Yeah mine definitely has the butt dimple (she also has a dimple on her back, right above her butt, on the left side). It really is an amazing sculpt. Every time I walk by her I notice a different area that looks so realistic. I wonder who they had model for them.

Hey statue companies, someone give this guy a job!
Great pics as usual, desertdragon.

* Her size, combined with the brilliant sculpt, gives her a charisma that photos don't really capture... she completely commands the space around her, and she's just epically wonderful.
As for the drawbacks of the piece, I think others have pretty well described her shortcomings - there's no positive attachment for the statue to the base, so moving her means you're pretty much disassembling / reassembling her (at least I have to). I was dreading the infamous 'bubblegum' nipple color, but oddly on my piece it's not nearly as bad as I had expected - but let's just say she's an indoor kitty for sure :-)
Overall I'm really blown away with how well the piece turned out, and I'm thankful to have her. Attached are some of my glamour shots of her, which again, don't really do her justice.

Thank you TNovak! There's a listing on Ebay for her right now at retail, so you still have a chance - she's totally worth breaking the piggy bank for

haha thanks Valkyrie! Actually, being a photographer for any of the statue companies would pretty much be the coolest job in the world

Ok... So after about a week of waiting for my return label I decided to reach out to ARH to see what was going on. Mellisa said they were clearing boxes out to make room for the returns. I get it... Makes sense. She didn't have a time frame so I asked... Are we talking two days or two weeks? Ball park something for me so I know what to do with this giant cardboard box in my living room. So she had a fast chat with Arahom and came back with one month. Ugggg.... What a killer!!!! I understand their situation, and I'm going to be patient about this... But I have a creeping feeling inside that I am not going to see Arkhalla fixed and on my shelf for a solid six months. Worse yet, I'm guessing there are people with broke statues that are not as fanatical in their support of ARH as me... I'm sure in the weeks and months to come there will be a lot of strong posts coming from unhappy people. Hopefully there are not that many returns going back, but with the hundreds and hundreds of statues going out, there's got to be a good amount of issues to deal with.

Well I did order frazetta huntress with cats. But because of the high postage the loonnng wait and after seeing arkhalla I managed to switch it for her. Arrived yesterday, the packaging was excellent and the statue stunning. It had a couple of tiny paint flaws but nothing to worry about. Her little finger and nip looks fine to me.
The only thing is the wife isn't to happy so if I can keep it, who knows. Either way 1 May have to go
