An extensive explanation from Level52 on their situation on IG. I am terrible at copying so hopefully someone else can do that.

If I were a betting man it sounds like this statue is going to be cancelled. Anything with a small edition size they are saying isn't going to happen.

Yes, I don't care for the helmet detail they decided on, either. There are a lot of other details on the leg armor and upper body maile that is off, but when you are the one paying for the sculpt, I guess you get what you want. At least with the ARH version[NYC DD] it came with a switch out helmet alternate.

Yeah, that is the message. To be honest, I lost faith so I asked for a refund.

There is zero chance this statue is going to be made.

Yeah, looks to Darth Vaderish to me, I got the DD 3 in kit form from Quarantine studios, looks exact like Frazetta?s sketch, I am still not pleased with the helm choice, probably Frazetta Jr’s choice.

I think this may actually be Frank Sr vision for what it would look like. When Randy Bowen was asking him about how to handle it on the first sculpt of DD on a horse this is the note Frank Sr gave him but even if from Frank himself I still don?t like it.

Yeah I know that was Franks sketch that he wanted Bowen to incorporate with the 1st one, Paul from quarantine studios had two heads for his Deathdealer 3, and I think Paul said that Frazetta jr rejected the head that I preferred and went with seniors sketch version, which I wasn’t pleased with.
I definitely prefer the chainmaille from the ARH helmets to the motocross mouth covering, but not a dealbreaker.

I see. I passed on the quarantine version because of the helmet but he also looked bow legged to me. I greatly prefer the first 1/6 DD3 revised that I already have. I don?t know who did that one
