Yes it came included with the faction packs. It also says its can only be used on select CotD peices so I assume the ones that dont sell as well will be allowed this discount. Hopefully it can be used on the vast majority since only a few from the collection I really desire. we shall see soon enough I believe. Either with the release of kier or when the Queen starts shipping.

That was a great vid, loved seeing all those Elizabethan and Victorian influences in the concept sketches, also excited to hear them mention Mayan culture as a possible influence.

This could be a great companion piece to the Egyptian inspired Cleopsis.

The Anubis headpiece, the inverted Ankh symbol that is exposing her body cavity.
Also those bottles on her back were known as Canopic jars and were used to store the organs of the person that was to be mummified, so she has her heart, lungs etc, strapped to her back.

I love how they fashioned Xiall from those time periods. It's one of my periods in time.

Being that I was in Mexico recently, I soaked in all that Mayan culture and hope they introduce a character influenced in such a way.

Strange enough as amazing as these statues seem for the work of art that they are, and I was really excited to see the line-up when displayed at SDCC, I have completely lost interest now...very odd given that I love supernatural/creatures themed statues.

Whats caused you to lose interest?

That is the odd part, I had QOTD on order because i really appreciated the artistic and unique nature of the sculpt, but after giving it some deep thought I realized that it was just a temporary thing and really have no tangible connection to it. I still stand that these are marvelous pieces of art though.

I dont think anyone can have any tangible connection to it since its a new property. I think the reason I'm getting them is not only due to being works of art, but the theme of the undead. They will look real good displayed with some of my more heroic fantasy counterparts. Mind you, I'm not getting all of them. Of the ones announced, I'm on board with 6 of them.

Perhaps that is what it is, who knows. 6 is quite a large sample from the entire line, I am glad you are very enthusiastic about these pieces, I hope the line does very well. The artists that worked on this are creme de la creme for sure.
