He did one for the new RS and is also offering a few capes for her.

The wallet weeps.

Yes he never stopped. Just inquirie. The custom cape is so freaking good in person. It's like a darth talon and grevious ex. So much better with the cape imo. Without it now the Sonja feels so incomplete now. That first Sonja should have never went through due to the awful paint. The proto was so good but production was nothing close. Should have all been recalled and done over again.

Maybe he did get too many at one point and had to stop. Hope this new one will get the same factory as the Harbottle one. From my guess it should because this one will be expensive as well.

I'm really looking forward to the full reveal on this one. Depending on the reveal, I may go after this one.

A King Conan companion piece for this would be so cool!

I think the portrait is quite beautiful. It actually also looks like a portrait that would have worked VERY well on the Jane Foster Thor.

The only part of this statue I'm not liking is the pouch on her belt. Looks too square and molded for that time. I would have like to see no pouch at all, but if needed, more of a rounded/tiny saddlebag approach.

Also, I think that this statue and the snake slayer go well together in showing the different sides of Sonja. Shame for people looking to move the first one as the paint apps make it by far the weakest of the three.

I'm still mad that ss never gave us a unmasked portrait for that she Thor. Such a lost opportunity.

Aside from the nice pose and cool braided hair, I especially like the different armor and gloves on this one.
A very nice boobed Sonja here but the face is a little wider/puffier than I like but no matter, this is a piece to follow closely !

Well I do wonder if this is what is holding up XM's She Thor. They had a beautiful unmasked portrait, that while is not comic accurate (she's never seen in her Thor gear unmasked) is stunning. Marvel could be telling them no unmasked portrait, but we shall see.

SS followed the comics, for that I give them credit. Now if they elected not to give us a second portrait solely because of comic accuracy versus the cost of making a second portrait is something we will never know.

Though I have my suspicions given their recent track record of EX options it was the latter reason.
