contradiction. She looks like she can move gracefully. There is sense of fluidity, but yet, she looks so rigid and stoic.

I like them both
Appart tastes, i would vote Xiall for design and execution.
Cleopsis because egypt speaks to everybody and she will retain or gain more $ value than xiall maybe.

With my tastes i vote xiall and i think the Xiall LSB is one of the most incredible bust i've seen.
