Arkhalla, Queen of Vampires (1:3 Scale)

It's a super cool piece... mine had issues too, which sucks... but they will iron them out and get it back to me. I'm not so concerned with the numbering.

To ARH's credit their repaints always look much better than the factory imo.

Both fingers crossed on that one.

Ok mine arrived today without any shipping notice...lucky me there was someone at home...

Putting the statue together is really a pain in the ass...the red dress is a piece of ---- to put on the statue, i've made several red marks on the statue because of this...
Does someone know how to remove these?

Overall the statue is okay, the sculpt is awesome but the paint lacks of finish, especially in the eyes or metallic parts.

Someone turned me on to pencil eraser... I have tried on lightbmarks and it works. I know her hair marked up the skin... but you can't see that part of her so I'd try it there first.

All right so I opened it yesterday.

Everything was flawless. No breaks or blemishes. Nothing wrong I could find. Even the boxes were super flawless.

Good statue. Love the shading. I truly think her eyes are intentional to give a blood red effect.

I do wish the gold on the base and clothing had more of a mettalic look like the goblet. The blood in the goblet looks awesome.

Hate the assembly too as mentioned above. Don't like scratches on a statue even if they aren't seen.
I could see the potential for rubs so I did a test run with saran wrap in between. Kept the damage at bay but I can't figure out a way to assemble it without the risk. This isn't something to buy 2nd hand.

Overall I feel I received much of what was advertised was received and what was advertised was up there with the greatest of female statues.

Whew the word escaped comes to mind about not having to deal with ARH's customer service for my 3 statues this round.

So where exactly are the areas of concern for rubbing / scratches on this statue?
