Enjoy!

Awesome pics Jayden. The colors on her are spectacular. There is nothing not to hate about this statue. Dean Mason did another stellar job. I hope I get mine next week.

Here are the last few pics.

I'll get a few more done up shortly, and might see about putting her next to Kiani and Grace. ATM I don't have room for them to all be side by side.

Cool. Doesn't look slanted.

[Jayden]

Nope, I don't really see a slant to her at all. Like I said, the only thing that's a little off is the shoulder fins aren't completely symetrical. They're seated in place but not exactly in place.

But she's still gorgeous!

I'm really curious about an exclusive.

If there really is an Ex, I would have liked to have been able to choose between the two from the get-go. I'm fine if one turns out to be more expensive. I'd hate to feel like the Ex is way nicer.

Paint wise it is simply gorgeous, much better than the pics and the base looks like a piece of art.

Sorry to hear your´s is broken...I received mine on friday and I agree, it´s really the most fragile Statue I´ve got in my collection. Especially the shoulder fins are extremly fragile.
But on the other side she´s also one of the most impressive Statues i´ve ever seen, she looks gorgeous in person!

As for an outsider and would be first time collector for Aspen, I do agree with you, Aspen comes up with statues with such intricateness to details and movement that even though its beautiful and it also proves to be its weakness.

I did not pulled the trigger with Kiani for this reason even though, I had so many times tempted to give it a shot but seeing people can not display them because of the leaning issue and though replacement was made, the problem is still there... I can only hope my first statue with Aspen will be a good start.

For me, the most safe of all of their 3 statues is Grace, though the wings are understandably fragile, but the pose is safe for a display you can surely enjoy, til the end.
