Medusa Victorious (1/4 scale)

Damn this looks great! Could do for a different snake colour though...

IMO......this would have worked better if the guy in the coils......was painted, like they showed here....and the guy under the coils was stone.....

Then you wouldn't get the impression that she was torturing/chasing down the guy under her. The way I imagine it is that her tail is about to pick him up and then make him look at her.

I get your vision of this....but the stone guy is so detailed....why waist all that by not painting him.....

I get what you're saying.

I think it works both ways. The stone guy being so detailed makes him look like a well sculpted statue, which helps create the classic style to the diorama and is also just really cool. It's an important setpiece too. The statue being close to her face helps contrast with the beautifulness of her portrait and human skin by showing you what results from facing off against her.

I think this piece is really well thought out. More than people are giving it credit for. I also think the concept of a beautiful looking Medusa is really interesting. To me it combines the mythos of a siren with that of medusa, and I think it's an interesting take on the original tale.

It's just as sad. She goes from being beautiful to retaining her beauty, but only in the upper half of her body. Even worse, no one can admire her beauty anymore. It could make for an interesting story.

To bad they don't give you a choice......I'll wait for a someday, repaint then....

I like your interpretation, Gyro.

I was more impressed by the Mermaids than Medusa.

We expected a mixed reaction as a lot of collectors look at the first one as a grail. I did my best to crate a narrative here that was entirely different than the first one and I'm honestly damn proud of how it turned out. People may balk at the price tag but with all the elements on the base included you are essentially getting what amounts to 4 quarter scale figures. And yeah, after assembling the statue we decided to make the dude on the bottom still alive so it could appear he was trying to get away and the spiked tail was coming around to finish him off. Honestly I get the haters but this was by far our most well received piece at comic con this year. Time will tell...
