Medusa Victorious (1/4 scale)

[MikeandElio]

Has anyone one gotten a NYCC COA with a different number than the number on the base?

I have #35 COA but #28 base...

I totally agree. The first one was amazing, and oh so sinister looking. The only nitpick I had on the first one, was from pics/videos the column and stoned man looked very bland paint wise - i.e. no depth or shadowing.

This new one looks much better in terms of shading and depth, but I just don't like a few big aspects about it. The first being the stoned man next to her. I find it distracting. Instead of focusing on her, my eyes focus on both and she should be the center of attention.

The other major thing I am not quite a fan of is the face and pink toned skin (would have preferred green skin like on the legs version). Her face is also too soft and pretty, which IMO, doesn't really work on a character like Medusa.

I'm pretty sure had they taken the evil, red-eyed, closed mouth face from the legs version, and the green skin of the legs version and produced those on this full snake version, I would love her.

I fell in love with this when I laid my eyes on it at NYCC last year. It's nothing but epic afaic!

My NYCC COA didn't match the base for Arkhalla. Here are my thoughts about Arkhalla which probably applies to other statues. They sold 100 NYCC EX and 100 EX. The factory produced 200 EX and labeled them EX 1-200. ARH may have intended to match their NYCC COA with the number on the box, but once all the statues came in they no longer cared as some boxes were inaccessible due to space issues. My EX was over 100, but my NYCC COA was a low number.

It is completely worthless now because they screwed up the numbers. The prints are also crap.

Don't care about no stinking card or print, never did. Love the statue.

The only reason the Medusa with legs even exists is is because ARH had plenty left over green paint and spare body parts from the Medusa with snake body.

Not a fan of the she hulk medusa..would rather have her painted completely different..who knows there might be a variant coming soon..if no variant comes I might buy it anyway

Why would they have left over green paint :P? It's the factories paint. Victorious probably wasn't even too far into production when they started on Medusa with legs....
