I try not to wish anyone ill, but he had plenty of opportunities to make things right, or at least wipe the slate with a refund.

The guy is just a piece of s#it as far I'm concerned.

Did he over reach and over overpromise? Yup. You guys think losing a couple grand in statues was bad? He was shorting my paycheck every month for over a year haha. But I hung in there. Even after Blizzard offered me a job I was hesitant becuse I honestly believed in what arahom and I were doing. Long story short- dude bit off more than he could chew. It’s practically a miracle he could keep things going as long as he did. I’ll always love and appprciate that guy. For his passion, his crazy ideas, his outsized personality… but in this industry it takes a some balance to make things work. And Arahom is a better artist than he is a business man. I really hope one day we get a Netflix Arkhalla series in the vein of Spartacus Blood and Sand. That’s his dream. I still believe in him … even if he is a crazy ----er.

qz33's above post needs to be made into a sticky thread for the ARH Studios section.

The 1/4 Arkhalla Fight was also a scam on the customer.

Why would that be bad? You guys confuse me, Being in the USA is better for many reasons. If you knew what Brazil was like. I've never had any bad experience with Arahom so I can't speak on those things, but we all know that people like to make up things as keyboard warriors do. I'm not sure if I believe any of these bad comments to be honest. It's all he said she said at the end of the day. The only thing that matters really is that you have a good statue in your home. Where's the proof of all these bad experiences? If anyone is still having issues with past orders I sure I could ask him about it. Two sides to every story as it were. Trying to run a business would it make sense to "Steal" from people knowing that this will hurt your future sales? This just doesn't make sense to me. Sure I've had late orders or delayed production but who cares. You want consistency and by the book they buy from sideshow and stop complaining. He's kind of a one man operation so things are bound to happen of course. Spouting negativity never did anyone any good. It's not your mission to keep bringing up the same thing over and over. Humans make mistakes and will continue to but getting better is the real key to moving on. This is a rant and I'm not trying to upset anyone but I started a nice post of a new statue and now it has turned to ---- because people just got to chime in about ---- that happened years ago. I got better things to do then ruin people's posts.

I knew if we waited long enough, Arahom would come out of hiding!
