Debate for me was over once i saw the Sais! Rest of it was just not enough to tempt me.

The piece is great but the price shows how ARH is out of touch with the current market and collectors in general. Even in the aftermarket on a good day this would suffer a 50% loss.

If I was ARH I would be working out how to sell these pieces at least $200 less to have a chance to survive as a business over the next few years.

ARH was and still is stuck with a lot of old stock that he had to slash 40% off to try get rid of them..and when that failed a variant is made...and if he continues to charge these crazy prices on variants and also for the new statues he will end up stuck with a bunch of freshly painted new statues that will also need a 40% price slash to get the boot out of the studio!

Exactly at these prices I really have to think and choose what I want.And have passed on a few of them.

I honestly thought we were talking about another variant here.
$575 for that?

We already know that ARH work in very small runs in a market that is quite small even for known characters.
Achilles is still available at $395 on their site. They had a few specials heavily discounting it and still couldn't sell out. That's a good statue and good price.
Tarzan Primal Rage was originally $599 and is utterly epic. They could only get enough orders for 60+ to be made.

I'd be surprised if they sell 10 of this.

You never know. I bought one of these.

It is a kit as part of the "Denizens of Zo" which is kind of an opposite of Oz vibe. They have several including a scarecrow with a flame thrower but I really only wanted this one. The concept art and the original kit came with Toto in a basket but I really liked the Rotweiller with the "KC" dog tags as a nice touch. Their bases didn't match so Saul had to make me a new one. All others I have seen are painted in an army drab style color but I wanted mine painted with red leather boots to at least maintain the kind of "ruby slippers" I was going to go with glitter boots but decided on the red leather instead, and then decided I wanted to keep the original colors of blue and white as well. Here is the original art and an alternative color scheme with the toto in a basket painted by Jim Capone.
