I hope what I said makes sense, we love what we do and we see beauty in the human form, that is why we are so excited about our Frazetta license, but we want to do Frazetta right. Great paint applications, attention to detail, and beautiful sculpts, hence why we started with Ehren. We will never show a nipple just to show a nipple, that behavior doesn't sit well with us and to be honest we feel it cheapens the product a bit. Thanks for understanding guys.

Sounds good. I'll take one artistically rendered naked cat girl please.

I know I sound like an ass, but I'm just honest about what I like. When I started out collecting, and I'm a new collector, I was all about ARH. Since then, I got some pieces from JayDee Models and I'm going to pick up cat girl from Level52. In my journey in the hobby, I'm at a place where I'm less likely to support a company, and more likely to support a piece.

So... I'm getting cat girl because 1. she's nude piece, 2. she's a frazetta piece, 3. she's an Ehren sculpt and 4. the paint app so far is beyond astounding. The next piece isn't going to have number 1... so I'll pass on it. Hoping the third goes back to feature on of frazetta's nude paintings. To each his own!!!

Great news! I moved DD on a horse into a corner




So I would have room for her in his old spot

That Atlantis looks really nice (as do the others). I passed on that in hopes that ARH would do the Tarzan/Croc dio....

Here's hoping Lvl 52 delivers.

I wish more people would see it. It is an add on to my garage and not even really part of the house, you have to walk through the garage to get to it. Really almost nobody besides me ever sees it in person and my wife and kids don't even really like it.

Thanks! I was surprised about how impressed i was with Atlantis. I'm really glad I got it. The only Frazetta's I passed on was Huntress with Cats and DDIII. I already had the DDIII 1/6 based on the revised painting and I never really liked the show a little leg DD but it looks good in person (Shedman has it).

The Huntress has also never been one of my favorite paintings and it had a really odd shaped and deep base so I passed on it, mainly because I too had anticipated a bunch more Frazettas (and now hopefully we will get them) and just don't have the space.
