I loved my Bowen...but once I got the ARH in hand, I was blown away...without a doubt the ARH is on another level than the Bowen.

I agree.
The ARH Barbarian vs the Moore Barbarian is a tougher call for me. Love them both but like Clay's Conan better and ARH's Slave Girl better.
I am also shocked at how fantastic Atlantis turned out. I originally ordered it just because it was a Frazetta and planned to display it but wasn't really excited about it. But to see it in hand it is a fantastic and impressive piece to be sure. One of my top 5 favorite statues for sure.

Without a doubt I think Clays version of Frazetta's Barbarian is still the best version out there...the ARH version is good but falls just a little short sculptwise to me, the paintup sucked on my ARH so it didn't help my opinion...had some flawed casting in some areas on mines.

Interesting point about the paint. Factory paint on Moore's wasn't good either but we have seen a lot of great pro paint ups. I would love to see a really great repaint of an ARH, but sadly I wouldn't be able to afford it so I would need someone else to do it.
Saul is redoing my Viking but he is really backed up I guess

I definitely will repaint my barbarian...right now will be focusing on doing some customization and repainting on Deathdealer 1 and 3.
Also did some custom work on the Viking, just gotta repaint him when I get the chance.

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

One of my horse legs broke off and another minor break as well. Got to see about exchanging it tomorrow.

Dropped my Barbarian off for a re-paint but he won't get the treatment until December. Excited to see him with the paint job he deserves!

In total agreement with both of these opinions!
Owning the Moore Barbarian with an incredible paintup is the reason I passed on the ARH version. Ehren did a fantastic job but Clay had the added benefit of having Frank Frazetta to consult with and guide as he sculpted.
