I think he totally counts (along with Kerrigan and Diablo), that was probably Blizzard subcontracting before they realized they could just do it themselves.

Plus he's awesome!

Maybe. I'm just saying it doesn't because I missed out on Arthas lol

But I have hopes that Blizz will redo Arthas

Brian Fay worked on a lot of the Sideshow Blizzard statues. The problem was licensing and deployment time.. took too long to produce them with all the statues they already make. Plus Blizzard realized they could make them and could sell more of them and for a less expensive price.

I own Arthas and the quality is excellent. Don't think they should Redo somthing that is already so great when they have so many other characters they can still make.

I don't know about that. While the art direction and the sculpt are amazing, I always felt the production paint left a lot to be desired. I don't own Arthas, and I would still jump at the chance to get the SS statue at retail, but he simply isn't at the same level of production quality as Blizzard's releases. Not to mention that Blizz is leaving A LOT of money on the table by not revisiting what is arguably their most popular character.

Owning all of Sideshow Blizzard statues and all of Blizzards in house statues I would say Arthas production quality is pretty solid. I also like how they were able to use hardly any PCV And the ice all around the base and the light up feature on the sword and eyes make in an arguably one of the best Blizzard statues out there IMO. I do respect your opinion though and definitely agree they are missing out on a lot of revenue. Furthermore if I didnt have my SS piece I would definitely be jonesing for Blizz to make one.

Like I said, the sculpt is phenomenal. That light up feature is really nice as well. It's the paint that always bothered me. It's the reason I passed on the statue when it was first available. Granted, if I knew then what my collecting focus would be like in the future I would have jumped on that order button. At the time I simply had too many statues across too many themes. Sadly I let the paint, which wasn't terrible, sway me away from purchasing.

Anyway, my point is I think Blizzard could outdo Sideshow's offering. We know they have the sculptors and we know they can deliver near prototype level quality (seriously, I think the production Sylvanas might be better than the proto).

I would agree the Sylvanas statue is quite impressive. Come to think about the Arthas paint job, under the mask his face is black and isn't painted and looks unfinished. That is definitely odd. Good thing the mask covers it atll

Out of all the 1/5 Arthas is def the worst quality. Still good but plenty to be desired. The helmet connection design is what sticks out the most. Could be done much better nowadays.

I really hope this is the next statue we get from Blizzard. Frankly i hope we get any statue other than Overwatch since they have been releasing those pretty frequently.
