I think if you are waiting on 5 statues you can complain about it here at least 5 times per week, not counting weekends which are open complaint days :-)

So Z... in all those 5 statues, not one topless ARH character? Come on, you had to sneak one in there?

just a suggestion

I heard a rumor he is changing it to "13thSpencer".

I also heard that someone had suggested "Great Spencer" but he said that sounded stupid.

Good morning folks,

Thank you for the words of encouragement.

We have two Astria’s in the works. One is a ¼ statue that we will be putting out to test her reception much like we did Arkhalla and Arhian. If the sales prove that enough people want her, we will be putting out a 1/3 statue to go along with Arkhalla and Arhian. As far as her themes go that is a proving difficult to pin down. Both Arhian and Arkhalla are in a state of undress, which has proven help sell the statue.

When writing Astria’s script I intentional minimized the amount of nudity to almost nothing so to help the emotion and action shine through the statue. As a result, we can’t just make her in a statue of undress as it will betray the integrity of the character. It’s proving to be an interesting challenge for Arahom to design the sculpt.

Arahom would know more about the Tarzan. I know that we need a green light from Edgar before we can produce anymore. I know we do still have the license. At one point talk of doing a Jane in a jungle outfit, but I don't know if that is still something he is planning on doing.

We are in the process of shipping out the Death Dealer.

The Death Dealer on Horse is a three box statue which means that we have to match the edition numbers to ensure that the statue fits properly when you guys assemble them. Once the boxes are matched we bind two of the boxes together to minimize shipping costs. After that, it's slapping labels on the boxes and shipping it out.

The whole process takes about 10 to 15 minutes per statue versus the 4-5 minutes it takes to prep a single boxes statue.

Because it takes so much longer to ship the Death Dealer we can not ship out nearly as many as we can the other statues. We are still shipping them out, but it is a much slower process.

Hello!
I have a question about my Death Dealer Edition!
Can you tell me why i get an Art Print with the black head with horns and the edition number 27/79 that is written under the base?
Witch edition did i have now?
There a lot of confusion with the different editions of the Death Dealer here, no one knows what is what.
Please help.
Sorry for my bad english.

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the Astria statues. I will likely purchase it just because she is an ARH comic character. But I'm still on the fence. I very much know what you mean about Arhian and Arkhalla selling more because of their undress. Frankly, Arhian 1 made me an ARH customer for that reason in and of itself. Would I like to see Astria's evolution and development follow along in those lines? Certainly I would. She is very Punisher-esque and what would make the Punisher even better? If he was a she and if she was half naked while she was blowing away the bad guys!!!

Is it worth compromising the integrity of the character? I guess thats a question for you.

Anyway, great job on her so far. Looking forward to issue 3!!!

Hello Spencer, I would also like to know why my NYCC Medusa Victorious was limited to 100 ES, but my statue is 107 of 200 and the COA says 17 of 100.

[The13thWarlock]

Here's a question... ARH has made 20 different medusa statues. Are we going to see a medusa comic coming out?

This is great news about a new Valkyrie. I recall Ehren hinting at this a long time ago when I asked him. I missed out on the original so I'd love another shot.
