I was really hoping that the release of this new one would lower the aftermarket price of the og, but I doubt that'll happen with the scaling they chose. I feel like they literally just tried to make a second Catfish one....

The catfish one (to me) looks like the one to get. Didn't know it existed until it was posted on here a few days ago.

My rank would be:
1. CF
2. Infinity (new one)
3. SSC (it's nice, but I'm not a huge fan of the pose -- or the size)

The base on the new one sells it for me. I thought it was "good" in online photos, but the army under his heel looks really awesome in person.

I'd love to get the armor on those undead soldiers painted as well as deepen the blue on their eyes to make the base stand out though

Welp, Arthas is all packed up and I already got the return shipping label from Blizzard. Glad I at least got to see him in person to make the choice.

Meh, I have the catfish one and tbh the pose on the catfish one is the least inspirational of the three as far as capturing the personality of Arthas as the Lich King. The pose on the new one to me captures that always-threatening tone that Blizzard was portraying for Arthas all throughout WoTLK during quests when Arthas would appear.

I get some say the new one is "too grey" but in comparison to the catfish one, I like that the gold on the new one doesn't stand out as much as the cat fish one. There is just too much emphasis placed on the gold on the cat fish one to a point where it doesn't look right and is even gaudy. He looks like something out of Tron.

The base on the new one is without a doubt much better than the other two, SS and CF.

Well, I think it's great we all have options, at the end of the day. But LMAO at Tron

I mean … I can kind of see what you’re going with on the Tron reference?

But that CF Lich King …



Maybe not faithful to Blizz Lich King as much as the new one , but that icy blue base... The flowing cape…

I definitely wouldn’t be wishing for another if I had it
